The Government Debt Management Agency (ÁKK) cut its offer of discount 12-month T-bills at an auction on Thursday as yields climbed, according to a report by state news wire MTI.

The agency also sold HUF 15 bln of eight-year floating-rate bonds, in line with the plan. Offers for the bonds came to HUF 37.8 bln.

ÁKK sold a further HUF 0.7 bln of the floaters at a non-competitive tender after the auction.
