Bond funds are still a viable solution for those who want to save efficiently. 

In an unprecedented coordination, the monetary easing measures are being taken by the Central Banks around the world and we expect that such measures will soon come from NBR and will take effect in the next period. Thus, OTP Bonds, OTP Euro Bonds or OTP Dollar Bonds still offer higher yields for traditional medium- and long-term savings products.
