In 2017, the target for domestic bond issuance is 65 billion kroner – or around 9 billion euro. This is unchanged from 2016. Issuance will mainly be focussed in the 2- and 10-year segments to build up of the volume of two new on-the-run issues and to support market liquidity.
The first element is the Bank's provision of ample liquidity to the money market so that the outstanding balance of current accounts at the Bank substantially exceeds the amount of required reserves.
