Abstract
This chapter covers the long-term evolution of the primary market for foreign government debt. It discusses the role of financial intermediaries as underwriters and distributors of securities, providers of information, and lending of last resort services since the early nineteenth century, and the evolution of this role. The chapter underscores the role of the prestige of global financial brands in sustaining early foreign debt markets and its weakening in the modern era.
