BCT: Banks’ liquidity needs fall slightly to TND14.1 billion in May 2024

Banks' liquidity needs decreased slightly to an average of 14.1 billion dinars in May 2024, compared with 14.9 billion dinars in the previous month and 15.8 billion dinars in May 2023, the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) reported in a recent note. This relative easing is mainly due to the expansionary effect of the return of cash to bank counters, the BCT explained. Banks' liquidity needs were mainly met by the BCT's intervention on the money market, which amounted to 14.1 billion dinars, compared with 15 billion dinars in April 2024".
