Detailed explanation-1: -Public sector banks largely issue tier I bonds, private lenders preferred Tier II bonds (as Tier I is costlier than Tier II) and both issued infrastructure bonds. Within overall bond issuances of Rs 91, 500 crore in nine months of FY23, Tier-II issuance reached an all-time high of Rs 47, 200 crore.
Detailed explanation-2: -By buying a bond, you’re giving the issuer a loan, and they agree to pay you back the face value of the loan on a specific date, and to pay you periodic interest payments along the way, usually twice a year. Unlike stocks, bonds issued by companies give you no ownership rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -Commercial banks, like other business entities, too have liquidity needs. They issue bonds to get more capital to invest money.
Detailed explanation-4: -A medium-term note (MTN) is a note that usually matures in five to 10 years.
