FIMA Repo Facility Usage

As of 2026-09-30, the FIMA Repo Facility Usage stood at $0.0B, unchanged from the prior reading, at the 0th percentile of the past 5 years. The "Repurchase agreements: Foreign official" line of the Fed's H.4.1, which is where FIMA Repo Facility usage is reported. Foreign central banks and international monetary authorities holding accounts at the New York Fed pledge their US Treasuries overnight for dollars instead of selling those Treasuries outright. A non-zero print therefore means an official-sector dollar shortage that the private repo market did not absorb, and it also means someone chose not to dump Treasuries into the market — the reason the Fed built the facility in March 2020 and made it standing in July 2021. Usage peaked at $60B on 2023-03-22, the SVB / Credit Suisse week. Caveat that matters: this is a weekly Wednesday snapshot of an overnight facility, so draws taken and repaid between Wednesdays are invisible, and no daily series exists. Display-only context, NOT in the DLI score.
