TL;DR
- Bond issuance is an alternative for governments to obtain resources when income does not cover expenses.
- Types of bonds include internal (local currency) and external (foreign currency).
- Investors lend money to the state in exchange for capital plus agreed-upon future interest payments.
- Governments use these funds to cover deficits and finance public projects or needs.
- Bonds have varying maturity terms, commonly 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 years, or longer.
- Treasury Bills (TES) are a specific type of bond, not a distinct mechanism.
- TES typically focus on financing the state with specific terms (pesos, UVR, dollars), while corporate or global bonds are broader in issuers and currencies.
