NBK previously stepped out from the issuance of 3-month and 6-month notes (since June and March 2022, respectively), going on with weekly issuances of 1-month notes. Now the frequency of 1-month notes issuances has been changed from weekly to once in 2 weeks. Thus, there is an absence of risk-free alternative short-term notes that the market could have absorbed amidst the excess liquidity on the market. |
