The arrangement is aimed at financial institutions acting as counterparty for the PSPP in Dutch fixed income instruments, after having finalized the contractual documentation in which terms and conditions (o.a. collateral, haircuts) are specified.

Bonds can be lent with a maturity of at least 1 week up to at most 1 month,with the possibility of roll over. Furthermore a maximum ticket size of EUR 50 mln and specific counterparty limits are applicable. The fee on the transactions is as following:
For bond collateral:
From 0,10% bps spread onwards, depending on market conditions.
For cash collateral:
Ranging from GC – 10 bps to GC – 25 bps, depending on market conditions, but in any case lower than the rate on the deposit facility minus 30 bps (currently –0,80%).
