While the European Union was dealt a blow earlier this year when both Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and MSCI declined to add the EU to its government bond indices, there is hope that the EU will still achieve sovereign index inclusion sooner rather than later – perhaps as early as 2025. Such a move would have the single biggest impact to the EU’s bonds, making it attractive to global investors and increasing its demand, performance and liquidity. #EU #capitalmarkets #fixedincome #safeasset
