The sector is still under influence of the previous week residual demand. Thus the issuer did not meet any problems placing these bills. However, the Ministry of Finance still limited itself within planned volume of floatation. Thereby, it tried to direct money to Tuesday floatation of MEOKAM with more longer circulation term. No fundamental changes in the sector were observed today.
