From the Back Cover

This book offers a clear, insightful perspective on the post-eurofixed-income markets of Europe. The introduction of the euro in1999 cast a new focus on the financial markets of constituenteuro-zone countries which have subsequently seen their domesticmarkets emerge as the second largest bond market in the world afterAmerica, with bonds being the most important asset-class-rivallingequities. Such critical size and importance results from theharmonization of macro-economic targets, and has considerablybroadened the scope of individual national debt markets.

The essential characteristics and institutional details of thefixed-income markets of euro-zone countries as well as theirindividual fixed-income market are introduced and discussed by 26prominent international academics and market practitioners. Theirunique and detailed country analyses of both the euro and non-euroEuropean countries will add measurably to an understanding of thesemarkets.

There has been a paucity of volumes with extensive coverage ofthe fixed-income markets of the euro area since the inception ofthe euro, and this book aims to partially fill that void.

The book will be of interest to institutional investors,bankers, corporate treasurers, etc.
