The National Bank of Ethiopia NBE held its inaugural Open Market Operations (OMO) auction today. This auction was a liquidity absorbing exercise where the central bank aimed to withdraw excess liquidity from the financial system.
The auction was well-received, attracting 16 bidders who offered a cumulative amount of Birr 19.970 billion at the announced National Bank Rate (NBR) of 15 percent. This indicates a strong interest from financial institutions in participating in the OMO auctions, which are designed to help the NBE manage liquidity and maintain price stability.
