THE GOVERNMENT is looking to raise less from its planned retail Treasury bond (RTB) offering than in its previous sale amid elevated interest rates.
“We are not going to raise the usual volume that we’ve been raising in the past for this RTB. Definitely lower. We are not looking for a big volume for this one,” National Treasurer Sharon P. Almanza told reporters on Tuesday, adding that they will seek to raise less than half of their last issuance.
The government raised P507.16 billion from five-year notes in its last RTB issuance in August 2025. That was also the first time that RTBs were made available on GCash’s GBonds platform.
