The number of firms participating in the Sterling Monetary Framework (as at 23 September 2021) are:

Operational Standing Facilities

We do not publish data on individual Operational Standing Facilities transactions. We publish aggregate data on OSFs drawings on the third Wednesday of the following maintenance period on the Bank of England Database.

Covid Corporate Financing Facility (CCFF)

On 19 May 2020, the Bank and HMT updated a number of the terms and conditions of the CCFF.  As part of these changes, certain additional information on users and usage of the scheme was published and we now continue to publish on this page weekly data showing the sum of commercial paper (CP) purchased less any redemptions and sales (reported on a settlement date basis), since the CCFF began in March 2020.

The following additional firm-level data will also be published each Thursday at 15:00:

(i) the names of those businesses who have outstanding CP issued into the CCFF (reported on a settlement date basis); and

(ii) the nominal amount of CP each business has outstanding under the CCFF (reported on a settlement date basis)

Asset Purchase Facility - Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme

• Previous Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme sector share and holdings results (PDF)
• To aim for a balanced portfolio, we allocate each bond that is eligible for purchase to a sector, using a common sector classification, and make purchases so that our holdings are broadly representative of each sector’s share within the list of eligible bonds.

Notes:

1. The above percentages are on a rounded basis, and as such we may make purchases in sectors where CBPS holdings appear in line with target sector shares on a rounded basis. Where it is not possible to achieve representative holdings in an individual sector, we may reallocate purchases into similar sectors, such that the portfolio is broadly balanced.

Term Funding Scheme with additional incentives for SMEs (TFSME)

The Bank will publish on this page quarterly data showing, for each group participating in the TFSME, the amount borrowed from the Scheme and the net quarterly flows of lending to UK households and firms. The first publication on 4 June 2020 will show lending data only. This will include participants’ base stock of lending as of end-December 2019, and Q1 net quarterly flows of lending for participants who have had this data certified by end-May.

Quarterly provisional publication dates for 2021 are set out in the table below.

Term Funding Scheme

We publish quarterly data with a one month lag, showing for each group participating in the TFS, the amount borrowed from the scheme. This also includes net quarterly flows of lending to UK households and firms, covering the scheme’s drawdown period, which ended in February 2018. The publication dates are now aligned with the publication dates for the TFSME, which are set out in the section above.

Note that data may not sum to the total due to rounding. Data may be subject to revisions. 

Funding for Lending Scheme

We publish quarterly data showing, for each group participating in the extension to the FLS, the amount borrowed from us and the net quarterly flows of lending, broken down by sector.

Note that data may not sum to the total due to rounding. Data may be subject to revisions. With the exception of any new groups that join the scheme, participants do not report data on lending beyond end-2015. Hence the lending data (and associated borrowing allowance data) will only change as a result of revisions to previous data, or to reflect new participants that have joined the scheme.
