Premise: ÁKK auctions HUF 20 bln of discount 12-month T-bills MTI – Econews The Government Debt Management Agency (ÁKK) sold HUF 20 billion of discount twelve-month T-bills at an auction on Thursday, in line with the original offer. Primary dealers bid for HUF 42 bln of the papers, according to state news agency MTI.
