What are war bonds?
Military bonds are a type of securities that the government issues to support the economy. In effect, it borrows money from its citizens for the duration of the war, guaranteeing the return of these funds in the future.
The purpose of these bonds is to support the defense capability and functioning of the country in conditions of hostilities.
