Government bonds are debt securities issued by the government, either bonds with fixed interest or types of bonds with interest that changes according to the market. The main purpose of these bonds is as a source of funds for the government to carry out projects or development. Many investors choose this type of government bond because it has low risk. However, you should not only rely on low risk, but of course there are factors that you need to consider as your reason for choosing government bonds.

When we invest in bonds, we not only study the advantages, but we also really need to study some of the disadvantages of bond investment so that we can minimize risks, such as:
1. Potential for failure to pay
Default can occur if the company goes bankrupt so it does not have the ability to pay interest and principal on loans or nominal bonds.

3. Illiquid
The interest we earn from bonds cannot be withdrawn at any time.
