The subscription for the 11th batch of silver bonds issued by the HKSAR Government ended on September 4. Both the number of subscribers and the subscription amount reached record highs. According to preliminary data released by a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the number of bank bond subscribers this time was about 478,000, and the subscription amount was about HK$11.77 billion, an increase of about 28% and 22% respectively over the previous batch of bank bonds issued in 2025. According to public information, the guaranteed annualized yield of this batch of bank bonds is 4.25%, with a term of 3 years. Dividends are paid every six months, HK$10,000 per lot, and the target issuance amount is HK$50 billion, which can be increased to an upper limit of HK$55 billion depending on the subscription response. Since guaranteed interest rates are significantly higher than most Hong Kong dollar time deposit interest rates on the market, and bank bonds have characteristics such as government guarantees, principal guarantees, and stable dividends, they are very attractive to older investors seeking steady returns. A spokesman for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government said that in view of the popularity of bank bonds among the elderly, the final issuance amount is expected to increase from HK$50 billion to a maximum limit of HK$55 billion. The HKSAR Government plans to announce the allotment results on September 11 and officially release them on September 15.
