Gilty jsou dluhopisy vydávané UK Debt Management Office pro HM Treasury. Konvenční gilt vyplácí pevný sterlingový kupon dvakrát ročně a splatí 100 liber nominálu k uvedenému datu splatnosti. Inflačně vázané gilty škálují tyto toky zveřejněným inflačním indexem; zelené gilty jsou stále britský kredit, s označením použití výnosu emise.
Desetiletý výnos giltu je sazba, od níž se spredují britské hypotéky, dávkově definované penze a sterlingový kredit. Na živé tabuli tiskneme řadu Bank of England IUDMNZC s datem pozorování na kartě — ne nedatovaný snímek obrazovky.
