Debt security offerings

Amounts are in millions (M.kr.)
Data on securities offerings (bonds and bills) are collected for the purpose of monitoring developments in securities offerings (initial sales, i.e. new issues of bonds) in Iceland, classified by issuers, forms and lifetime, as well as the yield on their sale. The Central Bank also utilizes the data in its operations and for analytical purposes.

Foundation in law

The foundation in law for data collection is in Article 32 of the Act of the Central Bank of Iceland, No. 92/2019 (in Icelandic). In accordance with Article 41 of the Act, the Central bank is allowed to exchange information with public entities concerning matters falling under the scope of this Act if the exchange of information is consistent with the legally mandated role of the Central Bank or the recipient.

Securities offerings

Data  on securities offerings are processed on the basis of information provided by issuers or intermediaries in tenders. Listed securities are published on the NASDAQ OMX Iceland. The offerings are categorized into open and closed offerings at the time of sale, and their total value is calculated each month.

Information on securities offerings is obtained from Government Debt Management, the Housing Financing Fund (now discontinued), banks, securities firms and other intermediaries in securities offerings.
