Leading the field in Asia

Euromoney's tables were compiled using data from Capital Data Bondware and Capital Data Loanware for the period January 1 to October 31 1997. The regions covered in the rankings were north Asia, south-east Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Australasia. However, Australian and New Zealand dollar transactions were excluded from the table of Asian currency bonds. Both public and private issues, where available, were included in the tables and were correct at the time of going to press.
