Free AccessAsset Growth Takes A Breather; Commercial Paper Facility Closes
Fed balance sheet growth took a breather in the week to Wednesday Jun 30, ending the quarter with a weekly $23.4B drop in assets. This was mostly due to net declines in MBS, offset by higher nominal/TIPS bond holdings, and 13-3 and liquidity facilities.
Source: Fed, MNI
- While 13-3 facilities rose by $3.5B in size (entirely on a rise in the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility), the Fed closed the books on the Commercial Paper Funding Facility in the last week, by returning the Treasury's equity capital ($8.5B).
- The facility had been unused since summer 2020 so its official closure will have little impact; likewise it will have little impact on the balance sheet, as the cash was ultimately transferred back and forth between the Fed and the Treasury's account at the Fed.
