Strong demand for government and corporate debt offerings is reshaping capital markets in 2026. The Czech Republic is expanding its retail bond program after public orders surpassed $1 billion within a week of launch. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund attracted investor interest for a $7 billion dollar bond sale, marking the kingdom's return to public markets following regional disruptions. In India, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance will raise 50 billion rupees through a floating-rate bond offering, the largest such local currency debt sale by an Indian financier. The renewed investor interest across developed and emerging markets reflects confidence in diversified debt portfolios.
