The bank, which keeps the dinar in a managed float on the foreign currency market, stepped in as the currency, bolstered by a demand- and investment-based inflow of euros, traded at 117.88 to the euro. After the intervention it weakened to 118.23.
"The bank intervened twice today," a dealer who asked not to be named told Reuters.
So far in 2018, the bank has bought 660 million euros ($817 million) and sold 180 million euros to cushion fluctuations in the dinar rate. On Monday it purchased 20 million euros.
