Details

The asset purchase facility (APF) was announced on 19 January 2009 with the objective of increasing the availability of corporate credit, in order to support the Bank of England’s responsibilities for financial stability and monetary stability in the UK. At the request of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the APF was expanded on 3 March 2009 to enable the MPC to use it for monetary policy purposes, financing asset purchases by the issuance of central bank reserves, in order to meet the inflation target in the medium term.
