Liquidity up

Обзор облигаций 27.01.2015 Broader banking sector liquidity rose UAH1.23bn to UAH64.81bn yesterday due to a UAH1.51bn increase in total local currency debt repayments scheduled for the next 30 days to UAH7.67bn. At the same time, banks' correspondent accounts with the NBU declined UAH0.43bn to UAH31.69bn while the NBU absorbed UAH0.14bn and increased total CDs outstanding to UAH25.45bn. KyivPrime interest rates slightly rose in anticipation of further liquidity declines due to month-end tax payments: the KyivPrime ON interest rate rose 38bp to 11.38% and the KyivPrime 1M interest rate rose 25bp to 18.50%. Investment implications: Without new inflows last Friday, yesterday's liquidity indicators saw only slight movements. Yesterday's bonds sold at the primary auction could cause liquidity to decline today if the NBU did not purchase these bonds.
