With reference to the rules governing the Main Process (Operation Main) for Open Market Operations conducted by the Central Bank through a fixed-rate tender, where the volume of the operation to be conducted by the Central Bank is announced, and bids are accepted using an allocation method determined by the ratio of the bid amount submitted by the Bank to the total bids submitted, with the main operation rate applied.
