  Bonds are an important instrument used to raise funds by governments, banks, corporations and projects. Issuing bonds facilitates greater diversification in funding and brings many benefits to the economy, including diversified funding sources and financial sector stability. The liquidity of the bond market is increased by repo agreements, which help traders finance and manage their portfolios.
