UK central bank oversight.

(SMF).

The Sterling Monetary Framework (SMF) describes the Bank of England's operations in the sterling money markets.


The SMF includes:

  • Operational Standing Facilities (OSFs).
  • Liquidity insurance.


The SMF's purposes are to:

  • Implement the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee's (MPC's) decisions in order to meet the inflation target.
  • Reduce the risk and cost to the UK economy of any disruption to the critical financial services provided by banks and other participants in the SMF.
