Pakistan Investment Bond
Pakistan Investment Bond (PIB), formerly known as Federal Investment Bond, is a government-issued debt security of Pakistan with maturity exceeding one year.[1][2]
History
Pakistan Investment Bond was launched in 1992 as a Federal Investment Bond.[3][4]
In December 2001, the Government of Pakistan introduced Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), replacing Federal Investment Bonds, with maturities of three, five, and ten years.[5][6] The primary purpose of these scripless bonds was to establish a long-term yield curve to assist corporate entities in pricing their debt instruments.[5] These scripless bonds carry a fixed coupon rate, while their yields are determined by market supply and demand.[5]
By the end of 2001, PIBs had become a benchmark for corporates to price term finance certificates and facilitated secondary market debt raising.[5]
