The suspension, which affected the trading of GIS issues dated June 28, 2024, was due to pending rental payment adjustments.

For the 3-Year Variable Rental Rate (VRR) GIS, identified by the security code P03VRR280627, the net profit rate previously stood at 10.1639%. The latest 6-month weighted average yield, recorded on June 23, 2026, is 11.7239%, with a spread of -30 basis points applied from the auction dated June 27, 2024.
