He uses a classical instrument of regulation of bank liquidity - the credit window. This means that the regulator can freely buy and sell Government Bonds.

August 28 National Bank has sent copies of the letter, which announced its intention to daily quote state bonds from its portfolio on the secondary market. Regulator ensures mandatory redemption of securities at any time. NBU plans in September to sell state bonds to stand with the establishment of a mandatory redemption price of each day from the time of referral to the National Bank. The bank, which plans to carry out the operation can take part in the auction, conducted by the organizers of trading in securities, - said in a letter that signed the first vice-president NBU Anatoly Shapovalov.

In a crisis period in the late 1990's. NBU has used a similar method of purchase and sale of Government Bonds and this had a positive effect. The National Bank will have a real opportunity to influence the value of money in the banking market, - the president believes KF Rinaco-progress Dmitry Poddubniy. In his view, the potential users of the new services can be large and medium-sized banks, especially foreign-invested and state, including the newly recapitalized.

If the Finance Ministry on primary auctions suggests 19% per annum onthree-month Government Bonds, no one will buy them from the National Bank at 15%. For short-term Government Bonds from the portfolio of National Bank of Ukraine will buy only if the yield on them will be not less than the deposit certificates - the expert said. He believes that part of the liquidity of the banks have already gone, but money was still there. August 28 balances on correspondent accounts amounted to 15,7 billion UAH. against 24,6 billion UAH. the beginning of the month. On the reduction influence the payment of taxes at the end of the month and the formation of 40% of required reserves (about 4,5 billion UAH.) Separate accounts with the NBU. However, in September to Maturity Government Bonds and certificates of deposit.
