A. Risk Free Rate.

 

I'd like to add this is only for governments issuing securities in their own currency. The rule is that Governments do not default on their own currencies.

 

A higher interest rate on local currency is usually an indication of expected currency devaluation by investors who lend the Government.

 

However, if we take Governments borrowing Foreign Currencies, this is no longer the risk free rate, as the risk of default does exist.
