Vietnam Bank Fails to Sell VND1T G-bonds

4:13:50 PM | 6/30/2009

The state-run Vietnam Development Bank (VDB) was unable to sell any of the VND1 trillion (US$59.03 million) worth of government bonds offered at an auction on the Hanoi Stock Exchange on June 26.
 
The sum included VND500 billion worth of two-year and ten-year bonds.
 
Three bidders sought to buy VND300 billion worth of two-year bonds at a yield of at least 9 per cent, versus the ceiling rate of 8.7 per cent offered by the bank.
 
Two investors wanted to take VND58 billion in 10-year debts at an annual coupon of at least 9.4 per cent, higher than the offered rate of 9.2 per cent, the Hanoi exchange said in a statement.
 
The VDB has failed to sell any g-bonds since the beginning of this year. (www.hnx.vn) )
