FinMin: Another Issue of Government Bonds for Public to Be Floated in Two Weeks

Bratislava, 16 February (TASR) - The public will once again be able to purchase government bonds intended for ordinary people in two week's time, as of Monday, 2 March, the Finance Ministry has announced on a social network. The Finance Ministry, along with the Debt and Liquidity Management Agency (ARDAL), will float two types of government securities on the market. "The sale of the bonds follows the previous strong public interest in purchasing them. Government bonds will be on sale from 2 to 20 March 2026," said the ministry. A pilot issue of bonds for the public was floated at the same time last year and sold out within just a few days. Two kinds of bonds will be available this year as well: Investor II, with a two-year maturity and a 2.7-percent yield p.a.; and Patriot II, with a four-year maturity and a 3-percent yield p.a. "Both kinds of bonds will be offered at the same volume, namely €200 million each, with the option to increase the issue by an additional €100 million. The minimum nominal value of one bond will be €1,000," said the Finance Ministry. ko/df
