Bangkok--10 Aug--BBL Bangkok Bank is distributing the eleventh tranche of three-year government savings bonds worth 500 million baht, at an interest rate of 3.75 percent per annum. The bonds are issued by the Public Debt Management Office of the Ministry of Finance and will be made available to the public via Bangkok Bank’s nationwide branch network (excluding Micro branches) from August 15-24. The first ten tranches of government savings bonds offered from October 2006 to July 2007 received strong public interest and quickly sold out. After this offer, Bangkok Bank will be distributing the final tranche, of a total of twelve, in September 2007. The bonds are offered for sale for eight working days each month, starting from the 15th day of each month. The interest rate to be offered will be announced two days prior to the date of sale. The rate will be based on the average yield of three-year government bonds during the five working days prior to the date of fixing the interest rate, and a spread of not more than 15 percent will be added on top of the average rate. Interest on the bonds will be paid twice a year, and the bonds will mature three years after the date of sale (October 15, 2009-September 15, 2010). Investors interested in these bonds can contact a Bangkok Bank branch or find further information at www.bangkokbank.com.
