Central Bank Swap Arrangements
Central Bank Liquidity Swap Lines
On October 31, 2013, the New York Fed entered into agreements with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, and the Swiss National Bank to convert their existing temporary liquidity swap arrangements to standing agreements. Two types of liquidity swap lines were established to improve liquidity conditions in money markets in the United States and abroad during times of market stress:
- U.S.-dollar liquidity swap lines operate by providing foreign central banks with the capacity to deliver U.S.-dollar funding to institutions in their jurisdictions.
- Foreign-currency liquidity swap lines operate by providing the Federal Reserve with the capacity to offer liquidity to U.S. institutions in currencies of the counterparty central banks (that is, in Canadian dollars, sterling, yen, euros, and Swiss francs).
SWAP ARRANGEMENTS DOCUMENTATION
The New York Fed undertakes certain small value transactions from time to time for the purpose of testing operational readiness. The results of small value exercises of the central bank liquidity swap lines are published weekly.
North American Framework Agreement Swap Lines
In 1994, the New York Fed entered into bilateral currency swap lines (also referred to as reciprocal currency arrangements) of $2 billion with the Bank of Canada and $3 billion with the Bank of Mexico for the purpose of promoting orderly currency exchange markets. These lines were established under the North American Framework Agreement (NAFA). Mexico also has a $3 billion NAFA swap line with the U.S. Treasury, which the New York Fed manages as fiscal agent of the United States as directed by the U.S. Treasury.
