This statistic illustrates the total size of bond markets in Europe as of the 31st of December 2016. It can be seen that the Euro government bond market was by far the largest, with a total size of more than six trillion euros, at that time. The second largest bond market was the Euro IG ex-financials market, with a size of over 1.1 trillion euros. So-called junk bonds with ratings of BB to CCC made up a much smaller share of overall bonds in Europe, due to the much higher risk associated with investment in these bonds. Contingent Convertibles (CoCos) made up a small section of the bond markets, with a total size of 104 billion euros as of December 2016.
