The Central Bank of Congo issues a treasury bond of 100 million USD
The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo has opened a Treasury bond market at the local financial level of nearly 100 million US dollars as a loan, read in the press release from the Ministry of Finance received on Saturday at the ACP.
“The government, through the Ministry of Finance, has opened up 100 million US dollars to the financial market.
To this end, bidders interested in this operation for the benefit of the Public Treasury are requested to present themselves at the headquarters of the Central Bank of Congo (BCC) on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 before 11 a.m. local time”, we read in the statement from the Ministry of Finance received Saturday at the ACP.

The redemption date is set for Friday, July 27, 2025.
A Treasury bond is a debt security issued by the State and repayable at maturity.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is the government that issues these debt securities through the channel of the Public Treasury.
When an economic operator or an individual buys a Treasury Bond, he lends money to the State and becomes, in a way, its creditor.
100% guaranteed by the government that issues it, the Treasury Bond is one of the safest investments on the money market.
