It remained high due to the shrinking level of inflows from OMO maturities (N60.00 billion) especially with significant funding pressures on the system for CBN’s weekly FX and OMO (N60.00 billion) auctions and net issuance (N19.86 billion).

Fixed Income Market Monitor For the Week Ended March 12, 2021

Money Market
The overnight (OVN) rate dipped by 216bps week-on-week to settle at 14.17%. It remained high due to the shrinking level of inflows from OMO maturities (N60.00 billion) especially with significant funding pressures on the system for CBN’s weekly FX and OMO (N60.00 billion) auctions and net issuance (N19.86 billion). We expect the system liquidity to remain buoyant this week, with
OMO maturities of N260.21 billion expected to hit the system.
