The Fed is extending its currency exchange program to more central banks around the world PUBLISHED THU, MAR 19 2020 9:00. PUBLISHED THU, MAR 19 2020 9:00 AM EDT UPDATED AN HOUR AGO Jeff Cox @JEFFCOXCNBCCOM@JEFF.COX.7528 SHARE The Federal Reserve said Thursday it will extend its currency exchange program to other central banks around the world as the demand for dollars intensifies.In addition to its existing arrangements with its larger peers, the Fed is now extending the lines to Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Korea, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore and Sweden. The lines are known as dollar swaps and will be in place for six months. The Fed will provide $60 billion to all but Denmark, Norway and New Zealand, which will get $30 billion. Reserve Bank of Australia, the Banco Central do Brasil, the Bank of Korea, the Banco de Mexico, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Sveriges Riksbank and $30 billion each for the Danmarks Nationalbank, the Norges Bank, and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of its global competitors, has risen to a record high amid widespread selling of assets. "These facilities, like those already established between the Federal Reserve and other central banks, are designed to help lessen strains in global U.S. dollar funding markets, thereby mitigating the effects of these strains on the supply of credit to households and businesses, both domestically and abroad," the Fed said in a news release posted on its site. The Fed has standing arrangements with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, and the Swiss National Bank. 1 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinarThug Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 2 hours ago, blueskyline said: The Fed is extending its currency exchange program to more central banks around the world LINK Fed Aims to Keep Dollars Flowing Globally in Nine New Agreements The Federal Reserve opened currency swap lines, which help foreign central banks to keep dollar funding flowing, with nine nations. 19th March, 2020 The Federal Reserve said it would extend currency swap lines to nine additional countries, an attempt to keep dollars flowing to banks around the world as the coronavirus disrupts every aspect of business, creating a cash crunch in many nations. The Fed opened currency swaps with central banks in Singapore, South Korea, Brazil, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Norway and Denmark, the Fed said in a Thursday morning release. The Fed has a history of using so-called “swap lines” to help foreign central banks deliver U.S. dollar funding to financial institutions in their regions amid market stress. Such agreements were used extensively during the financial crisis. Indeed, the newly extended swap lines are with the same countries the Fed struck such agreements with during the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed has standing swap lines with partners including the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Swiss National Bank, and it sweetened the terms on those programs on March 15 to encourage their use. Because of the importance of the U.S. dollar in the global economy, strains in the markets for borrowing and lending dollars overseas can disrupt financial conditions here in the United States,” Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, said in a news conference after that decision. Swaps work through two transactions: A foreign central bank first sells its currency to the Fed in exchange for dollars. The foreign central bank is then obligated to buy back its currency on a specified date at the same exchange rate, with interest. The dollar is in many ways the world’s currency. Banks overseas have some $13 trillion in dollar-denominated assets. Because banks abroad operate so heavily in dollars, they may need access to dollar-based credit to weather a shock. “These facilities, like those already established between the Federal Reserve and other central banks, are designed to help lessen strains in global U.S. dollar funding markets,” the Fed’s Thursday release said of its new agreements. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreis Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Scary given that there is more money in funded retirement accounts than the national debt. Wouldn’t take much to federalize those retirement accounts and clear the debt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiljor Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I know it’s because of the swings in the usd over the past few weeks, but, it’s nice to see there is actual swings in the IQD. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you must be the one who sold every single dinar you had and just want everyone else to stoop to your level 🤣 Well so sorry for you my friend, but I’m assuming you are really hurting inside and hope what ever is bothering you that it heals. I send you best wishes 🙏 1 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
