A Bank of England Interbank Deposit Clearinghouse
January 22, 2009
UK move to boost cash supply | www.ft.com
The British economy will not stabilize until the interbank deposit market comes to life again. The Bank of England has already shown its willingness to take corporate credit risk and provide insurance wraps for bonds, so why not go the next step and create an interbank deposit clearinghouse? It would be operationally straightforward and would enable the entire London market to lend freely to each other again.
