There has been no word on whether the bonds have been selling.
The government has marketed a number of bond issues in recent months without saying how much has actually been sold. Some news reports have said the bonds have not sold well, but there has been no official announcement from the government.
The hydroelectric bonds carried an interest rate (called a guaranteed profit to comply with the Islamic usury prohibition) of 17 percent, which is slightly below the officially reported inflation rate of 19.8 percent.
