KIEV, Oct. 17 – The Finance Ministry plans to issue treasury bills worth UAH 2.6 billion in the hryvnia equivalent in 2014, said Halyna Pakhachuk, the director of the department for debt and international financial policy at the ministry.

"UAH 2.6 billion on average – it would be a good task to place T-bills next year," she said at a press conference in Kiev.

Pakhachuk said that it is planned to issue two series of foreign currency-pegged T-bills worth $100 million each and two series of hryvnia-pegged bills worth UAH 500 million each: the placement of the bills will start in early 2014. The face value of the hryvnia-pegged bills is planned at UAH 5,000 and UAH 10,000.
