Banks Urged to Back Discount Window with Loans, Not Treasuries
Original: Replacing Reserve Balances: Loans, Not Treasuries, Should Back Banks’ Discount Window Capacity
The Bank Policy Institute argues that reserve balances should be replaced, and that banks' pre-positioned collateral capacity at the Federal Reserve's discount window should be backed by loans rather than Treasuries. The proposal is aimed at improving how banks access emergency liquidity, a debate reignited by recent banking stress and the role of the discount window as a backstop.
Why now: Ongoing debate over bank liquidity rules and discount window reform after recent episodes of banking stress.
