Rabobank strategists Bas van Geffen and Lyn Graham-Taylor note that the European Central Bank (ECB) is reportedly considering raising the minimum reserve requirement from 1% to 2%, primarily as a cost-reduction measure. They say this change would roughly offset the additional interest costs of the June rate hike and likely have minimal impact on the policy stance, while affecting Eurozone money market dynamics.
Reserve ratio shift and liquidity effects
"The ECB is reportedly considering raising the minimum reserve requirement from 1% to 2%."
"This seems to be driven by a cost-reduction exercise. The change would roughly offset the additional interest costs of the June rate hike."
"Implications for the policy stance are probably minimal. But increasing the reserve requirement would accelerate the switch from abundant to ample liquidity by 4 to 5 months."
"This could see a further cheapening of repo rates, and it may put further narrowing pressure on short-dated swap spreads."
