MNI POLICY: TEXT: BOC Changes Term Repo/BA Facilities
By Greg Quinn
OTTAWA (MNI) - Following is text of the BOC's changes to repo and BA
purchase operations:
With substantial improvements in short-term funding conditions recently, as
well as reduced participation since mid-April in the Bank's extended Term Repo
and Bankers' Acceptance Purchase Facility (BAPF) operations, the Bank is making
amendments to these programs.
Effective June 16, 2020, the Bank will reduce the frequency of its Term
Repo operations from twice to once per week. Correspondingly, the number of
maturity points per week will be reduced from four to two, with the Bank
continuing to offer repo operations out to two years. In addition, it will
remove all LVTS members' bankers' acceptances or bearer deposit notes (including
own-name) from the list of eligible securities effective immediately. Own-name
covered bonds, Term ABS, and ABCP will remain eligible.
Effective July 6, 2020, the Bank will reduce the frequency of its BAPF
operations from weekly to bi-weekly. Accordingly, the subsequent BAPF operation
will be held on July 20, 2020. All other BAPF parameters (size and pricing)
remain the same.
The Bank recognizes the importance of maintaining these facilities as
backstops given ongoing uncertainty, and as such is committed to continuing them
at this frequency until the end of October 2020. At that time, the Bank will
reassess market conditions and evaluate the continued need for the BAPF and the
extended term repo facilities.
The Bank will continue to monitor funding conditions, and if warranted,
will adjust its Term Repo and BAPF operations.
The Bank remains committed to providing liquidity as required to support
the functioning of the Canadian financial system.
