These measures include actions taken to maintain monetary and financial stability since the referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union: the package of actions being announced today by the Monetary Policy Committee; and the precautionary step announced by the Bank on 30 June to provide additional flexibility in the Bank’s provision of liquidity insurance by continuing to offer indexed long-term repo operations on a weekly basis until end-September 2016.
