- Abstract
- While historically only very large firms issued in the European corporate bond market, recent years have seen the entry of many new players: small, private, and unrated issuers. Firm-level data show these new players face different game dynamics. They are disconnected from aggregate market movements and still depend heavily on banks. This means hey could potentially affect financial stability and be less responsive to policy interventions.

- Abstract
- Using newly available micro-data, this paper documents new evidence on the rise of nonbank credit to mid-size firms in the euro area. Recent new issuers of debt securities are typically small, private, and unrated. Their spreads are comparable to high-yield bonds. Traditional “buy-and-hold” investors are small for unrated and smaller issuers, while nonbank intermediaries are large. These non-bank intermediaries were however as stabilizing as insurers during the March 2020 turmoil. Nevertheless, the subsequent bond issuance wave was restricted to large and rated firms. This market thus more closely resembles “private debt” markets than the traditional bond market.
