The net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) decreased by EUR 0.2 billion to EUR 210.5 billion on account of customer and portfolio transactions.

In the past week the Eurosystem has not conducted any liquidity-providing transactions in connection with the standing swap arrangement that the European Central Bank has with the Federal Reserve System.

Items related to monetary policy operations

The Eurosystem’s net lending to credit institutions (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) decreased by EUR 15.1 billion to EUR 481.6 billion. On Wednesday, 11 June 2014, a main refinancing operation of EUR 149.4 billion matured and a new one of EUR 136.8 billion, with a maturity of one week, was settled. On the same day, fixed-term deposits in an amount of EUR 119.2 billion matured and new deposits were collected in an amount of EUR 108.6 billion, with a maturity of one week.

During the week, a longer-term refinancing operation of EUR 32.3 billion matured and a new one of EUR 10 billion was settled, while EUR 10.7 billion of longer-term refinancing operations was repaid before maturity.

Recourse to the marginal lending facility (asset item 5.5) remained virtually nil, while recourse to the deposit facility (liability item 2.2) was EUR 17.2 billion (compared with EUR 37.3 billion in the preceding week).

The holdings by the Eurosystem of securities held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.1) decreased by EUR 0.3 billion to EUR 212.5 billion. This decrease was due to the redemption of securities acquired under the first covered bond purchase programme.
