NEW YORK, NY, December 11, 2018 – CUSIP Global Services (CGS) today announced the release of its CUSIP Issuance Trends Report for November 2018. The report, which tracks the issuance of new security identifiers as an early indicator of debt and capital markets activity over the next quarter, found monthly increases in domestic corporate issuance, while requests for municipal and international identifiers declined in November. This is suggestive of a possible slowdown in the pace of new issuance activity in the first quarter of the New Year.
