Statistics period: February 2024
In February, bonds worth 90 kr. billion were issued behind adjustable-rate loans (RTL bonds). Foreign investors bought 37 kr. billion of the issued bonds, increasing the foreign ownership share of RTL bonds from 16 per cent in January to 18 per cent in February. This is shown by new and improved data from October 2024 on foreign transactions and holdings of mortgage bonds. The improvement provides a better opportunity to track the development of foreign ownership in RTL bonds from month to month than previously, where foreign ownership shares were most accurate in the settlement months of January, April, July, and October (green points in the figure). The improvements from October 2024 are described in more detail in the box below.
