BOJ to withdraw $18 billion from circulation via fixed rate CD

  
The Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) says it will be removing another $18 billion from circulation with its 6% per annum fixed rate certificate of deposit (CD) on Tuesday, in order to help contain inflation and to stabilise the dollar two days before Christmas. 
 
Some $17.1 billion will be offered to private institutional investors and individuals on a competitive basis, while $900 million will be offered to public sector institutions on a non-competitive basis. 
 
The instrument will be made directly available to primary dealers and commercial banks.
