Program details
The Bank of Canada’s Securities Lending Program (SLP) provides a temporary source of Government of Canada nominal bonds and treasury bills to primary dealers to support liquidity in the securities financing market. The Bank makes a portion of its holdings of these securities available on an overnight basis through daily securities lending operations. The program is consistent with best practices at other central banks and with recommendations from the Bank for International Settlements regarding managing the impact of large-scale asset purchases on market functioning.
For operational details, see the full terms and conditions for this program.
