MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang is urging the public to consider investing in Retail Treasury Bonds (RTBs), a low-barrier government investment option that yields guaranteed returns while funding key national infrastructure and social programs.
With a minimum entry amount of ₱5,000, RTBs allow everyday citizens to safely build their savings and directly support public initiatives in education, healthcare, small business assistance, and job creation.
Communications Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro highlighted the accessibility and purpose of the debt securities during a press briefing.
“Ginawa po ito ng gobyerno para sa ordinaryong Pilipino, sa empleyado, sa maliliit na negosyante at sa pamilyang gustong palaguin ang kanilang pinaghirapang ipon,” Castro said.
The current issuance, RTB 32, offers an annual fixed interest rate of 6.875% over a 2.5-year tenor, outperforming traditional savings and time deposit yields.
To streamline access, the government has enabled subscriptions through authorized agent banks, mobile banking applications, and popular e-wallets. The public offering period runs from September 29 to October 7, with settlement set for October 12.
Further details and the complete directory of authorized distribution partners are available on the Bureau of the Treasury website at www.treasury.gov.ph.
