maryprz14 higher credit risk?
then in the notes, non-sovereign bond receives higher credit rating due to low default rate... often higher yield than sovereign bonds.
I'm so confused.
khalifa92 true non-sovereign has low default risk but in comparison to sovereign you cant just give the same yield thus it's more (small percentage) due to credit risk and liquidity.
