At the end of last year, the total volume of savings bonds owned by residents of Latvia amounted to 370.5 million euros, which is 14% more than at the beginning of the year. The largest growth, apparently, occurred in the last months of the year, as in September, the volume of investments was around 320-325 million euros, writes Diena.
According to the State Treasury, in 2025, investments by Latvians in savings bonds exceeded the redemption volume (274 million euros) by almost 50 million euros - people purchased new savings bonds worth 323 million euros. Currently, the number of investors is approaching 7,900 - this is more than in mid-last year (7,500), but less than in the summer of the year before, when more than 7,900 individuals invested in savings bonds.
Traditionally, the most popular are one-year savings bonds, but over the past year, the volume of investments in them has decreased by about 50 million euros. This is compensated by an increase in investments in savings bonds with shorter and longer terms.
In November of last year, the State Treasury added a new type of security with a three-month maturity to the list of savings bonds, which gained significant popularity in a relatively short time. In November and December, the volume of investments in three-month savings bonds reached 22.5 million euros.
