deadline.
System liquidity opened the session in a surplus position of ₦4.39 trillion, representing an increase of ₦682.39 billion compared to the previous session. The improvement was largely driven by higher Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) placements at the CBN’s Standard Deposit Facility (SDF) window, which rose from ₦3.62 trillion to ₦4.32 trillion.
