According to its Forex Forward Auction Calendar, the Central Bank plans to sell $40 million each month in the fourth quarter.
In October, it will auction $20 million to the BDCs twice.
The same approach will be taken in November, with two auctions set for November 13 and November 27.
In December, $20 million will be auctioned on December 12 and December 27.
