DUBAI/ANKARA, Oct 2 (Reuters) - The central banks of the United Arab Emirates and Turkey signed a bilateral currency swap agreement of a nominal size of 18 billion UAE dirham ($4.90 billion) and 198 billion Turkish lira, they each said on Thursday.

The Turkish central bank said the swap deal is designed to provide local currency liquidity to financial markets and enable more efficient settlement of commercial and financial transactions.

The banks also signed two memorandums of understanding focusing on promoting the use of local currencies in cross-border transactions and linking payment and messaging systems between the countries, the Turkish side said.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
