China to issue more 50-year bonds for 2011

The bonds are likely to be floated in November, the sources said.

The ministry floated its first batch of 50-year bonds this year worth 30 billion yuan ($4.7 billion) in May, but demand at that time appeared poor with the yield much higher at auction than the market had expected.

The ministry started to issue the super long-term bonds in 2009. It issued two batches of such bonds in 2010.
