The Salomon Smith Barney World Government Bond Index is a market capitalization weighted bond index consisting of the government bond markets of the following countries:
- Australia
- Austria
- Belgium
- Canada
- Denmark
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Italy
- Japan
- Netherlands
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- United Kingdom

Country eligibility is determined based upon market capitalization and investability criteria. The index includes all fixed-rate bonds with a remaining maturity of one year or longer and with amounts outstanding of at least the equivalent of US$25 million. Government securities typically exclude floating or variable rate bonds, US/Canadian savings bonds and private placements. It is not possible to invest directly in such an index.
