The National Treasury, through the Asset and Liability Management Division
determines the Prevailing Interest Rates for the two-year, three-year and
five-year RSA Retail Bonds at the end of each month.
The Prevailing Interest Rates of the RSA Retail Bonds are determined by
interpolating the equivalent yields of the two-year, three-year and five-year
Government Bonds.
The Prevailing Interest Rates are priced off the government yield curve and
will be changed if the yields of the RSA Government bonds move (negatively or
positively) by more than 50 basis points.
The Prevailing Interest Rates are applicable from the first day of the month
(1 May 2006) until the last day of the month (31 May 2006).
The prevailing interest rates for the month of May 2006 are as
follows:
* 2-year Retail Bond: 7.25%
* 3-year Retail Bond: 7.50%
* 5-year Retail Bond: 7.75%
