Listing Debt

The New Zealand stock exchange has a board for debt issuance - the NZDX. Companies seeking to raise debt finance are able to benefit from the same reasons as listing equity if debt is quoted on the NZDX.

These benefits include:

Access to capital for growth

Diversifying funding sources from traditional bank lending

The strong public and investor profile of the NZX market

Access to a range of investors

The NZDX has:

154 listed issues
50 listed issuers
Market capitalisation $55.1b
20 new debt issues in 2017 raising $3.2b
27 new debt issues in 2018 raising $4.9b
18 new debt issues in 2019 raising $4.6b
15 new debt issues in 2020 raising $4.1b
23 new debt issues in 2021 raising $6.1b
25 new debt issues in 2022 raising $6.8b
