What is a Repo?

Repo is a generic term for repurchase.  One party sells a fixed income security to another party at a price and commits to repurchase the same asset from the second party at a different price at a future date.  The difference between the price paid by the buyer at the start of a repo and the price received at the end is the return on the cash they have effectively lent to the seller.  The return is quoted as a percentage per annum rate called repo rate.

What is general collateral (GC)?

General Collateral is a basket of securities which trade in the repo market at the same or similar repo rate.  Buyers of GC repo are indifferent to which security they will receive.  The basket of securities belongs to the same class (government bonds) specific to currency, example: Austria, or sub-class, specific to currency and tenor, example: Austria SUB 10YR.

General Collateral Markets

Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland,
Netherlands, Portugal
