Reserve Benchmarks 2021 report – in search of liquidity

Reserve Benchmarks 2021 highlights how central banks have focused on liquidity this year.

As a result, liquidity tranches have become larger to adequately respond to an uncertain environment. Additionally, central banks have accessed new liquidity facilities. The report also measures the advance of green assets in reserves, and the human resources managers have had to deal with the pandemic.
