KTB STRIPS are regularly supplied for up to 160 billion won for each maturity (210 billion won for 10Y KTBs and 30Y KTBs respectively). PDs that have obtained the right to purchase these KTB STRIPS can make purchases of up to 20 billion won.
* On the 3rd business day after the auction, the option is granted according to the outcomes of monthly evaluation conducted in the previous month, and the PDs have to meet their obligations of separating interest and principal for their purchases over the next month.
