Forint liquidity of Hungary banks edges further up in July - MNB
Forint liquidity of Hungary's banking sector rose slightly further in July, mainly due to a decrease of central government deposits, the National Bank of Hungary (MNB) said in its monthly preliminary statistical balance on Monday.

Swap claims dropped by HUF 6.7 billion to just HUF 2.8 billion. The decrease was similar to June. Average stock of currency in circulation fell HUF 24.1 billion to HUF 2,670.2 billion in July.
