March 2016
May 13th, 2016
Banco de Portugal publishes today, in table A.25 of
the Statistical Bulletin and in BPstat, data on shares
and debt securities issues for March 2016.
At the end of March 2016, the net securities issued
(gross issues minus redemptions) by residents
amounted to 1.5 billion euros (Chart 1), with the
contribution mainly from the general government,
with net issues of 1.8 billion euros (Chart 2). This
sector maintained the preference for long term issues, with positive net issues of 2.9 billion euros in
The outstanding amount of securities issued by residents at the end of March amounted to 426.8 billion euros, which corresponds to an increase of 5.0
billion euros with respect to the previous month
(Chart 3). Besides the net issues of this month, this
increase resulted largely from the valuations of
listed shares issued by non-financial corporations,
which almost cancelled the losses recorded in the
first two months of the year.
