Enhanced Flexibility for Credit Unions: New Funding Rules
This act permanently changes the operating rules of the Central Liquidity Facility, making it easier for credit unions to access additional funds. This will give credit unions greater flexibility in managing their finances, potentially leading to more stable services for their members. The changes aim to ensure credit unions can better respond to liquidity needs, which is important for the security of savings and credit availability.
Key points
Credit unions will gain easier access to funding from the Central Liquidity Facility, removing previous restrictions on primarily serving natural persons.
The borrowing limit for the Central Liquidity Facility will be increased, meaning a larger pool of available funds for credit unions.
A requirement is introduced for credit unions to first use their own liquidity sources before seeking assistance from the Facility, promoting responsible management.
A study will be conducted to assess the impact of these changes on the Central Liquidity Facility, evaluating their effectiveness and potential further improvements.
