Finance Ministry looks into issuing inflation-indexed long-term bonds

The Finance Ministry is considering issuing long-term inflation-indexed treasury bonds by the end of the year. "[Investors around] the world are increasingly interested in inflation-indexed bonds and we are considering such an instrument as well," Anna Suszynska, deputy head of the Ministry's public debt department, told Reuters. She added that the Ministry will hold talks on the bond issue with investors in the next few weeks. The inflation-indexed bonds would have a maturity of at least 10 years and would be aimed primarily at pension funds. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 2) T.J.
