Britain may launch new 5- and 30-year bonds in July-September

LONDON: British government bond dealers and investors recommended that the country's debt agency launch a new 5-year and a new 30-year bond between July and September, minutes from meetings between the two showed on Tuesday.

They also suggested that the UK Debt Management Office's bond syndication for the quarter should be of the 0.125 percent index-linked gilt maturing in 2065, with support split between a July and a September sale.

The debt agency said it would sell eight conventional gilts and three index-linked gilts via auction in the July-September period.
