|
| The Bank of England's Discount Window Facility (DWF) is one of three key components of the liquidity insurance part its Sterling Monetary Framework (SMF).
| | == See also == |
| | | *[[Fair value]] |
| The DWF is designed for institution-specific stresses needing liquidity of tailored amounts and timing, with time-lagged disclosure to the market.
| | *[[FVTOCI]] |
| | | *[[Statement of profit or loss]] |
| | |
| The DWF's key features are:
| |
| *Initiated on demand by the participating institution.
| |
| *Rollable 30-day term for banks and similar institutions, and five-day for central counterparties.
| |
| *Usually gilts lent against less liquid but high credit quality collateral.
| |
| *Prices based on collateral type and size of drawing.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Disclosure of an institution's use of the DWF risks worsening the original stress which caused the need to use it.
| |
| | |
| For this reason, disclosure of uses of the DWF is time-lagged and averaged across participating institutions and over a calendar quarter.
| |
| | |
| The intention is that any drawing under the DWF should have ended before data on it are published.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The other two key facilities in the Bank's liquidity insurance structure are the Contingent Term Repo Facility (CTRF) and the Bank's Indexed Long-Term Repo (ILTR) operations.
