The answer

Loan bonds are prohibited because they are usurious loans, and Allah has declared war on those who deal in usury. There are many legitimate alternatives that the state can use instead of these bonds, including industrial and commercial projects, interest-free loans from friendly countries, taxes, and budget reduction through rationalizing expenditures.
