The new 20-year benchmark bond will be the fifth, at the same time the longest benchmark bond in addition to the present three-, five-, 10 and 15-year ones.

ÁKK also calculates and publishes daily three-, six- and twelve months benchmark rates.

ÁKK schedules to auction its first 20-year bond on January 16, and plans to auction them in every eight weeks. It will be displayed among benchmarks from the second auction.

The 2041 bond will have a fixed rate and will expire on April 25, 2041.

In a parallel move, the debt manager will create a new long-term bond index under the name HMAX which will include bonds with a term in excess of three years.
