96.8%. The sector followed the same path as in February. The only thing notable is automatic overnight repo becoming more popular. Share of the deals went up by some percentage. The attenetion should be drawn to low rates on daily repos. Regardless annual tax payments in March, banks did not encounter shortage of KZT, and therefore, it led to decline of cost of shortest funds. [2004-04-02]
