Note that the auction scheduled for August 22 will be the fourth deposit auction for the current month.
It is noteworthy that in each of the previous three auctions, the Central Bank did not manage to collect the planned amount.
On August 15, the Central Bank raised 15 million AZN compared to the planned 50 million, on August 8 it raised 40 million AZN compared to the planned 50 million, and on August 1 it raised 20 million AZN compared to the planned 50 million AZN.
