What the announcement says<\/h2>\n
\n

Remarks by Philip R. Lane, Member of the Executive Board of the ECB, at the CF40-Euro50 luncheon \u201cMonetary System Beyond the Dollar\u201d<\/p>\n

The provision of liquidity is a basic task for a central bank.[1]<\/p>\n

The ECB injects liquidity through its refinancing operations (currently the main refinancing operations and the longer-term refinancing operations, with very long-term refinancing operations and targeted longer-term refinancing operations deployed in the past) and asset portfolios (previously built up under the asset purchase programme and the pandemic emergency purchase programme).[2]<\/p>\n

Since the ECB only has domestic counterparties in its refinancing operations, it is essential to complement the domestic liquidity framework with international liquidity lines. These lines, which consist of both repo and swap lines, mitigate adverse spillovers in the event of increased demand for euro liquidity abroad and\/or impairment in cross-border euro liquidity flows. In the absence of international liquidity provision, such shocks might exert upward pressure on euro money market rates or disrupt the functioning of securities markets and the banking system, and thereby impair monetary policy transmission.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the world economy has undergone profound structural shifts related to geopolitics and changes in the international financial system. These shifts have altered the dynamics of global trade and financial integration and suggest that the macroeconomic and financial environment will remain uncertain and potentially more volatile. More frequent financial disruptions and possible knock-on effects on euro area financial markets have the potential to hamper the smooth transmission of monetary policy.<\/p>\n

Given their backstop pricing, international liquidity lines are designed to be drawn down only in response to shocks and in crisis situations. However, their mere existence \u2013 even without being drawn upon \u2013 can help to prevent adverse market dynamics from arising in the first place. Empirical evidence suggests that the ECB\u2019s liquidity lines have been effective in reducing financial pressures on euro funding markets.[3]<\/p>\n

This year, the ECB decided to enhance the Eurosystem repo facility for central banks (EUREP) to make it more flexible and effective in supporting the smooth transmission of euro area monetary policy.[4] Under EUREP, the Eurosystem provides backstop euro liquidity to non-euro area central banks against high-quality euro-denominated collateral, with appropriate risk mitigants. The updated framework introduces standing access, in principle, for all central banks, unless excluded on the grounds of, in particular, money laundering, terrorist financing or international sanctions. The framework will enable central banks in jurisdictions outside the euro area to swiftly address risks of euro liquidity shortages. These changes aim to make the facility more flexible, broader in terms of its geographical reach, and more relevant for global holders of euro securities.<\/p>\n

Central banks onboarded to EUREP will receive euro liquidity in the form of loans against high-quality euro-denominated collateral, priced at the main refinancing operations (MRO) rate plus a spread set by the Governing Council to preserve the backstop character of the facility. The maturity of a single transaction will range from one day to one week and may be extended. The maximum line size per individual central bank is \u20ac50 billion. Onboarded central banks can use EUREP funds flexibly, without ex ante restrictions. After completing the onboarding process, central banks will be able to draw from the facility as of the fourth quarter of 2026. Appropriate risk mitigants are in place to adequately protect the Eurosystem. More than thirty central banks have expressed interest in EUREP in the past six months and the onboarding of first foreign central banks to the enhanced facility was completed at the beginning of October.<\/p>\n
