(Reverse repo).  
(WTO).


A form of secured investing/lending, seen from the perspective of the investor/lender, using an agreement to buy securities at the start of the contract, and to sell them back at a pre-agreed price at a fixed future date.
The WTO is an international forum for negotiating trade agreements between governments.


In simple terms, its overriding purpose is to help trade flow as freely as possible, so long as there are no undesirable side effects.


The investor/lender invests cash at the start (in exchange for the transfer of pre-agreed securities).


At maturity the investor/lender receives their cash back with interest and sells the securities back to the borrower.
The WTO was established in 1995 and incorporates the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).




A reverse repo is exactly the same transaction as a Repurchase agreement (repo) but from the perspective of the lender (rather than the perspective of the borrower).
