Frequently Asked Questions — Payments

Did any central bank change a payment system today?

Not in the documents this note uses. Monday’s public news is about rates, currencies and a UK conduct consultation, not a new rail.

Why does a hold matter for payments?

Settlement uses cash and credit between cutoffs. If policy rates stay where they are, the administered cost of that cash does not reset this week. Guidance about later meetings can still reprice the market rate around it.

What did the Bank of Japan say about funding?

Its 23 October Financial System Report said banks have stable funding bases and sufficient capital for a crisis-sized stress and a compound stress, and that loan intermediation was functioning.
