Slovenia Launches New Retail Bonds

A low-risk investment for everyday Slovenians is coming to market again

The Ministry of Finance in Slovenia is preparing a second retail bond issuance this March, following the success of last year’s debut.

In February 2024, nearly 10,000 citizens invested in these bonds, raising €261 million.

This time around, the government is offering a slightly lower interest rate of 2.75% for a three-year maturity, aimed exclusively at individual investors.

As with last year’s edition, the bonds will be sold between March 10 and 21 through local banks (NLB, OTP, and BKS) and the Ilirika brokerage house.

The sale will be followed by trading on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, starting April 1. Each bond package, worth €1,000, can be purchased in multiples, with a maximum of €250,000 per person.

The raised cap is designed to attract a wider pool of investors.

What makes the offer especially attractive is that interest earned on amounts up to €1,000 will remain tax-free, echoing the country’s commitment to fostering financial literacy and diversifying savings opportunities.

As the market responds positively, Slovenia looks set to make retail bonds an even bigger part of its thriving capital market.
