in new Retail Treasury Bonds offering

By Elvira C. Bongosia

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol—The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) is encouraging Filipinos to invest in its latest Retail Treasury Bonds (RTB) offering, which provides a safe way to save money while helping fund national development projects.

The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) recently introduced the 31st tranche of Retail Treasury Bonds (RTB 31). Chloe Redeja, chief treasury operations Officer II of BTr-Bohol, said the initiative aligns with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to making saving and investing accessible to every Filipino.

“This fulfills the promise of President Marcos Jr.’s administration to provide an opportunity for every Filipino to save and invest for their own future while contributing to the country’s growth,” Redeja said.

The RTB 31 has a five-year term, with a gross interest rate of 6% per annum, paid quarterly until maturity on Aug. 20, 2030.

The public offering period runs from Aug. 5 to 15, 2025.

With a minimum investment of just P5,000, RTBs are accessible and virtually risk-free, backed by the full financial capacity of the Philippine government.

Filipinos, both local and abroad, can take advantage of RTBs to improve their financial standing and support public programs aimed at inclusive growth.

Redeja emphasized that RTBs are accessible not only over the counter and through online banking but also via GBonds on GCash, in partnership with the Philippine Digital Asset Exchange (PDAX) and Bonds.ph.

This platform allows fully verified users to invest in government bonds for as little as P500 without the need for a bank account. (ECB/PIA7-Bohol)
