BTR to public: Invest in Retail Treasury Bond
>> Thursday, December 9, 2021
BAGUIO CITY --The Bureau of Treasury, in partnership with
the Development Bank of the Philippines and Land Bank of the Philippines,
brought their information caravan here last week to invite folks to invest in
Retail Treasury Bond Tranche 26.
The RTB 26, which is negotiable and transferrable, was issued Dec. 2.
It offers investors a minimum investment of P5, 000 and in multiples of P5,000 thereafter with interest rate of 4.625 percent per annum.
RTBs are low risk investment instruments issued by the national government through the Bureau of Treasury (BTr) to raise funds for the country’s priority projects nationwide.
For RTB 26, its proceeds will also finance the government’s expenditures in supporting sectors most affected by Covid-19 and enhancing the country’s response against the pandemic.
National Treasurer of the Philippines Rosalia De Leon, in a media interview, said more Filipinos including those overseas are now investing in retail treasury bonds as the BTr is continuously bringing in innovation and creativity such as online platforms and applications to reach out to more investors.
RTBs can now be easily accessed by overseas Filipinos in over 50 countries, she said.
De Leon said for RTB 26, Filipino investors not only can do their share in nation-building but can also help in recovery efforts of that national government against Covid-19.
“Sa Retail Treasury Bond na ito is also one way na nakikita natin for small investors like you and me na makatulong sa ating recovery efforts. Just like in any RTB issuance where we can contribute our share in nation building, we are also contributing our share to the recovery efforts of the national government,” De Leon said.
