Treasury notes are issued in two series: “A” and “B”. The issuance volume of each series totals USD 100 million. Treasury notes of next series are placed after the sale of the previous one. The redemption of a Treasury note or repayment of the face value of the Treasury bill (USD 500) to the holder will be made at the offices of Oschadbank PJSC starting from the second day after Treasury notes reach the maturity date.
