FRANKFURT (MNI) – The European Central Bank on Wednesday allotted
E39.7545 in 91-day refinancing agreements, one day before E38.2 billion
in three-month funds are scheduled to be withdrawn from the system.

The central bank said that the rate in this three-month operation
will be fixed at the average rate of the MROs over the life of the LTRO.

The ECB said it satisfied all 192 bids in the 91-day operation.

The new refis will settle on Thursday, February 24 and will expire
on May 26, 2011.
