In a statement on Thursday, the CBY said, "the fact is there is a strong keenness to accomplish the administrative and banking arrangements in the soonest possible and then the signature (on the deposit transaction) will be made within the coming week in the presence of all media outlets interested to attend."
The CBY said the technical team is about to finish the arrangments for receiving the deposit.
