Financial institutions use sale and repurchase agreements, commonly known as repos, for several purposes such as financing their trading activities, managing their cash positions, and obtaining short-term funding for investments. Additionally, central banks leverage repos to conduct monetary policy operations. In this pathway, Richard Comotto will outline the underlying objective of the repo market, by providing insights into their nature, the scenarios in which they are employed, and how they differ from a similar market, namely the securities lending market. Finally, he delves into some of the recent developments in the market, including the introduction of green repos.
