Finding Brazilian Debenture Issuance Data and Downloadable Records

Summary

The document answers a request for a free way to look up corporate bond issues by issuer and maturity, with a focus on public issues by Rio de Janeiro. It points to Brazilian debenture listings and explains that a downloadable CSV provides issue records and their available data fields. This offers a practical starting point for identifying Brazilian corporate debt issues.

The answer also cautions that listings do not imply an active secondary market: some debentures may have been purchased at issuance and held to maturity. The information is specific to Brazil and debentures, and does not establish that similar free, comprehensive databases exist for other countries. It does not discuss data coverage, update frequency, or how to verify individual records, so users should treat it as a source pointer rather than a full guide to bond research.

Key ideas

• Brazilian debenture listings can be searched and downloaded as issue data.
• The downloadable records include multiple debenture data fields in CSV form.
• A listed bond issue may have no active secondary market.
• The answer concerns Brazilian debentures and does not generalize to other countries.

Does anyone know of any website where I can obtain corporate bond's data in the same fashion as "cbonds" (they let you look up by issuer, maturity, etc.). Ideally free?

I need to know bond issues by Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Thanks.

In general - for other countries - of course not.

But in case of Brazil, you are lucky. Brazil is more advanced than most other countries in this regard. All the debentures are exchange-listed and easy to find. You can see all the debentures, for example, on https://data.anbima.com.br/debentures or http://www.debentures.com.br/exploreosnd/consultaadados/emissoesdedebentures/caracteristicas_r.asp?tip_deb=publicas&op_exc=todos

Notes:

The "download" link at the bottom of the debentures page will give you all the debentures and all the data fields in .csv format.

Some of these debentures have no secondary market. Someone buys everything at the time of origination and holds to maturity.
