Finance Ministry keeps govt bonds rates unchanged, sales fall to UAH 71.5 mln

KYIV. Aug 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine at the primary auctions on Tuesday kept the rates of domestic loan government bonds at the same level, despite the National Bank’s repeated calls for their increase: three-month bonds at 12%, 11-month at 14% and 14-month at 16% per annum.

According to information on the website of the Ministry of Finance, as a result, sales fell to a minimum of UAH 71.5 million, of which UAH 32 million and UAH 33.4 million were raised from the placement, respectively, from three-month and 14-month bonds, another UAH 6.1 million from 11- month bonds.

The seller, like a week earlier, rejected an application for the purchase of 11-month securities for UAH 1.18 billion at 20% per annum.

As reported, at the beginning of last week, for the first time since the beginning of the war, the secondary market for bonds placed before the war opened. This has increased supply in the market, including betting on the short end of the curve, where there is some demand from buyers.
