Compound Yields vs. Volumes at Primary Auctions of 3-month T-bills

 

The latest T-bills auctions were held after the Finance Ministry had raised the refinancing rate (see above). However, the results of both auctions show that the new refinancing rate is not yet "working" in this market and the market players are still seeking higher yields. Their expectations were 30.76% for 'the six' and 24.45% for 'the three'.
