The range of accepted yields widened to 5.90%-5.99% from the 5.92% and 5.98% range at the previous auction.
ÁKK returned to the previous HUF 50 billion per auction offer in January after offering HUF 40 billion bills of the twelve-month bills at auctions between November 25 and December 23.
ÁKK auctions twelve-month bills bi-weekly on Thursday.
