I just spoke with the Treasury on the lending
facility they brought for discussion for the
future. Summing it up, if they decide to lend
securities it will only be because there is a very
dire situation in the market i.e. a security
trading at a negative repo rate. If this were the
case the Treasury would make the security
available for lending. The Treasury does not want
to get in the repo business only help if the
situation is dire. They will let the negative repo
rate help decide whether the issue should be made
available for lending.
