22 May, Fineko/abc.az. The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Azerbaijan will hold an auction for the placement of government bonds on May 26. For the first time, the upcoming auction will feature bonds with a maturity period of 10 years.

ABC.AZ reports that the auction will take place through the placement of bonds on the Baku Stock Exchange. The issuance brought to the auction consists of long-term government bonds with a 7% coupon rate. The nominal value of the securities is 100 manats, and the total volume reaches 2 million units (200 million manats). The circulation period of the bonds will be 3,600 days, or 10 years.

Until now, the Ministry of Finance had issued bonds with a maximum maturity of 7 years. Following the leadership change at the State Treasury, the Ministry has demonstrated lower activity on the local stock market compared to previous years. For instance, no government bonds were placed during the first 8 months of 2025. This year marks the first time a bond issuance is being carried out. Instead, since last year, the Ministry has assumed a depositor position and started placing deposits in five major banks.

The 10-year government bonds are considered one of the most standard and essential long-term government debt instruments. Globally, these instruments are accepted as benchmarks and serve as a key indicator in evaluating financial and fiscal policies.
