    dear Sir

    if a country has a high risk of inflation do we want a premium (more to pay at the end) or discount(less to pay at the end) on a bond if we are issuing the bond?

    It depends whether the investor wants high income or high capital growth.

    If they want capital growth then they will prefer a premium on redemption.

    They will want to pay a premium on redemption. It will mean they can pay lower interest during the life of the bond, and given their earnings will have inflated it will be easier for them to pay the premium at the end.
