Repo and Securities Lending: Improving Transparency with Better Data

Viktoria Baklanova

No 15-03, Briefs from Office of Financial Research, US Department of the Treasury

Abstract: This brief focuses on data gaps in U.S. repurchase agreements and securities lending markets. A paucity of data and a limited understanding of the institutional structure of these markets prevented regulators from fully identifying and responding to vulnerabilities during the 2007-09 financial crisis. The OFR and Federal Reserve are conducting a pilot data collection to close these data gaps.
