There are 28 issuers looking to raise at least €30.4 billion ($31.7 billion), according to data compiled by Bloomberg, though that amount is likely to grow throughout the day. That’s the most borrowers ever in a single day, according to the data, which goes back a decade.

Europe’s primary bond market is just getting under way in earnest on Tuesday, with many investors taking last week off for New Year’s and some celebrating the Epiphany on Monday. Following a record year of new issuance in 2024, borrowers are flocking to the market again in part because spreads – the compensation that investors demand over a benchmark rate – are near their tightest since early 2022.
“The way the calendar fell this year means that a lot of issuance has been pushed into this holiday–shortened week,” said Marco Baldini, global head of investment-grade syndicate at Barclays Plc. “But fortunately, investors are very cash-rich and have made room for new issues.”
Banks including Barclays Plc, BPCE SA, Natwest Markets Plc, Nationwide, Commerzbank AG are selling new deals. Nestle SA is seeking an expected €1 billion from a seven-year offering as well as a rare 20-year issue. Renault SA’s financing company is seeking a three-year deal and Enel SpA is offering a two-part hybrid bond.
Companies tapped the market early this year, getting ahead of earnings blackout windows starting later this month.
