Of which, 49.74 per cent were 10-year bonds while the remainder were 15-year bonds, with respective interest rates of 4.36 per cent and 4.56 per cent. The rates are down 29 and 24 basis points from the previous auction.
On the secondary market, the trading value of G-bonds during the month reached over VND65.79 trillion, down 9.48 per cent month-on-month, with outright transaction value accounting for 53.74 per cent. The rest was traded via repurchase agreements. — VNS
