The Open Market Trading Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has released its expression of interest form for Standing Repo Facility counterparties. Depository institutions with holdings of Treasury, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities greater than $5 billion or with total assets greater than $30 billion may express interest in becoming a Standing Repo Facility counterparty starting on October 1, 2021. Consistent with the New York Fed’s commitment to ensuring its counterparty policies promote a fair and competitive marketplace, these criteria will be adjusted over time to expand depository institution eligibility.
