Q & A

What is a bond (obligasi) as explained in the video?

A bond is a debt security, meaning it’s essentially a loan given by an investor to a borrower (typically the government or corporations). In return, the issuer promises to pay back the loan at a later date (maturity) along with interest.

Why would the government issue bonds?

The government may issue bonds to raise funds when revenue from taxes, non-tax sources, or grants isn't sufficient to cover national spending. Bonds allow the government to borrow money from the public.

Who can buy government bonds?

Both individual investors and institutions like asset management firms or insurance companies can buy government bonds.

What are the four types of government bonds mentioned in the video?

The four types of government bonds are: Saving Bond Retail (SBR), Obligasi Ritel Indonesia (ORI), Sukuk Tabungan (ST), and Sukuk Negara Ritel (Sukri).

What is the difference between conventional and sharia-compliant bonds?

Conventional bonds (like SBR and ORI) follow standard financial principles, while sharia-compliant bonds (like ST and Sukri) adhere to Islamic finance principles, avoiding interest (riba) and speculative activities (gharar).

Can government bonds be traded on the secondary market?

Only ORI and Sukri can be traded on the secondary market, meaning they can be sold to other investors. SBR and ST must be held until maturity but may offer early redemption options for up to 50% of the total holding.

What is the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate bonds?

Fixed-rate bonds (like ORI and Sukri) have a set interest rate for their entire term, while floating-rate bonds (like SBR and ST) have interest rates that can fluctuate based on market conditions, with a guaranteed minimum rate.

How can you purchase government bonds?

Bonds can be purchased either during the offering period through authorized distributors (such as banks or fintech platforms) or, in the case of ORI and Sukri, on the secondary market after the offering period.

What are the benefits of purchasing bonds during periods of economic uncertainty?

Bonds are generally considered a safer investment during periods of economic slowdown and uncertainty, as they provide fixed or predictable returns and are backed by the government or established companies.

What should investors consider before buying bonds?

Investors should consider the bond’s maturity date, the type of bond (conventional vs. sharia-compliant), whether the bond can be traded on the secondary market, and the expected return (fixed vs. floating rate).
