Brief Description

Global Peso Notes are issued by the Republic of the Philippines to provide the market with a Bond that capitalizes on the strength of the PhP against USD.

These are direct, unconditional obligations of the Republic of the Philippines to pay the prevailing USD equivalent of the nominal PhP amount from the computed semi-annual coupon interest and bullet principal. They are effectively PhP-denominated Bonds with settlement in USD at the prevailing USD / PhP rate.
