The FT reports that our new private offering of government debt has gone down really well. More details here.
It also notes, however, that we're likely to pay 6.12% interest rate (you read that correctly) on these 5-yr bonds. I guess I can see the attraction.
To put this into perspective, have a look at what I would have to pay on a mortgage in the UK. Yes, you read well again.
