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.
