SAO PAULO, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank
announced on Thursday that it would hold auctions starting on
Friday to roll over $15.3 billion in traditional currency swaps
maturing on April 3.
In a statement, the central bank said daily traditional swap
auctions would be held as long as necessary for the expiring
stock to be fully renewed.
The central bank usually seeks to provide currency hedging
and maintain liquidity conditions to the market with its rolling
policy.
