Capital Issuance

The data here represent the sterling equivalent of total new capital issued and existing capital repaid during each period. Net figures are derived by subtracting repayments from issues.

These data are derived from information provided by UK-based Issuing and Paying Agents (IPAs), who act on behalf of companies issuing debt on the UK capital markets, and the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Each IPA submits a monthly return listing security-by-security information on each bond issue and repayment transacted and issuer-by-issuer information on Commercial Paper (CP) transactions. The LSE submit a similar return listing new shares issued and existing shares removed under rolling share buyback programmes.
