QUEZON CITY (PIA) -- The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) has launched the 28th tranche of its retail treasury bonds, the government’s first offering under the Marcos administration.

According to Department of Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno retail treasury bonds are safe, low-risk, and affordable investment instruments.

With a minimum investment amount of Php P5,000, retail treasury bonds allow investors to contribute to nation-building while growing their hard-earned savings with better returns. 

Retail treasury bonds have been the strongest performing financial instrument in the Treasury’s portfolio of bond offerings in the last two decades.

Since the first issuance in 2001, the government has raised over P4.37 trillion from these offerings. 

With their consistently strong reception from both local and overseas investors, the retail treasury bonds now account for around 35 percent of BTr’s outstanding government securities. 

For 2022, the government aims to raise P2.2 trillion to enable the economy’s strong and resilient growth. 

In the first half of the year, the government has already raised an estimated P741 billion. 

“I invite you all to invest in the 28th tranche of retail treasury bonds. Your investment is a direct contribution to the development of a truly inclusive, broad-based, and sustainable Philippine economy,” Secretary Diokno said.
