No deal was concluded with USD/AZN T+1, T+2 and SWAP_USD/AZN due to an absence of appeals by dealers. Appeals were not received on RUB/AZN and EUR/AZN (Ň+1, Ň+2).

Last week the price of the privatization vouchers did not change, so purchase was 8 manats, and sale - 9 manats. Prices remain the same for several months, which is explained by reduction of rates of state property privatization, as the State Property Committee is currently undergoing structural transformation.

The validity period of the vouchers will expire on Jan. 1 2010. So far, around 75 percent of vouchers has been derived, and another extension of their validity period remains uncertain.
