A total of VND4 trillion worth of bonds was up for auction, including 10-year and 15-year bonds valued at VND1.5 trillion each and five-year and 20-year bonds valued at VND500 billion each.
Some VND90 billion was mobilised from five-year bonds with an annual interest rate of 2.2%, up 0.4% from the previous auction on January 8.
All the 10-year and 15-year bonds were sold for VND1.5 trillion each with annual interest rates of 2.63% and 2.93%, respectively, up 0.13% and 0.08% against auctions on April 29.
There were no successful bids for the 20-year G-bonds.
G-bond interest rates on all terms have increased slightly since the beginning of March.
Interest rates were expected to keep heading upwards as the Government needed more funds to finance its socioeconomic development activities and support businesses and citizens hit hard by COVID-19, according to MB Securities.
“The demand for money will push the Government to raise bond yield rates to attract more investors,” it wrote in a report. “If rates do not improve, the ratio of sold-out bids will remain low.”
G-bond interest rates for ten-year and 15-year bonds hit record lows of 2.18% and 2.51% per annum in March. The ratio of sold bonds in March was equal to only 6% of the amount offered.
The State Treasury has raised over VND39.14 trillion from G-bonds this year and expects a total of VND300 trillion to be sold by the end of the year.
