Amendment to primary dealer agreements


Primary dealers and Government Debt Management have decided to prolong a
temporary amendment to Article 3 of the agreement between the parties in
connection with Government bond issuance and market making in the secondary
market, dated 14 May 2010. 

Through 2 December 2010, the maximum spread between bid and ask quotes for RIKB
19 0226 and RIKB 25 0612 will be as follows: 

Bonds	    Maximum spread
RIKB 19 0226	0.60%
RIKB 25 0612	1.20%

This amendment is made in order to help market makers to carry out market
making duties with the specified series in the secondary market.

Management, at tel: +354 569 9635.
