The easiest way to understand repo from the central bank operation

(Comments)

Some short notes about the repo

 

So in repo

 

When there is a shortage of liquidity

 

The central bank buys the securities from a commercial bank, and then the commercial bank possesses the reserves as it is used as the liquidity source for the commercial bank. The transaction occurs on the close date. In the far date or time for the maturity (distant date), the commercial bank returns the reserves or the cash together with interest. It means the central bank takes back the funds and gives the securities to the commercial bank.

 

Since the repo interest rate is lower than the interbank interest, most commercial banks prefer to borrow the liquidity from the repo operations. It creates the arbitrage that the interbank interest rate will always go to the operational interest rate.

Start

 

 

 

 

Near date

   

 

 

Far date

 

If the repo with the operational rate gives a better option, the commercial bank prefers to use the repo rate instead of the interbank rate to get liquidity.

 

 

And in the more considerable demand for reserves, the defensive mechanism of the central bank is to inject more liquidity. And bring the interbank rate lower.

 

 

 

 

 

When there is a surplus of liquidity

 

The central bank should drain this liquidity when there is a surplus of liquidity. Therefore they will use the repo operation to take the reserves from the commercial bank and sell the government securities to the commercial bank. The central bank will return the funds to the commercial bank plus interest on the far date. And the central bank buys back the securities.

Start point

 

 

Near date

 

 

 

Far date

 

Because the repo operation gives better or higher interest rates, commercial banks prefer repo instead of interbank lending to drain liquidity.

 

 

 

 

It then pushes up the interest rate to go higher.
