Crisis facilities as a source of public information

Lerby Ergun

No 2025-7, Staff Analytical Notes from Bank of Canada

Abstract: During the COVID-19 financial market crisis, central banks introduced programs to support liquidity in important core funding markets. As well as acting as a backstop to market prices, these programs produce useful trading data on prevailing market conditions. When summary information from this data is shared publicly, it can help market participants understand current conditions and aid the recovery of market functioning.
