OpenFIGI Global Government Bonds
Government Bonds are debt securities issued by national governments to finance their operations and projects. These bonds are typically considered to be low-risk investments, as they are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing government. Because of this, they generally offer lower yields than other fixed income securities. Government Bonds are also used as a benchmark for other fixed income investments, as they are often considered to be a "risk-free" asset.
