Does anyone know if NS&I will be offering/ are likely to offer more Index linked bonds this spring?

Snapped up last years issue. They give pretty generous terms. I would like some more.
 
Who knows... On the one hand, they might not, given that inflation might be falling and the interest in inflation-linked bonds might subside a bit. On the other hand, they might see it as a window of opportunity. So I'll be watching as well, 'cause I agree, the terms they offer are normally pretty generous.
 
The post office has 5 year index linked bonds on offer but unlike gov issues you have have to pay tax, the interest isn't compounded and there are no early withdrawals.

I've got some of those too, but I would prefer NS&I because if I find a better use for the money at a later date I can get at it.

Another problem I have with those is that they're actually issued by the Bank of Ireland on behalf of Royal Mail. While it's all covered by FSCS, it does put a damper on things a bit for me.
