To enhance liquidity in Government of Canada bonds, a pilot bond buyback program was implemented in 1998-99. The purpose of this program is to buy back existing less liquid bonds to support the maintenance of a liquid new bond issue market. By buying back less liquid bonds, the government's ability to maintain its strategy of building large benchmark bonds at key maturities is facilitated. 1, record 6, English, - pilot%20bond%20buyback%20program

Le programme pilote de rachat d'obligations s'étendra à 1999-2009. Afin d'accroître la liquidité des obligations du gouvernement canadien, un projet pilote de rachat d'obligations a été instauré en 1998-1999. Le but du programme est de racheter des obligations relativement peu liquides afin de contribuer au maintien d'un marché liquide des nouvelles émissions. Le rachat d'obligations peu liquides renforce la capacité du gouvernement de maintenir sa stratégie de développement d'importantes émissions de référence, à des échéances clés. 1, record 6, French, - programme%20pilote%20de%20rachat%20d%27obligations
