Money market funds (MMFs) and other investors rely on repo as a short‐term, liquid asset; broker–dealers and other financial entities use repo to fund their inventory of securities; repo enables market participants to take short positions in fixed income markets; and, as described in Chapter 0, the Federal Reserve has historically and continues presently to use repo to conduct monetary policy. Finally, and most recently, interest rate derivatives and many loan products are transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) indexes to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which is derived from rates on repo transactions.
The first few sections of the chapter describe repurchase agreements, the uses of repo, and the structure and size of the market.
