However, the issuer was not able to lower the yield again. It is hard to do so with the notes of this type. It is enough to say that at the auction the yield of MEKKAM-3, more lengthy securities, was lower than that of the notes-84. In general, the first auctions of the week show that the banks are taking a wait-and-see position both on the currency market and on primary market of GB. Their liquidity in tenge is close to excessive. Meanwhile, demand for GB can be considered as modest, and the market was not active in currency circulation sector.
