Monetary Operations - Overnight RRP Facility​​

​Monetary Operations under the Interest Rate Corridor Framework​​

Overnight RRP Facility​

In a repurchase transaction, the BSP buys government securities (GS) from a bank with a commitment to sell them back at a specified future date at a predetermined rate, resulting in an expansionary effect on liquidity. Conversely, in a reverse repurchase (RRP) operation, the BSP also acts as the seller of GS and the bank’s payment to the BSP has a contractionary effect on liquidity.

The existing RRP facility is an overnight facility and will be offered using a fixed-rate and full-allotment method, where individual bidders are awarded a portion of the total offer depending on their bid size. Fixed-rate, full allotment method will help ensure that the overnight rate sits close to the BSP policy rate.

The table below presents the features of the O/N RRP facility.
