The Btp Valore returns on Monday, yields up to 3.50%
The new Btp Valore is set to return to the market from March 2 to March 6, with a focus on Italian savings and offering yields up to 3.50%.
The new Btp Valore is preparing to return to the market starting Monday, March 2, through Friday, March 6, with the possibility of early closure. This marks the sixth issuance of the bond exclusively for retail clients, with a minimum lot size of 1,000 euros and a duration of six years. This initiative has strengthened the bond between the State and families in Italy, as demonstrated by the significant figures; previous issuances have raised a total of 81.5 billion euros, with a record of 18.3 billion euros noted in March 2024.
The Ministry of Economy recently announced that the minimum guaranteed coupon rates will be 2.50% for the first and second years, 2.80% for the third and fourth years, and 3.50% for the fifth and sixth years. It also clarified that the final yields could be confirmed or revised upwards at the conclusion of the allotment. This mechanism, known as the step-up, features increasing quarterly coupons that offer a favorable structure for investors over time.
The Btp Valore is particularly appealing to Italian savers looking for secure investment opportunities with guaranteed returns. Given the previous success of the bond with substantial financial inflows, this upcoming issuance is expected to attract significant interest, reinforcing the trend of retail investment in government bonds as a means of saving and securing financial stability for families.
