The Belgian Debt Agency provides the public with information on the secondary market in linear bonds, split securities (strips) and Treasury certificates by publishing the reference rates and prices determined by it and the volumes reported via the Harmonized Reporting Format. A constant-maturity yield curve is also calculated every day.
On the basis of this yield curve, reference indices for variable-rate mortgage loans are monthly computed and published by the Agency.
1. Reference rates and prices
Reference prices (linear bonds) and reference rates (strips and Treasury certificates) are published in principle every working day. These are recorded around 2.30 p.m. and published each day around 3 p.m. As no transaction is concluded at these rates and prices, they only give an indication. Publications will take place daily except when Target or Brussels is closed or when e-trading platforms are closed (24/12 and 31/12).

2. Volumes
Statistics on secondary market activity are reported by the Primary Dealers using a format developed by the different Debt Management Offices within the EFC Sub-Committee on EU Sovereign Debt Markets of the European Union, in cooperation with the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME). This so-called Harmonized Reporting Format aims to simplify, improve, and harmonize the reporting of Primary Dealer activities across the EU.
