FRANKFURT (MNI) – The European Central Bank called Tuesday for bids
on its 91-day refinancing agreement at a rate indexed to the average
main refinancing rate over the life of the operation.

Due to a technical mistake, the central bank had initially reported
that the operation would be at a fixed rate of 1.25%.

Bids for the refis are due by 0730 GMT on Wednesday. The central
bank did not give a preset amount for this operation.

The 91-day refis will settle this Thursday and expire on July 28,
2011.
