FG offers two savings bonds for subscription at N1,000 per unit
The Debt Management Office (DMO), on behalf of the federal government, has offered two savings bonds for subscription at N1,000 per unit.
According to a statement by the DMO on Monday in Abuja, the first offer is a two-year FGN savings bond due on June 11, 2027, at an interest rate of 16.121 per cent per annum.
The second offer is a three-year FGN savings bond due on June 11, 2028, at an interest rate of 17.121 per cent per annum.
“Offer opens on June 2 and closes on June 6; the settlement date is June 11, while coupon payment dates are September 11, December 11, March 11 and June 11.
“They are offered at N1,000 per unit, with a minimum subscription of N5,000 and in multiples of N1,000 thereafter, subject to a maximum subscription of N50 million.
“Interest is payable quarterly while bullet repayment (principal sum) is on maturity,” it said.
It assured that FGN savings bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the FGN and charged upon the general assets of Nigeria.
“They qualify as securities where trustees can invest under the Trustee Investment Act.
“They qualify as government securities within the meaning of the Company Income Tax Act and Personal Income Tax Act for tax exemption for pension funds amongst other investors.
“They are listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited and qualify as liquid assets for liquidity ratio calculation for banks,” it said.
FGN savings bonds are a government-backed security issued by the DMO on behalf of the federal government.
They are designed to provide a safe and accessible investment opportunity for individuals and small-scale investors.
They are considered one of the safest investments in Nigeria because there is virtually no default risk.
They offer fixed interest rates, providing predictable returns. Unlike general FGN bonds, which often have high minimum subscription amounts, FGN savings bonds are tailored for retail investors, allowing for lower entry barriers.
The government uses the funds raised from these bonds to finance various projects and budget deficits.
