Für den Inhalt der Mitteilung ist der Emittent / Herausgeber verantwortlich.*Frankfurt, July 25, 2025** – The Nordic high-yield (HY) bond market posted a record €12.2 billion in issuance during H1 2025 – a 30% increase year-on-year and the strongest first-half performance in the market’s history. This growth was underpinned by robust refinancing activity, sustained private equity demand, and rising international participation from both issuers and investors.*
*International appetite accelerates Nordic growth*
Issuers from across Europe are increasingly turning to the Nordic HY format, drawn by its speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency. A standout example is Flora Food, backed by KKR, which issued a €400 million senior unsecured bond under Norwegian law in Q2. Approximately 70% of issuance volume originated from Nordic-based issuers, while cross-border interest continued to climb.
Germany further cemented its role as a key growth market for Nordic-format bonds, with €750 million in issuance during H1 – a 94% year-on-year increase and an all-time high for a first half. Notably, Pareto Securities acted in all German Nordic-format transactions, reinforcing its unmatched presence in the DACH region.
*Market stability and resilient performance*
Despite geopolitical tensions and temporary spikes in market volatility in Q2, risk sentiment stabilised quickly. Credit spreads returned to pre-April levels, and the Nordic HY market remained orderly, supported by continued investor demand and disciplined positioning.
*Pareto Securities defends market leadership*
In H1 2025, Pareto Securities participated in over 60% of all Nordic HY transactions, completing 58 debt capital market transactions with a total volume exceeding €8 billion. The firm maintained its leading market share across EUR-denominated, sponsor-backed, and overall Nordic HY bond activity – reaffirming its position as the go-to partner for mid-cap debt financing in Europe.
