Sunsetting 13-3 Facilities To Have Little Overall Balance Sheet Impact

FED

In the latest development in the wind-down of the Fed's pandemic lending facilities, the NY Fed announced on Thurs that they would begin to gradually sell off their corporate bond holdings in the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility (SMCCF) portfolio starting Monday.

  • This follows the unwind in ETFs which began on Wednesday.
  • As with other 13-3 facilities being unwound, there should be little market impact from this.



  • The last remaining facility to show growth since the beginning of the year is the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (see our Fed Balance Sheet tracker out today for more detail).
  • The total size of the 13-3 facilities is $144.9B - this is smaller than the $145.5B growth in the Fed's balance sheet over the past 4 weeks (to Jul 7), and barely more than the $120B monthly Tsy+MBS purchases the Fed makes monthly.
