Government securities worldwide - statistics & facts
Government investing and government-backed securities are important tools, aiding in the function of the global economy and local financial systems. Government back securities are debt instruments issued by a local government. Due to the nature of these securities, they are considered to be lower risk than other financial securities. This particularly applies to bonds issued by the U.K. government or to American bonds inclusive of the dollar-denominated green bonds as the markets for these bonds are extremely liquid. As a result of this, many government investment funds such as public pension funds (PPFs) allocate a sizable portion of their portfolio to fixed-income and treasury securities.
