See RTHK:Fourth iBonds out next week
And http://www.hkgb.gov.hk/en/overview/introduction.htmlApplications for the government's inflation-linked bonds will open next Wednesday.
It's the fourth issue of iBonds since they were introduced in 2011 to help preserve the value of bank deposits amid low interest rates.
Each lot will cost HK$10,000 and the minimum rate of interest will be one percent.
An executive director of the Monetary Authority, Howard Lee, hopes latest issue would be well-received by the public.
But he added investors may consider other factors before purchasing them.
Are they a good deal?
When they say 'inflation linked' and 'the minimum rate of interest will be one percent', does that mean you will be getting inflation (around 3.7%) and 1% meaning an overall rate of 4.7%?
