Article Abstract:
Salomon Smith Barney has prepared a report for the Australian government in which it is proposed that all state and federal government debt should be consolidated into a single body, thus removing the A$74 billion semi-government bond market. It is argued that federal government bonds represent only 0.45% of the global bond market, but this would rise to around 1% if semi-government bonds were linked with federal raisings.
