Barclays Capital has pulled away from the competition to become the busiest bookrunner in the global bond markets by some margin this week.

The UK bank has worked on 21 new bonds internationally issued since Monday, totalling $7.75bn, according to Dealogic. This has given the bank a 10.5% markest share of deal volume. JP Morgan occupies the number two spot with 14 deals worth $6.02bn and a market share of 8.2%.
