Liquidity recovers via injections

Обзор облигаций 27.02.2015 Banks' correspondent accounts with the NBU rose UAH1.40bn to UAH29.70bn yesterday and total CDs outstanding increased UAH1.02bn to UAH18.12bn while local currency debt repayments scheduled for the next 30 days declined UAH0.1bn to UAH3.75bn. As a result, broader banking sector liquidity rose UAH1.81bn to UAH51.57bn. KyivPrime interest rates diverged: the KyivPrime ON interest rate rose 25bp to 17.00% while the KyivPrime 1M interest rate remained steady at 22.25%. Investment implications: The NBU increased the volume loans to banks, decreased ON loans from UAH0.61bn to UAH0.34bn, and issued UAH1.0bn of 13-day loans. While the 13-day loans to nine banks should have no effect on yesterday's indicators, the NBU did increase its ON loans and absorbed extra liquidity.
