Earlier such issues were quarterly. According to the Ministry of Finance, this change gives investors (individuals) an opportunity to participate in trades with GS on a permanent basis and more flexibility in managing their financial resources. During the second quarter of 2025, three issuances of SS placements are planned: April 21-30, May 19-28 and June 16-25.
The second change is that the maturities of SS will be diversified. Along with the existing 2-year fixed rate bonds, 3-year fixed rate securities will be offered for the first time in April. The issue volume and rates will be announced by the Ministry of Finance 10-7 days before the start of the issue.
