Államkötvényeket

Államkötvényeket, or government bonds, are debt securities issued by a national government. When an investor purchases an államkötvény, they are essentially lending money to the government. In return, the government promises to pay the bondholder a specific amount of interest over a set period, and then repay the principal amount of the loan on a maturity date. These instruments are a common way for governments to finance their operations, infrastructure projects, or to cover budget deficits.

Államkötvényeket are generally considered to be among the safest investments because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing government. However, the level of risk can still vary depending on the financial stability and creditworthiness of the country. Different types of államkötvényeket exist, varying in maturity (short-term, medium-term, and long-term), interest rate structures (fixed-rate or variable-rate), and features. For investors, államkötvényeket can offer a relatively stable income stream and a way to preserve capital, though their yields are typically lower than those of riskier investments. The market for government bonds is global, with many countries issuing their debt in different currencies.
