The outstanding amount of debt securities issued by euro area FVCs was €1,550 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2020, €13 billion higher than at the end of the previous quarter.

The annual growth rate of debt securities issued, calculated on the basis of transactions, decreased to 4.2% in the second quarter of 2020, from 5.4% in the previous quarter.
