German Bund 30-year Yield (Daily)

## What this measures

The 30-year point on the German government yield curve: the yield of a zero-coupon Bund of exactly 30-year to maturity, estimated by the Bundesbank each trading day with the Svensson method from the prices of listed Federal securities. Percent per year.

## Why it matters

The thirty-year Bund prices pension and insurance liabilities across the euro area and is the long anchor of the curve.

## How to read it

Higher means dearer very-long-term borrowing. The daily 30-year estimate starts on 1 August 2000 (5.49%); a high of 6.27% on 24 September 2001, a low of -0.50% on 12 March 2020 (the lowest in records back to 2000) and 3.99% on 8 October 2026.

## What it does not say

It is an estimated zero-coupon yield, not the quoted yield of any single bond, and the Bundesbank revises recent estimates. Before August 1997 the Bundesbank published month-end values only; this series starts with the daily record on 1 August 2000. Non-trading days are blank.
