Changes to the schedule of US dollar repo operations

In view of the improvement in US dollar funding conditions and the low demand for US dollar liquidity-providing operations, the Bank of England, in co-ordination with other central banks, has decided to phase out its current US dollar liquidity-providing operations. The Bank of England is therefore today announcing the following schedule of US dollar repo operations once the current timetable expires on 29 January 2014.
Published on 24 January 2014

2. Weekly 7-day and monthly 84-day US dollar repo operations will continue unchanged until 30 April 2014, when the monthly 84-day operations will cease. The timetable for 7-day operations then continues through to 30 July 2014. The network of bilateral central bank liquidity swap arrangements, moved on to a standing basis in October 2013, provide a framework for the reintroduction of US liquidity operations if warranted by market conditions.
