Belgium will issue two new State bonds on 4 June, the Federal Debt Agency announced. One will have a maturity of one year, the other of eight.
The coupons for the two bonds will be announced next Wednesday 22 May, and people can subscribe to them through an investment institution from Friday 24 May until Monday 3 June. Through the Ledgers service, people will have until Friday 31 May to sign up.
Both bonds will be subject (like the latest ones were as well) to the usual withholding tax of 30% – and not 15% as was the case for the special State bonds issued last summer, confirmed the spokesperson for the Debt Agency.
