Consol Public Bonds - Consolidated Annuities

Japanese: コンソル公債 - コンソルこうさい(英語表記)Consolidated Annuities
Consol Public Bonds - Consolidated Annuities
A type of British government bond that began in 1751, it is considered a typical example of perpetual government debt. Before World War I, consols made up the majority of the government debt in the UK. The interest rate was 3% per year, but in 1888 the previous consols were merged with fixed annuities and refinanced, and the interest rate was reduced to 2.75% for the first 14 years, and then to 2.5%. After World War I and World War II, the UK's government bonds expanded in terms of type and amount due to war bonds, and consols became just one type of government bond among many, and their share of the government bond outstanding decreased to 1% in 1954. Since 1923, consols have been allowed to be redeemed at any time with the approval of Parliament, but in reality they have not been redeemed or refinanced.

1751年に始ったイギリスの国債の一種であり,永久公債の典型としてあげられる。第1次世界大戦以前,コンソル公債はイギリスにおける国債の大部分を占めた。利率は年3%であったが,1888年にそれまでのコンソル公債は確定年金と統合されて借換えられ,利率も初めの 14年間は 2.75%,その後は 2.5%へ引下げられた。第1次世界大戦および第2次世界大戦を経てイギリスの国債は戦時公債などにより種類も発行額も膨張し,コンソル公債は多くの国債のなかのほんの一種にすぎなくなり,国債発行残高に占めるシェアも低下して 1954年には1%となった。 23年以降コンソル公債は議会の承認によりいつでも償還できることになっているが,実際は償還も借換えも行われていない。
