However, it should be borne in mind that the transfer of deposits to the National
Bank did not significantly reduce the pressure on the liquidity of individual banks, as
they should still have balances in accounts at the central
bank for the transfer of deposits. The balance sheet of assets and liabilities of the Bank
liabilities of banks will be reduced, and commitment to new
investors - will increase, which means it will have to take over as
assets and liabilities of the banking institution.

the banks, in our view, is the introduction of the guarantee
deposits in much larger quantities than it did the last time,
as a direct transfer of deposits to Bank can only be seen as
hypothetical option that can be used if the Fund
Deposit Guarantee Fund fails to meet its
obligations in full. Note that in this scenario,
deposits perevodytymutsya only for a short (limited) period of time.

currency swap contract with the National Bank traded bank a certain amount
foreign exchange for the national spot price and guaranteed
of the inverse operation on a specified date in the future. At redemption
Currency used as spot rate increased (reduced) to
interest rate differential between the two currencies. Currency swap
intended to cover short positions (borrowing securities
special repo) as a mechanism for borrowing a currency. Some central
banks use swaps as a means of secured lending
national currency, considering the foreign currency as a form of security.
