Report of the ESRB Advisory Scientific Committee, January 2023

European Systemic Risk Board Website

Starting with the 2007-2009 financial crisis and continuing through the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, central banks expanded their lending operations to restore funding liquidity and intervened in financial markets directly, purchasing securities to restore market liquidity. They expanded their toolkit, putting new facilities and programs in place quickly and in a manner that leaves little time to reflect on their structure. In this report, we examine how authorities that feel compelled to use them again might design enhanced LOLR and MMLR facilities to maximize their effectiveness while minimizing the damage that they might cause.

The policy web seminar is a part of the SAFE-CEPR European Financial Architecture Research Policy Network.
