28 January 2009

From 2 February 2009, the MNB will broaden the range of counterparties eligible to participate in its six-month, variable-rate collateralised loan tenders, in order to make it identical to the range of counterparties for O/N collateralised loan facility. All other terms of the six-month, variable-rate collateralised loan facility will remain unchanged.

In the future, the MNB will maintain its liquidity-enhancing measures for as long as necessary to support domestic banks’ liquidity management.
