1- The borrower in one country issues bonds in the market of another country (the host country)through a syndicate in the host country. the sale is mainly to residents of the host country ,and the bonds are denominated in the currency of the host country .these transaction are said to be taking place in the foreign bond markets.
2- the borrower in one country issue bonds in the market of many countries ,with the help of a multinational loan syndicate ,to residents of many countries .the bonds can be denominated in any of several different currencies (including the currency of the country of the issuer but also other currencies that are not necessarily of the countries in which the bonds are sold ). these transaction are said to be taking place in the euro-bond markets.
