Jakarta (VNA) - The Indonesian Government, through the Ministry of Finance, issued global government bonds (SUN) in two foreign currencies (dual-currency) - the USD dollar and the euro, in an SEC-registered format.

From the issuance of the US dollar-denominated SUN, the government raised 1.85 billion USD, or 30.6 trillion Rp. Meanwhile, from the euro-denominated bonds, the country raised 600 million EUR, or 11.5 trillion IDR.

This transaction marks the Indonesian Government's successful issuance of SEC-registered global bonds for the seventeenth time, read an announcement on the official website of the Directorate General of Financing and Risk Management at the Ministry of Finance on October 12.

Three series of global government bonds were issued: RI0431 with a 5.5-year tenor and maturity on April 16, 2031. The nominal value of this series was 600 million USD with a yield of 4.35%.
