    Yes, but very low interest.

    Bonds can be issued at a discount to nominal value (it is shares that cannot be).

    So that is why the interest is very low. If you issued $100 bonds at only $60 (a big discount) but repayable at the full $100, then there is such a big gain on repayment that the investor will accept a very low rate of interest.

    Thats not true – it is shares that cannot be issued at a discount.
    (Sorry – I believe you! It is what you say that BPP say is not true 🙂 )
