Transaction whereby one party sells securities to another party and agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date at a fixed price.
A means of providing short term finance against collateral. The `borrower' agrees to sell securities (such as government bonds or shares) to the `lender', with an agreement to buy them back (repurchase) at a specified later date, either at an agreed higher price or at the market price. The interest rate implied from this `lending' transaction is called the repo rate. There is a statutory definition of a repo in ICTA88/S730A(1). Effectively, this is a secured loan, the price difference being the interest. The initial purchaser typically makes substitute payments to the seller in place of the interest or dividends formerly received on the securities.
A repo, or repurchase agreement, is a transaction in which the Riksbank sells securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase them at a specified date and price.
A repurchase (repo) agreement can be seen as a short term swap between cash and securities. Repurchase agreements, or repos, are specialised but important aspects of many markets, especially those for government securities. In essence, if a security holder wants to maintain his or her long-term position but needs cash for a short period, he or she can enter into a repo contract whereby the securities are sold together with a binding agreement to repurchase them at a future date, usually fairly near-term. The effect is to provide the security holder with a short-term loan based on the collateral of the government securities he or she owns. In major markets with repo systems, it is a cheap, simple and effective way to raise short-term funds.

A transaction whereby one part sells securities to another part and simultaneously both agree to repurchase the securities at a future date at a fixed price. Originally known as a sale and repurchase agreement, repo is economically a collateralized loan. When specific collateral is in demand or special, repo will usually yield more income than deposit. A repo is more secure than a deposit because it is collateralized.

An agreement under which authorised dealers in the short-term money market transfer securities to the Reserve Bank in exchange for cash, on the basis that the transaction will be reversed at a later date on agreed terms. The transaction can also occur in the opposite fashion ( reverse repo). The main purpose of these arrangements is to allow the Reserve Bank to manage liquidity in the money market.
A simultaneous sale and repurchase of a security. It is a structure devised to borrow money at fine rates on a secured basis. The institution borrows money by selling a security for one delivery date with a simultaneous repurchase of the same security for a different delivery date. Commonly, this type of transaction is used to fund bond trading activities. It is a financial tool often used by Central banks in their open market operations to drain liquidity from the System.
