In addition to the measures in three main areas, the Bank has prepared facilities such as purchases of stocks held by banks and provision of subordinate loans to banks.
These facilities are designed to serve as safety valves for the proper functioning of financial intermediation by alleviating concerns over raising capital even in stress conditions where individual banks become strongly conscious of capital constraints due to concerns over a fall in stock prices. The purchases of CP and corporate bonds also have the function as safety valves when corporate financing becomes tight.
