What is an Issuer in Financial Markets?

In the context of financial markets, an issuer is a company or organization that creates and sells securities (such as stocks or bonds) to raise capital. The term "issuant" refers to the act of issuing these securities.

For example, if a company wants to raise money to fund a new project, it may issue shares of its stock to investors. In this case, the company is the issuer and the shares are the securities being issued. The investors who buy these shares become shareholders of the company.

The term "issuant" can also be used more broadly to refer to any entity that issues a security or other financial instrument, such as a government agency issuing bonds to finance a infrastructure project.
