TOKYO (Thomson Financial) - Japan's Ministry of Finance said it has set a coupon of 2.5 percent on 600 billion yen worth of 30-year government bonds it will auction Tuesday, up from the 2.4 percent coupon given at the previous auction in July.

Designated as the No 27 issue, the bonds to be auctioned will be issued on Oct 22 and will mature on Sept 20, 2037.

The results of the auction will be announced at 12.45 pm (0345 GMT).

At the last auction of 30-year bonds, the lowest accepted price was 96.80 yen, giving a yield of 2.590 percent, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.2 to one.
