At present, this means collecting information on 10,000 daily transactions in the unsecured money market, with a daily volume of around € billion. We also collect data on around 30,000 daily transactions on secured loans, worth around € billion.
Earlier this week, the project took an important step forward with the publication of the first set of euro area money market statistics, covering each of the Eurosystem’s reserve maintenance periods in 2017.5 The published data cover the unsecured market. The aim is to publish data on the secured market in 2018 once we are satisfied that the data are of sufficiently high quality.
