I-Bonds Discussion Thread (continuation of the FW thread)

[scripta]

Just did some googling and by way of this landed on the following:

@https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-II/subchapter-A/part-359

Fixed rate or fixed rate of return is a component of the composite annual rate for a Series I savings bonds that is established by the Secretary of the Treasury for the life of the bond.
…

§ 359.10 What is the fixed rate of return?

The Secretary, or the Secretary’s designee, determines the fixed rate of return. The fixed rate is established for the life of the bond.

One might hope the Secretary has more guidance than “just do it”.
