PUTRAJAYA, Sept 8 — The Finance Ministry is ready to act if the second Samurai bond issuance is continued. It also said the Prime Minister was taking into consideration the views of various parties although the interest rate of the second Samurai bond was lower. The MoF had in June received instructions from the Prime Minister to initiate negotiations with the concerned parties after his visit to Japan in May, where he was offered the second of the Samurai bond series.
