Report first recorded Oct 21, 12:46
ECB Executive Board member Philip R. Lane announced the enhancement of the Eurosystem repo facility for central banks (EUREP) to provide standing access to non-euro area central banks. The updated framework allows central banks outside the euro area to swiftly address euro liquidity shortages using high-quality collateral, with access available in principle to all unless excluded for sanctions or financial crime. The facility aims to mitigate adverse spillovers from increased global demand for euro liquidity and support monetary policy transmission. Empirical evidence cited suggests the ECB's existing liquidity lines have been effective in reducing financial pressures on euro funding markets.
