Bulgaria issued the ten-year interest-bearing and thirty-year interest-bearing government bonds in the right moment. Other countries did it earlier and will have to pay higher interest rates on their government bonds. Bulgaria has to pay 0.4% interest on its ten-year interest-bearing bonds and 1.4% interest on its thirty-year interest-bearing government bonds, which is under inflation levels. It means that we are to pay a negative interest rate on a thirty-year interest bearing bonds, or in other words, confidence in Bulgaria is high, Georgi Angelov, Senior Economist at the Open Society Institute commented for Bloomberg TV.

Government bond yield is comparable to bond yield in countries with higher credit rating than Bulgaria, this country’s Minister of Finance told BNR after Bulgaria issued the new external debt.
