Items not related to monetary policy operations

In the week ending 6 June 2014, gold and gold receivables (asset item 1) increased by EUR 1 million owing to a purchase of gold coin.

The net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) increased by EUR 0.2 billion to EUR 210.7 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.

The holdings by the Eurosystem of marketable securities other than those held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.2) decreased by EUR 0.5 billion to EUR 358 billion. Banknotes in circulation (liability item 1) increased by EUR 4 billion to EUR 957.8 billion. Liabilities to general government (liability item 5.1) decreased by EUR 19.5 billion to EUR 100.3 billion.

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 40.2 billion to EUR 496.7 billion. On Wednesday, 4 June 2014, a main refinancing operation of EUR 174 billion matured and a new one of EUR 149.4 billion, with a maturity of one week, was settled. On the same day, fixed-term deposits in an amount of EUR 102.9 billion matured and new deposits were collected in an amount of EUR 119.2 billion, with a maturity of one week.

During the week, EUR 1.8 billion of longer-term refinancing operations was repaid before maturity.

Recourse to the marginal lending facility (asset item 5.5) was virtually nil (compared with EUR 0.1 billion in the preceding week), while recourse to the deposit facility (liability item 2.2) was EUR 37.3 billion (compared with EUR 39.9 billion in the preceding week).

The holdings by the Eurosystem of securities held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.1) decreased by EUR 2.4 billion to EUR 212.8 billion. This decrease was due to the redemption of securities acquired under the first and second covered bond purchase programmes, as well as under the Securities Markets Programme. Therefore, in the week ending 6 June 2014 the value of accumulated purchases under the Securities Markets Programme amounted to EUR 162.7 billion, while the values of the portfolios held under the first and second covered bond purchase programmes totalled EUR 35.9 billion and EUR 14.2 billion respectively. All three portfolios are accounted for on a held-to-maturity basis.

Current accounts of euro area credit institutions

As a result of all transactions, the current account position of credit institutions with the Eurosystem (liability item 2.1) decreased by EUR 22.3 billion to EUR 187.1 billion.
