Abstract:
This paper explores the cautious behavior of domestic investors towards the latest government bond namely Viti bonds that was launched in 2012. The authors provide a pioneering analysis of Viti bonds to examine the potential attractiveness of Viti bonds over savings deposits and time deposits held in commercial banks. With the limited data, this study utilizes descriptive analysis and future value simulation analysis to assess optimal investment options. Captivatingly, domestic investors are unenthusiastic to engage in trading of Viti bonds. This research signifies the importance of lower trading denomination of bonds, accessibility of trading bonds via domestic commercial banks, massive marketing campaign and strengthening financial awareness prior to diversifying the capital market.
