Operating Policy
Statement to Revise Terms of Overnight Fixed-Rate Reverse Repurchase Agreement Operational Exercise
September 26, 2013

As noted in the September 20, 2013 Statement Regarding Overnight Fixed-Rate Reverse Repurchase Agreement Operational Exercise, the Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been conducting daily, overnight fixed-rate reverse repo operations as part of an operational readiness exercise.

Beginning with the operation to be conducted on Friday, September 27, the Desk intends to increase the allocation limit from the current level of $500 million per counterparty per day to $1 billion per counterparty per day.  All other terms of the exercise will remain the same.

As an operational readiness exercise, this work is a matter of prudent advance planning by the Federal Reserve. These operations do not represent a change in the stance of monetary policy, and no inference should be drawn about the timing of any change in the stance of monetary policy in the future.
