A total of VNĐ4.3 trillion (US$187.9 million) worth of bonds were sold at the transaction out of the VNĐ6 trillion offered, including VNĐ100 billion in five-year bonds with an annual interest rate of 3.1 per cent, representing a 0.1 per cent increase from the interest rate fetched at the previous auction on May 23.

Interest rates on government bonds have been on the rise lately, after a long period of decline throughout 2017 and the first four months of 2018. The National Financial Supervisory Commission has predicted that the G-bond market in 2018 will see modest changes against last year thanks to economic growth of more than 6.7 per cent and inflation of below 4 per cent.
The value of G-bonds issued in 2018 is estimated at some VNĐ180 trillion ($7.92 billion), with the focus being on long-term maturity and keeping interest rates low. – VNS
