The European Central Bank is preparing to broaden access to its euro backstop facility by revamping repo lines that are currently available only to a handful of non-euro-area central banks. This policy move is intended to reduce the risk of disruptions in euro funding markets outside the euro area and to strengthen the bloc’s monetary sovereignty. The plan is currently under discussion, with officials indicating that the change is being prepared imminently to address potential vulnerabilities in international liquidity.
