Trang 6• The liquidity management aims to steer short term
interest rates such that they are in line with the
policy rate (the minimum bid rate)
• The liquidity management does not aim to (directly)
influence a monetary aggregate
• Implementation monetary policy is successful if
operational target EONIA is a few base points above minimum bid rate Main Refinancing Operation

Excess reserves (forecast)
Standing facilities (assumption)
Trang 13• Mainly based on expert knowledge:
information on portfolio management operations, frompublic debt manager, accounting department, etc
• Exception: banknotes
- STS-model (executed by the ECB):
- Aggregate expert forecast from NCBs
- Combined forecast:
- A weighted average of the two forecasts
- Outperforms each of the individual forecasts

Trang 19• MROs play the role of steering the liquidity conditions
and signalling the monetary policy stance
• Allotments are oriented towards a quantitative
benchmark allotment (BA)
• The BA is (from 24 March 2004) now onwards
explicitly communicated to the market on
announcement day and updated BA on allotment day
at 11.15h
=> increase transparency
=> reduce risk of wrong mon pol signals
Liquidity supply: main refinancing operations
Trang 20The benchmark allotment in a main refinancing operation [MRO] is
the allotment amount which allows counterparties to smoothly fulfil their reserve requirements until the day before the
settlement of the next MRO, when taking into account the
following liquidity needs:
1) liquidity imbalances that have occurred previously in the same
reserve maintenance period and which were not anticipated in the preceding MRO;
2) ECB’s forecast of the autonomous factors;
3) ECB’s forecast of excess reserves, which are assumed to be the
same on each day of the reserve maintenance period
Liquidity supply: main refinancing operations
Trang 21Benchmark allotment can be calculated by a formula
or a “liquidity table”
