43. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the total amount of ten-year national solidarity bonds, five-year saving certificates, three-year savings bonds and prize bonds in circulation each year since 2015; the total value of year each year; the annual interest repayment for each category of bond each year, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21471/25]
View answerThe National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) has supplied me with the table below which shows the total amount of 10 Year National Solidarity Bonds, 5 Year Savings Certificates, 3 Year Savings Bonds and Prize Bonds in circulation since 2015 and annual interest repayment for each category of bond each year.
Interest repayment includes interest paid to customers because of products maturing or early encashment. For Prize Bonds, the annual interest repayment is the Prize Fund paid to customers and this has been included in the table.
