Inflation-Indexed Bond (IIB) Tenders
IIB tenders are scheduled for the same dates as nominal bond tenders, subject to demand and market conditions. IIB tender details will be announced alongside nominal bond tender announcements.
Further Details
- Tenders are governed by the official Operating Rules and Guidelines. The preference will be to fill tenders according to volumes confirmed on the announcement date, to the extent possible.
- Subject to market conditions, it is expected a new 15 May 2035 nominal bond will be launched, via syndication, by the end of April 2024. Further details, including the syndicate panel, will be announced in subsequent updates. As per usual practice, if the syndication occurs, the tender that is scheduled in the same week will be cancelled.
