Special type of bond which does not pay coupons before maturity and for which the yield for the investor consists exclusively in the difference between their acquisition price and their repayment price. Presently, the Spanish Treasury does not issue zero coupon bonds, although there is the possibility for some participants in the market to ‘create’ securities of this type through stripping of different cash flows of Government Bonds (Bonos and Obligaciones). Treasury Bills have these characteristics as they do not pay coupons before amortization.
