Central Bank Dollar Swap Lines and Overseas Dollar Funding Costs
Following a scarcity of dollar funding available internationally to banks and financial institutions, in Dec. 2007 the Federal Reserve began to establish or expand Temporary Reciprocal Currency Arrangements with 14 foreign central banks. These central banks had the capacity to use these swap facilities to provide dollar liquidity to institutions in their jurisdictions.

The facilities were a response to dollar funding shortages outside the U.S. during a period of market dysfunction. The dollar swap lines among central banks were effective at reducing the dollar funding pressures abroad and stresses in money markets. Charts and tables.
