Supranational bonds: EIB, ESM, World Bank and other development banks

What are supranational bonds?

They are loans to bodies owned by several states — multilateral development banks (EIB, World Bank, EBRD…) or stability mechanisms (ESM, EFSF). They don’t belong to a single country: they are backed by the member states behind them. They often carry a very high credit standing precisely because of that base of guarantors.

Are supranational bonds government bonds?

Not strictly: they’re issued by an international body, not a state. In practice they’re often grouped with government bonds by risk profile (the “SSA” bucket, Sovereign–Supranational–Agency). They remain distinct instruments, with their own issuer and their own backing.

How many supranational bonds are in this list?

Right now the official EU register (FIRDS/ESMA) reports 289 not yet matured, from 19 issuers. The list refreshes weekly together with the register.

Does it include prices and yields?

No. This is a registry — ISIN, coupon, currency, maturity, venue — not a price list: prices change constantly and you’ll see them at your broker. If you have a price, you can estimate the yield to maturity with the Rebalix calculator.
