ÁKK sells HUF 44.5 bln of one-month bills at ‘liquidity’ auction, more than planned
The Government Debt Management Agency (ÁKK) sold HUF 44.5 billion of discount one-month T-bills at a liquidity auction today, HUF 4.5 bln more than the original offer, Hungarian news agency MTI.
Primary dealers bid for HUF 71.05 bln of the papers.
Average yield was 1.00%, 20 bps over the three-month secondary benchmark.
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 bills expire on December 30, after the big year-end tax payment deadlines but before year-end thus providing liquidity without raising year-end government debt.
ÁKK tends to keep year-end issues low and repayments high to keep the year-end gross state debt ratio on a falling trend.
