Details on transactions since 2010 can be downloaded in EXCEL format below.
Note: The New York Fed typically settles the repo and reverse repo transactions it conducts through a tri-party arrangement. In a tri-party arrangement, a third party (the tri-party bank) acts as custodian and agent for the buyer and seller. The tri-party agent is responsible for screening and approving eligible securities, as identified by type by the buyer and seller, from the seller's pool of available securities, determining the current market value of the eligible securities, and ensuring every day that a transaction is outstanding that the buyer receives, in its account at the tri-party bank, eligible securities having a market value (based on the market value and agreed-upon margins) at least equal to each outstanding repo trade amount.
Data elements include:
1 In a repo transaction, the New York Fed purchases securities under an agreement to resell those securities in the future in order to temporarily add reserve balances to the banking system. In a reverse repo, the New York Fed sells securities under an agreement to repurchase those securities in the future in order to temporarily drain reserve balances from the system.
2 For “Treasury” bid security types, counterparties may deliver only Treasury securities. For “Agency” bid security types, counterparties have the option to deliver federal agency debt, in addition to Treasury securities. For “Agency MBS” bid security types, counterparties have the option to deliver mortgage-backed securities issued or fully guaranteed by federal agencies, in addition to federal agency debt or Treasury securities.
