Hi, I invested a hundred thousand last year 12/2017. The offer of BoT is that the RTBs will mature 5 years after C.Y. 2017. I just want to know if I can get back the money I invested in RTBs prior maturity date? will there be penalties for doing the same?

September 3, 2018 Dear Justin Paolo Picpic, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Aug 20, 2018 02:19:43 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your Request You asked for Retail Treasury Bonds. Response to Request Regarding terminating (or liquidating) your RTB investment, RTBs are fixed-term obligations of the National Government and are thus redeemed upon full maturity unless there is an outstanding offer for a buy back. To liquidate prior to maturity, holders can sell their holdings through the secondary market through the assistance of a broker. This may be subject to fees adding to the fact that the selling/buying price may be different from the original investment based on current market conditions. For further queries, you may proceed to your bank to inquire on how to sell your RTBs. Your right to request a review If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Deputy Treasurer Sharon P.
