Covers primary issuance data related to leveraged/non-leveraged loans and high yield/non-high yield bonds (apart from APAC, where we do not track non-high yield bond activity). Sponsor-backed facilities and leveraged corporate issuance are included. Leveraged corporate issuance is rated BB+ and below by S&P and Fitch, and/or Ba1 by Moody’s. Where ratings agencies differ, a facility will be included where two of the three main agencies rate it as BB+ or below, or equivalent. Due to technical factors, geopolitical considerations, deal flow and market sizing of the areas being covered, data comparisons are not possible between Asia-Pacific, Latin America/Caribbean and CEEMEA.
