Europe's growing league of small corporate bond issuers: new players, different game dynamics

Retrieved on: 
Friday, November 11, 2022

In the eurozone since 2008, aggregate market financing has been growing significantly faster than bank lending.

Key Points: 
  • In the eurozone since 2008, aggregate market financing has been growing significantly faster than bank lending.
  • Policymakers have supported the increase in bond financing as it can help insulate firms from shocks to the banking sector by diversifying sources of funds.
  • These new players are considered key to achieving a transition from a largely bank-based system towards more capital market funding.
  • To this end, in Darmouni and Papoutsi (2022), we have built a large panel dataset, using two decades of micro-data.
  • We have used this to study the European corporate bond markets new players: smaller, private, and unrated issuers that have entered the market in recent years.
  • This is important because, while these new issuers embody the shift towards increased capital market funding, they might be "invisible" in aggregate bond market volume or spreads.
  • While bank loans still account for the largest share of corporate debt, euro area firms have increasingly resorted to bond financing, especially following the global financial crisis of 2008-09.
  • This is justified by the number of firms entering the bond market.
  • In March 2020, at the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, European corporate bond markets were thrown into turmoil.
  • However, our study paints a different picture: it seems that the pullback of bond investors was primarily aimed at the largest, rated issuers.
  • Overall, our paper suggests that the new players in the growing minor league of the European bond market are largely disconnected from the more established, top-division players and still heavily bank-dependent.
  • First, if we rely entirely on aggregate bond market indicators, we might not pick up on what is happening with smaller issuers.
  • Third, interventions aimed at stimulating the bond market might have limited impact on smaller issuers relative to larger, investment grade firms.
  • Overall, looking at European corporate bond markets through the lens of firm-level data reveals striking differences between the major and minor leagues.
