The repo market is a way of borrowing or lending government bonds for cash, with the bonds as collateral. Dealers in government securities use repos to manage their liquidity, finance their inventories and construct their different trading strategies. To that end, dealers lend out securities in their inventory but are not expected to be sold immediately. Because of the many uses of repos, this facility may affect the demand for government securities as well as the liquidity of secondary markets.
This policy area addresses the different types of repotransactions and highlights the risks and benefits that are associated with the development of repo markets.
