Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally predictable: 'issue' (the act or batch of issuing) combined with 'bond' yields the issuance or batch of bonds for sale. This follows a common noun+noun compound pattern (e.g., emisión de bonos) and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings.
Etymology
Bond issue comes from the old use of issue, which meant to 'send out' or 'offer' something to the public. So a bond issue is a group of bonds sent out to buyers at the same time, which is why it means 'a group of bonds sold together'.
