Results and usage data

Covid Corporate Financing Facility

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 is now published as described below.

The Bank will publish each Thursday at 15:00 information on the use of this Facility as follows:

(i) the total amount of CP purchased that week (reported on a settlement date basis) up until the previous day, in terms of the amount paid to the sellers;
(ii) the sum of CP purchased less any redemptions and sales (reported on a settlement date basis), since the CCFF began in March 2020;
(iii) the nominal sum of drawing capacity of all CCFF approved businesses* on the date shown;
(iv) the number of businesses approved for CCFF issuance on the date shown;
(v) the number of businesses approved for CCFF issuance that have outstanding CP held by the CCFF;
(vi) the number of businesses approved for CCFF issuance that do not have outstanding CP held by the CCFF; and
(vii) in addition to the businesses approved for CCFF issuance, the number of businesses that have applied to the CCFF and have been approved as eligible in principle but have yet to be fully approved for CCFF issuance, 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 amount of CP each business has outstanding under the CCFF (reported on a settlement date basis)

* Throughout, 'businesses' is taken to include all entities eligible for the CCFF, see CCFF information page for further details on eligibility.

** The ‘Sum of settled CP purchases, less redemptions’ in line (ii) of the above aggregate table is the total proceeds from outstanding CP purchases. Values held by each business are nominal values.

Asset Purchase Facility - Gilt Purchase Operations

Asset Purchase Facility - Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme

• Previous Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme sector share and holdings results (PDF)
• To make sure purchases are representative of issuance, we allocated each bond that was eligible for purchase to one of nine sectors, using a common sector classification. We then made purchases so that our holdings are representative of each sector’s share within the list of eligible bonds.

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 2020 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.
