The Telecom and Media basket: classified single-name CDS reference entities with at least three priced five-year trades in the month. One row per file month, assembled from per-month slices; the basket spread is the median of the member names' monthly medians. All sectors are on the sector baskets page.

Notional amounts are as publicly disseminated by the swap data repository. A trade larger than the regulatory cap for its asset class is disseminated at the cap value and is flagged in the source data. All notional totals are therefore lower bounds on true traded notional. The share of trades and of disseminated notional that is capped is printed beside each exhibit. Cap thresholds were revised effective 7 October 2024; comparisons across that date partly reflect the change in disclosure, not only in activity.
