definition: Public Debt Offering, also known as Retail Distributions, refer to the sale of non-convertible debt securities directly to individual investors or through channels that cater to non-institutional buyers. This method of distribution makes debt securities accessible to the general public, often in smaller denominations than those typically offered to institutional investors. This process allows governments or corporations to raise capital from a broad base of retail investors, often involving simplified issuance procedures.
