BOE: Among the number of releases by the BoE earlier, the Bank also confirmed

that it will carry out Stg18.3bln in QE re-investment following the maturity of

Mar 7, 2018 Gilt.

- Gilt repurchase operations will commence week beginning of Mar 12, 2018 and

last for 5-weeks and be for E1.22bln for each of the 3-7-yr, 7-15-yr and +15-yr

sectors.

- There will be no repurchases on Mar 13 due to Spring Budget and on Apr 2 due

to Easter Bank holiday, these operations will be held on Apr 16 and Apr 17

respectively the BoE said.

- The Bank will confirm details of the following week's operations each Thursday

at 1600GMT. The Bank does not currently intend to purchase gilts where the Bank

holds more than 70% of the "free float", i.e. the total amount in issue minus

government holdings. The Bank will, however, continue to keep the gilts eligible

for purchase by the APF under review.
