Bonds target retail investors

Savings bonds worth a total of Bt3 billion will be available for retail investors next week, Chakkrit Parpuntakul, director-general of the Public Debt Management Office, said yesterday.

 

Minimum investment is Bt1,000 and maximum is Bt1 million. The coupon rate for the three-year bond is 3.75 per cent per annum.
He said the office would join the Money Expo in Chiang Mai from November 18-20. The office aims to promote a new channel for sale of savings bonds via Krung Thai Bank’s ATMs.
