Savings bonds
On June 19, 2013 the Treasury launched first savings bonds intended for individuals
The goal of issuing saving bonds is to provide Latvian residents with additional investment opportunities as well as a possibility to lend to the government and to contribute to economic growth.
First distribution channel is launched via an internet based online portal, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The internet based online portal is held by the Nasdaq CSD. All individuals having cash account with a Latvian commercial bank with online access to the Internet bank and who have reached the age of 18, are eligible for purchase of saving bonds. The records of individual saving bonds holdings are held by the Nasdaq CSD, which provides also settlements for investors and reporting to the Treasury.
