A Callable Bond is a bond whose issuer reservers a contractual right to pay off all or part of the obligation before the due date comes.
Issuers usually 'call' a callable bond when the bond's interest rate exceeds that of the market. After closing the high-interest rate bond, the company can issue a new bond with the currently lower market rate, and save money.
