BIS: Relationship Discounts Incorporate Bond Trading

Date 03/11/2023

The over-the-counter structure of the corporate bond market makes the value of bilateral interactions particularly important for investors. For clients, an established dealer relationship can let the client buy or sell bonds more easily and cheaply. For dealers, a client relationship could be helpful for managing inventory risk, for generating larger profits from loyal clients, or for extracting information from the client's order flow. Such relationships may be particularly valuable during stress episodes like the March 2020 Covid-19 crisis. In this paper, we use a unique regulatory data set on corporate bond transactions to study bilateral trading relationships in the dealer-customer segment of the corporate bond market.

‘Less Is More’ Or ‘Less Is A Bore’? Re-Calibrating The Role Of Central Bank Reserves - Speech By Andrew Hauser, Bank Of England Executive Director For Markets, Given At Kings College London’s Bank Of England Watchers’ Conference, The Institution Of Engineering And Technology, London

Date 03/11/2023

As central banks exit from QE, there will be important decisions to make on the size and composition of their steady state balance sheets.  Small balance sheets have several merits: they help crowd in private markets, and pose fewer financial, reputational and political economy risks, while still allowing satisfactory monetary control.  But they also imply a limited supply of central bank reserves in normal times, posing risks to financial stability if other assets cannot be monetised in sufficient size or speed, whether in markets or central bank liquidity facilities, in a liquidity stress.  Further strengthening is needed in core market resilience and central bank toolkits for crisis lending.  But with liquidity shocks becoming ever larger, faster and broader based, maintaining stability is also likely to involve a materially higher steady state stock of reserves than pre-2008.  In this speech, Andrew Hauser discusses ways in which the costs and risks of such an approach might be mitigated.
