What is U-yield?

Each month, the Centre for Insurance Statistics calculates and publishes the U yields. These return measures are derived from the average effective return achieved on all guilder and euro bonds issued by the State of the Netherlands, which are continuously quoted in the Official Price List. The average remaining term for the U-yield is between two and ten years.
