Asset Purchase Facility
Credit Guarantee Scheme Facility
The Bank of England stands ready to offer to make small purchases of bonds issued by banks under HMG's Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS). To gauge market conditions, the Bank engages in regular dialogue with intermediaries and also consults with issuers and investors. Should the Bank judge it beneficial to activate the facility, it will broadly adopt the same format as for the purchase of corporate bonds.
More information on HMG’s Credit Guarantee Scheme can be found on the Debt Management Office website.
To date, it has not been deemed necessary to activate this facility. If the facility is made active at some point in the future, results of such operations will be available here.
