FRANKFURT, Aug 12 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank called for bids on Tuesday in its latest supplementary auction of three-month funds, aimed at easing longer-term money market tensions.
The ECB said bids for the 91-day funds are due by 0730 GMT on Aug. 13. The start date is Aug. 14 and the maturity date is Nov. 13.
The ECB has been providing extra liquidity to markets for the last year in the wake of the credit crunch and announced on July 31 it would roll over two three-month liquidity operations expiring in August and September.
