The SPSS 16.0 version was used to derive the results. The paired samples statistics, samples tests applied to derive the results. The study found that the number of bonds listed, value of bonds traded as well as value of bonds listed were higher regarding the exchanges of the Americas region, followed by the Asia – Pacific Exchanges and the Europe – Africa – Middle East Exchanges. The positive correlation established regarding no. of bonds listed of one region to another region except from Asia – Pacific to Europe – Africa – Middle East. Regarding value of bonds traded as well as value of bonds listed the positive correlation established from one region to another region except from the Europe – Africa – Middle East to the Americas exchanges. This study affirmed that there was a significant difference between each other in terms of no. of bonds listed, value of bonds traded and value of bonds listed. Hence, it is suggested that respective stock exchanges as well as respective government should take necessary steps to increase the volume and value of bonds in international fixed income market. Key Words : Value of Bonds Listed, No. of Bonds Listed, Value of Bonds Traded,Americas Exchanges,Asia- Pacific Exchanges and Europe-Afica-Middle East. INTRODUCTION International bonds can be defined as debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments and corporations. Although these securities have always represented a significant part of the global investable market . The investors have achieved diversification of a portfolio primarily through the use of international equities, but over the past ten years the global investable market has changed significantly , largely as a result of the growth and maturation of world bond markets combined with the ongoing globalization of businesses and capital flow. International bonds now make up more than 35 per cent of the world’s investable assets, and yet many domestic investors have little or no exposure to these securities.There should be an allocation to international bonds by addressing their potential diversification benefits, risks, and costs, paying particular attention to the role of currency ,mitigate volatility in a diversified portfolio, we find that foreign bonds can play such a role, assuming that the currency risk inherent to this asset class is hedged. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Mercado Financiero de Renta Fija(2012) opined that the financial market of fixed income securities is analyzed. In resume: issues of monetary market, T-Bills and other coupon-zero notes, mortgage bonds, T- Bonds, strips, corporate bonds, international bonds, and floating rate notes (FRN). Finally, an introduction to risk in this asset class is shown. Winter (1983) examines the extent to which international and domestic fixed- income securities are included in efficient portfolios and the effect on efficient set composition of using the Sharpe portfolio selection model as compared to the Markowitz portfolio selection model further he focused on the sensitivity of efficient set characteristics produced from a single-index based portfolio selection model to alternative world market indices; and observed that the correspondence between expected and realized portfolio risk and return for the different portfolio selection models. Jerome Kreuse(1980). currently used for fixed income portfolio management, is discussed. The objective is the maximization of total return; i.e., income plus unrealized gains and losses from fixed income securities. The model allows for optimization over arbitrary horizons and interest rate scenarios. Portfolio trading prior to the horizon is also allowed. Risk analysis is introduced on the variability of the rate of return. Significantly the model combines a mean-variance approach in linear programming format. The use of the model for income planning and evaluating alternative trading strategies is discussed. Solon, (2015) opined that bonds are the most important type of fixed-income security for investment. Bonds are usually analyzed by computing the Yield to Maturity (YTM), which is the interest rate that
