Impact of BOE Bond Sale on Money Markets in the Country

a year ago


Analysts have cautioned the Bank of England about the potential risks of continuing their weekly bond sales, as it may hinder future efforts to ease borrowing conditions in the market. The BOE is expected to provide further details on their plan for quantitative tightening in the upcoming meeting. By selling off the debt acquired during the pandemic, the BOE is effectively absorbing excess cash from the market.

Reasons Behind BOE's Aggressive Bond Sale

Recent data from Bloomberg shows that the BOE's rates are aiming to attract overnight deposits at the highest level relative to their key rate since 2021. Unlike the European Central Bank and Federal Reserve, the BOE is opting for direct sales of bonds. Derek Halpenny from MUFG has expressed concerns about tightening financial conditions and increased short-term rate volatility due to the shortage of cash.

Despite the actions of the BOE, citizens remain untroubled as the bank continues to provide support and liquidity to banks in need, ensuring the smooth functioning of the economy.

Impact on the Economy

The increase in money market rates could have significant implications on financial contracts worth trillions of pounds. This might impede the BOE's efforts to relax economic policies in the future. UK policymakers will reassess their bond-selling policy in September, taking into account factors such as reduced liquidity and the tightening spread between SONIA and the BOE's key rates.

While the recent changes may not be drastic, the long-term impact on liquidity conditions remains uncertain. The BOE's weekly funding facility, initially introduced to support banks in need of liquidity, may face challenges in the future.
