What is issuance and outstanding amounts?
Issuance measures new securities brought to market in a period, while outstanding amounts measure the cumulative stock still trading - the flow-versus-stock pair that structures most capital markets statistics.
BIS reports both for debt securities by sector and maturity, SIFMA by US asset class, and WFE as IPOs and capital raised per exchange.

Why does issuance and outstanding amounts matter when choosing a dataset?
Conventions decide whether two sources can be joined at all. Buy one side of an analysis that ignores this convention and every reconciliation step — calendar alignment, unit conversion, entity matching — lands on your team instead of the vendor's.
The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.
You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and BIS Debt Securities and Capital Markets Statistics - lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
