今年的7月1日开始发行了第一期的储蓄国债,10月16日至10月31日是第二期储蓄国债的发行期。许多投资者包括已经购买了第一期储蓄国债的投资者对这种新的国债品种仍然不是十分清楚。其实,到目前为止已经发行了四种类型的国债品种,即实物国债、凭证式国债、记账式国债和储蓄国债。本文主要介绍一下储蓄国债的特点和投资要点,同时也适当将它与其他类型的国债作一些对比。 This year’s July 1 issue of the first issue of savings bonds, October 16 to October 31 is the issue of the second issue of savings bonds. Many investors, including those who have already purchased the first-ever savings bonds, are still not quite sure about the new breed. In fact, so far, four types of treasury bonds have been issued, namely real treasury bonds, voucher treasury bonds, book-entry treasury bonds and savings bonds. This article mainly introduces the features and investment essentials of savings bonds, but also makes some comparisons with other types of government bonds as appropriate.
