The security of sources of financing is of undoubted importance for the continuous and sustainable operation of economic entities, which is a long-term interest of persons interested in the operation of economic entities. In the structure of possible sources of financing of economic entities, corporate bonds are of great importance everywhere in the world, and their application in the Republic of Serbia could bring a great contribution to the domestic economy. Corporate bonds are debt obligations issued by corporation to debt refinancing, improvements, expansions or acquisitions. The bondholders are the issuer's creditors and for the money invested in the company, they expect earnings. The main goal of this paper is to consider the conditions and importance of issuing corporate bonds by medium and large companies in Serbia and the advantage over other sources of financing. Based on the obtained research results, it can be concluded that the issuance of bonds is a good alternative to other sources of financing the company's operations, but the corporate bond market in Serbia is in the development phase. Bond issuers with listing on the regulated market of the Belgrade Stock Exchange include, in addition to the state, only certain commercial banks and international financial organizations.

The Polish corporate bond market does not have a history as long as the American one, however, it is characterized by stable annual growth. The growth of the market is related to the growth of its liquidity and is determined by a number of entities, both on the demand and the supply side. The aim of the study was to present the structure of the Catalyst market and bond trading in Poland. The study also discusses the market’s development and identifies the factors that determine this development. Based on reports concerning trading on the Catalyst market, a huge growth was noticed in the 10 years since the market’s establishment. Forecasts indicate that the growth will continue. The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic will cause the market development to be slower than the model’s forecast, although the data for the first nine months of 2020 suggest that the upward trend will be maintained. Moreover, for the market to continue to thrive, a rating must be compulsory for corporate bond issuers. A comparison of the ratings of individual issuers enables investors to analyze the risk and profitability of corporate bonds in an easier way.

In this paper, the question of price anomaly’s existence in the ruble bond market is considered. The construction of the profitable investment (trade) strategy on the relatively best and relatively worst corporate bonds that are ranged by the historical return allows to reveal the anomaly. The testing is conducted at the total sample (303 bonds of Russian issuers) and the sub-sample (25 liquid bonds of Russian issuers). The results that include the selection of the trade strategy’s design (the analysis of more than 6 thousand combinations of historical return periods investment periods and the percentiles of the best and worst portfolios) allow to detect the reversal effect (when the profitable strategy includes investing in to former losers who have demonstrated the lowest historical return). The investments in former winners also may be profitable, but the parameters of the strategy design become crucial to reach this effect. The result above justifies the fact that Russian corporate bond market is overestimated, the bond demand is higher that the bond supply that leads to the anomaly in the dynamics of the return, when the investment in losers makes it possible to get profit.

This paper provides evidence of ratings shopping in the corporate bond market. By estimating systematic differences in agencies’ biases about any given firm’s bonds, I show that new bonds are more likely to be rated by agencies that are positively biased toward the firm—a pattern that is strongest among bonds that have only one rating. The paper also shows that issuers often delay less favorable ratings until after a bond is sold. Consistent with theoretical models of ratings shopping, these effects are strongest among more complex bonds that are more difficult to rate. Bonds with upward-biased ratings are more likely to be downgraded and default, but investors account for this bias and demand higher yields when buying these bonds. This paper was accepted by Gustavo Manso, finance.

Bond is one of commercial instrument that influence economic sector in Indonesia. Bond transaction can't be made in the market directly, but it has been traded through securities. On average, there are only few bond transactions with the various market prices. Benchmarking is, therefore, needed to be created to determining bond price through yield curve. Through yield curve, the relation between yield of bond with same credit risk (rating) and different time to maturity can be seen. This research is conducted by employing time to maturity to model the yield of some selected corporate bonds with rating of AA and A. Two methods, Nelson Siegel Svensson (NSS) method couple with Levenberg-Marquardt optimization and Cubic Spline Smoothing (CSS) are employed here. These two methods have been applied to data from Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) ranging September to November 2008. The results show that CSS give smallest RMSE and MAE. In contrast, Nelson Siegel Svensson reports a model which more parsimony, more easily to be explained, and more adaptable to keep upfoward maturity than CSS. This research takes into account that NSS is better to be to model corporate bonds yield curve than CSS. Another importance conclusion that can be gather is that corporate bonds (with rating of AA and A) yield are hang about under IGSYC in certain period. Its means, that corporate bond market in Indonesia is not good for investment comparing to government bond.

The corporate bond market development is integral to increase the resilience of the Russian economy to external shocks and to build a new growth model in terms of sanctions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of the Russian corporate bond market and to develop proposals for accelerating its further development considering the international experience. The proposals are based on a study of the legal base for the functioning of the international bond market, as well as modern technologies and tools that have proven to be effective in practice. As part of a comparative analysis, a hypothetical-deductive research method has been used. The author has proposed: to develop and adopt independent federal law “On Corporate Bonds”; to amend and supplement the Russian legislation on the protection of the rights of investors who purchase corporate bonds; to make trial (debut) issues in the Russian stock market for bonds denominated in foreign currencies (for example, in RMB); to expand the line of bond types, etc. It has been concluded that, despite the unfavorable external and internal conditions, there is a steady increase in the number of issuers and corporate bonds in circulation in Russia. Active bond issue in the Russian financial market in the near future will happen not only in the corporate, but also in the public segment. It will require more active involvement of individuals in purchasing government and corporate bonds as investors. Various types of institutional investors competing with banks will also be attracted. Corporate bond issue can ease the financial burden of banks and companies that have problems with refinancing their external debts. It can also help to solve the problem of financing of the Russian companies that have focused on obtaining various bank loans in order to implement their business plans. This will help to increase the supply of temporarily free monetary resources, to reduce their cost and more efficiently transform savings into investments.

The formation and development of the corporate bond market is influenced by global regulatory reform and other government policy initiatives that affect all financial markets. Political, legislative, regulatory and fiscal changes must be well adapted to support the viability of corporate bond markets (both domestic and international). Financial market policy in general should not slow down bond markets, but should ensure optimal interaction between investors and issuers. Historical examples show how regulation, legislation, and other aspects of public policy can stimulate or slow down corporate bond markets. Currently, access to bond markets is limited for most companies due to the high cost of issuance, but the corporate bond market continues to expand. Regulation of the corporate bond market is a key factor that determines the possibility of attracting financial resources through this debt instrument from domestic and foreign investors. In this respect, it is important to pay attention not only to the issue of specific new regulatory and policy initiatives, but also to a careful review of the overall legal and regulatory framework. The purpose of the article is to systematize and analyze the legal framework for the issuance and circulation of corporate bonds in Eastern Europe. The article lists the main transactions in corporate bonds during their life cycle. The difference between the concepts of "corporate bond issue" and "corporate bond circulation" is substantiated. An analysis of the specifics of corporate bond regulation on the example of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia is carried out. The list of the basic laws of the countries of Eastern Europe regulating issue and circulation of corporate bonds is given. The common and distinctive features in the reporting and methods of information disclosure by corporate bond issuers in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries are analyzed. The structure of the corporate bond issue prospectus is determined. The main innovations in the Ukrainian legislation on the regulation of the issue and circulation of corporate bonds are analyzed.
