Summary
- Paper proposes a temporary modification of the current guidelines for allocation of currencies used for transfers in the Financial Transactions Plan (FTP).
- Purpose: to promote fair burden sharing between NAB participants that have bilateral borrowing agreements or note purchase agreements (hereafter referred to as “bilateral agreements”) and participants that do not have such agreements.
- Scope: change would apply only to FTP members that are NAB participants.
- Reinstatement trigger: current guidelines would be reinstated automatically for all FTP members when both conditions are met:
- all pre-NAB bilateral agreements have been terminated, and
- any imbalances in NAB positions resulting from the folding in of claims under bilateral agreements have been eliminated,
- or at an earlier date as decided by the Executive Board.
Proposed modification and rationale
- Targeted alteration of allocation guidelines for currencies used for transfers limited to NAB participants.
- Designed to address fairness in burden sharing between:
- NAB participants with bilateral agreements (including note purchase agreements), and
- NAB participants without such bilateral agreements.
Implementation and timing
- Automatic reinstatement condition: both termination of all pre-NAB bilateral agreements and elimination of imbalances in NAB positions created by folding in claims under those bilateral agreements.
- Alternative reinstatement: earlier date as decided by the Executive Board.
