Hungary central bank allocates €30 mln three-month FX swaps at tender
The National Bank of Hungary (MNB) received and accepted €30 million bids for floating-rate three month EUR/HUF swaps at its regular weekly tender on Monday. The tender attracted bids after no demand in the previous four weeks.
The MNB offered the usual €400 million floating-rate three month EUR/HUF swaps at a maximum price of 284.00 swap points which was also the price of accepted bids on Monday.
With €560 million expiring on the March 14 settlement day, the stock outstanding of the three-month EUR/HUF swaps will drop to €1.410 billion on Wednesday.
Interest in the facility was high, reflecting partly a seasonal year-end liquidity squeeze, in December and January, and the stock outstanding of the swaps reached an all-time high of €2.345 billion on January 25. The stock was below the respective one-year earlier levels in December but surpassed them in January.
The MNB operates two EUR/HUF swap facilities to banks, a one-day one operated daily and the three-month one once a week on Mondays.
