• Thailand’s Inaugural ILB issued by MOF will conform with international ILB standards and conventions. This allows investors to compare valuations more easily (UK recently shifted the majority of supply into 3mth lag index-linked gilts).

• Inflation floors offer advantage for investors in times of deflation. Thai ILB approach to inflation floor conforms with international standards.

Next Step: Enhance ILB liquidity

��Develop regular Annual Auction plan (auction every quarter or 6 times a year)

��Top-up the existing tenor to enhance more liquidity

��Issue other Benchmark tenors (3-, 5- and 7-year ILBs)

��Develop Benchmark Real Rate Yield Curve

��Maintain portion of successful bid in ILB primary market

��Maintain portion of ILB trading in secondary market

��Provide firm bid/ask spreads in secondary market

��Encourage SOEs and private sector to issue ILBs

��Cooperate with mutual funds to issue the ILB-related funds

��Allow dealers to develop inflation-related products (e.g. Inflation Derivative)
