Ques 11

A repurchase agreement (repos or RPs) is an agreement involving the sale of securities by one party to another with a promise to repurchase the securities at a specified price and on a specified date in the future. Thus, a repurchase agreement is essentially a collateralized loan backed by the securities. The securities used most often in repos are U.S. Treasury securities (e.g., T-bills) and government agency securities . A reverse repurchase agreement (reverse repo) is an agreement involving the purchase of securities by one party from another with the promise to sell them back at a given date in the future.
