Average rate of the 56-day securities inched up to 6.5512 percent from last week’s 6.4707 percent.

BSP lowered the offering for the shorter-dated securities to P80 billion from last week’s P100 billion. 

Tenders amounted to P68.005 billion, or a bid-to-cover ratio of 0.9 times.

The longer-term securities were offered for P100 billion and were fully awarded after bids amounted to P106.272 billion.
