The Debt Markets in India and all around the world are dominated by Government securities, which account for between 50 – 75% of the trading volumes and the market capitalization in all markets. Government securities (G-Secs) account for 70 – 75% of the outstanding value of issued securities and 90-95% of the trading volumes in the Indian Debt Markets. State Government securities & Treasury Bills account for around 3-4 % of the daily trading volumes. The trading activity in the G-Sec.
