  Securities Financing and Bond Market Liquidity

  Financial System Review - June 2016 Jean-Sébastien Fontaine, Corey Garriott, Kyle Gray

  This report investigates how the markets for repurchase agreements and securities-lending agreements support the liquidity of Canadian bond markets. It also discusses how recent regulatory changes, as well as low interest rates and settlement failures, are potentially affecting securities-financing markets and, as a result, bond market liquidity.
