TYPICAL OBJECTS OF TYPE Issuer

PUBLIC issuer

</defs>

This type represents the company or the sovereign institution that borrows funds by selling securities such as notes or stocks.
Apart from the actual existing issuers in the real economy, like Google or Microsoft, Issuer also allows the creation and usage of so called "custom issuers" with user-defined names.

Note, you may create a trivial object of type Issuer directly through a text entry that has the form: "%identifier", where identifier follows these rules:
Format 1: "ticker|country|I", for example "MSFT|US|I"
Format 2: "PUBLIC|country", for example "PUBLIC|US"
Custom entries are also allowed, such as: "a|b|I", where a, b stand for a custom ticker and country respectively.

Exceptionally, the reserved handle names%Riskless Issuer and %Risky Issuer can be used to denote a generic riskless and risky issuer respectively.
The latter choice is very common in defining the key Issuer in objects of type Yield Curve
