As previously announced on March 23, the Bank is publishing transaction-level data for its discontinued asset purchase programs that were introduced to support key financial markets during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This release is in line with the Bank’s commitment to be transparent while protecting commercially sensitive information and trade-specific detail that could have impacted the effectiveness of these programs, led to market distortions, or impacted the fair market value of the Bank’s purchases while these programs were operational.
