What has happened?
Change in the yield curve shape (from hump in shorter than 1-year to normal shape)
Steepened yield curve has been observed since the first announcement of the SP1. After that, the curve was upward parallel shifted.
21
What will be in the future?
It is expected to observe the increase in policy rate by Q2/2010.
The liquidity of secondary market might not speed up rapidly like it was in 2007 and 2008. More supply ---> positive effect Increasing yield ---> negative effect
22
What will be in the future?
Benchmark, yield curve will be better estimated. Private sector will benefit from the clearer benchmarks.
There will be more risk-management instrument in the market. TFEX is going to launch interest rate futures by 2010.
23
What should be prepared?
The supporting functions in bond market must be improved, i.e. the CRA, credit enhancement mechanism.
Tactfully add more players in the bond market. Government securities might be more used as vehicle in liquidity management for private sector.
24
What should be prepared?
If less interest rate volatility is observed, it is expected to see more issuance of long term government securities.
The market will be deeper. ILB, FRB will be issued more.
Retail investor may be able to access bond market easier.
