BSP to offer P80-B in this week’s TDF auction

By Joann Villanueva/Philippine News Agency

MANILA – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) maintained at PHP80 billion the Term Deposit Facility (TDF) offer volume for this week, a repeat of last week’s volume.

Data released by the central bank show that both the seven-day and 14-day facilities will be offered for PHP30 billion while the 29-day facility, a day longer than the regular tenor, will be offered for PHP20 billion.

BSP explained that the longest-tenor term facility was increased by a day in line with the Ninoy Aquino Day holiday on August 21, a Wednesday.

TDF is the BSP’s liquidity-mopping facility. It has been implemented since June 2016 when the central bank shifted to interest rate corridor (IRC) framework to bring market rates closer to the BSP’s policy rate.
