Q1 2014 U.S. Investment Bank Round-Up: Debt Origination

The global debt capital markets grew to $1.57 trillion in size in Q1 2014 - slightly higher than the $1.52 trillion figure for the same period last year and 18% above the $1.33 trillion in Q4 2013. But the period was also the worst in terms of number of debt origination deals since Q3 2011.
