UK: Thoughts on the SLS and EUR/GBP
Fri, Sep 19 2008, 08:01 GMT
by John Hydeskov
- • The Bank of England's Special Liquidity Scheme has allowed UK banks to swap illiquid assets for treasury bills since April. The SLS has been enormously popular among UK banks as this has given them funding in return for illiquid mortgage-backed securities.
- • The SLS should have come to an end on 20 October 2008 but due to 'disorderly market conditions' the BoE yesterday announced an extension to 30 January 2009. That was to provide additional time for banks to plan their access to the scheme in 'an orderly fashion'.
- • We argue that an end of SLS could generate temporary demand for sterling relative to the euro, all other things being equal. There are, however, several caveats to this.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
