Third IIB tender for 2014 sees new 2030 linkers receive a successful weighted average yield of 3.0116%

The results from the latest inflation indexed bond offer by the Treasury's Debt Management Office have been released.

The coverage ratio was marginally lower than the previous tender in March at 2.225 times and this continues the recent trend which sees the value of bids received gradually declining from 2013 levels.

With the latest CPI number comingĀ  in at 1.6% pa. this would give the IIB's an indication nominal yield of approxinately 4.61%.

The current yield on the NZ government bond with the longest duration (maturing in 2023) is approximately 4.50%
