６中銀がドル資金供給強化　コロナで現金需要増大

　日銀、米連邦準備制度理事会（ＦＲＢ）、欧州中央銀行（ＥＣＢ）など６中央銀行は２０日、市場安定に向けたドル資金供給拡充の第２弾を発表した。新型コロナウイルスによる経済や市場の混乱に備えて、手元資金を厚くしたい企業や金融機関がドルの現金調達を増やしている。１６日の第１弾に続く措置で、国際金融市場の不安を抑える。
　英国、カナダ、スイスを加えた６中銀は外貨を相互融通する取り決めを結んでおり、各中銀は調達したドルなどを民間金融機関に供給している。これまでは貸出期間１週間のドル資金の供給は１週間に１度だったが、これを毎日行うようにする。２３日から４月末まで実施する。（2020/03/21-00:12）

The Bank of Japan, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and three other major central banks on Friday announced their decision to further enhance their dollar liquidity supplies to help private-sector institutions weather the impact of the new coronavirus pandemic.
   The additional step comes as both financial institutions and nonfinancial businesses are increasing procurements of dollar funds to prepare for economic and financial market turmoil amid the virus crisis.
   The first set of measures was announced last Monday. Using the series of steps, the six central banks, also including the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank, aim to stabilize the global financial markets.
   The six banks supply dollar funds procured under their liquidity swap line arrangements to financial institutions.
   As the additional step, the central banks will increase the frequency of seven-day liquidity-supplying operations "from weekly to daily." The daily operations will begin on Monday and remain in place until the end of April.
