STATISTICS OF ISSUES

||| N.B. N.B. “These statistics—in contrast to the usual statistics of issues—comprise not the securities issued in the various countries, but the credits received by these countries. Thus, for example, the Russian || N.B. loan taken up in London and Paris is listed under Russia, not Great Britain and France.
