Interbank refinancing refers to the process where commercial banks borrow and lend funds among themselves, typically overnight, to manage their short-term liquidity needs and meet reserve requirements. Central banks often play a role by setting interest rates or providing liquidity facilities to influence these activities. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining stability within the broader financial system. It ensures that banks have sufficient funds to support their operations.
Context
While primarily a traditional finance concept, interbank refinancing gains relevance in discussions about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and their potential impact on financial stability. A key debate concerns how a CBDC might alter the demand for traditional interbank lending or influence the transmission of monetary policy. News about central bank research into CBDCs or their proposed designs often addresses these considerations.
