Primary dealers bid for HUF 55.9 bln of the papers expiring on August 22.  The average yield was 0.18%, 5 basis points over the three-month secondary market benchmark, as well as the average yield at the previous liquidity auction held on June 11.

The liquidity discount T-bills are designed to manage the central governmentʼs short-term liquidity needs, and, accordingly, are auctioned on a case-by-case basis. 

The ÁKK held three liquidity bill auctions in May and two in June, after one auction in early January and one in late February.
