Australasian markets solid but unspectacular in H1 2014, KangaNews's issuance data show

Issuance data for the first half of 2014 paint an unspectacular picture of most Australasian markets so far this year. Volume in most sectors has been solid in comparison with the same point a year ago but, of the markets KangaNews tracks, only Kauri deal flow was on pace for an annual record by the end of June.
