Ministry of Finance to launch Inaugural Social State Bond in Domestic Currency
Following the publication of its Social Finance Framework, the Ministry of Finance has announced the pilot issuance of social state bonds on 1 October 2025. The bonds will be issued through a standard auction organized by the Czech National Bank, denominated in Czech koruna (CZK), with maturities of 5 and 10 years.
The proceeds from the issue will be allocated to selected eligible categories of social spending in accordance with the Social Finance Framework. A specific overview of the allocation will be published after the auction. An independent assessment of the framework was carried out by Sustainalytics.
By issuing the first social state bonds, the Czech Republic is significantly expanding the range of available financing instruments.
