ÁKK noted that it has already met its annual target for sales of retail securities, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.

The commission on six-month Treasury bills will be reduced from 0.4% to 0.2%, the commission for interest-bearing T-bills will drop from 0.8% to 0.6% and the commission for two-year, premium and bonus bonds will decline from 1.0% to 0.8%.

As a result of a push to put more government debt in the hands of Hungarian households, the share of state debt held by retail investors has reached 24%, which ÁKK considers an “optimal level”, the debt manager told MTI.
