At the same time, it will implement debt restructuring through the Government bond swap according to the approved plan.

The State Treasury will actively manage the volume of issued Government bonds in line with market conditions, meeting the needs of repayment of Government’s loan principals and complying with the disbursement schedule of investment capital construction. Specifically, the State Treasury will closely follow State budget revenue and expenditure, disbursement progress of investment capital, repayment plan of loan principals and market situation; continue to manage the budget, ensuring the payment and repayment needs of the State budget and transaction units with the State Treasury.

At the same time, the State Treasury will diversify bond terms, focusing on issuing bonds with a five-year term or more, and speeding up issuance of long-term bond (from 10 years or more) to restructure the Government bond debt portfolio. The State Treasury will manage bond interest rates flexibly and reasonably and closely with the market, and take advantage of favourable market conditions to issue long-term bonds at low interest rates. In case of unfavorable market conditions, the State Treasury will issue two Government bond with 2 - 3 year term under the guaranteed volume within allowed time limit by the National Assembly.

The State Treasury will also manage the bond interest rate reasonably in line with the direction of monetary policy to stabilise the market, save costs for the budget; conduct debt restructuring through government bond swap after the Prime Minister approves the 2020 debt repayment plan and domestic debt restructuring scheme for the period 2020-2021.
