Major Holders of Czech Public Debt in February

CZECHIA
  • Czech domestic government securities rose to a total of 1.96tr CZK in February 2021.
  • The share of Non-Resident Holders (NRH) of Czech public debt increased by 10.2bn CZK in February to a total of 641.7bn CZK (32.7% of the domestic government securities).
  • Biggest holder of Czech debt remains Financial Corporations, totalling 63.1% of the domestic government securities.
  • The increased share of Non-Resident Holders could cause a risk if uncertainty over inflation expectations or economic activity rises as foreign investors are usually the main sellers of government bonds when volatility increases.
  • Rising uncertainty leads to a surge in the term premium and therefore higher interest rates as NRH of Czech government debt require a higher compensation for holding the interest rate risk.
  • In Developed Markets, financial institutions often intervene in markets to buy the debt sold by NRH when volatility in the bond market surges.
