Summary

This note provides operational guidance on the use of the Flexible Credit Line (FCL) and the Short-Term Liquidity Line (SLL). After an overview of each instrument, explaining its specific nature, the operational issues are grouped into five areas: an outline of the process and specific steps that need to be followed if a member expresses interest in an arrangement; guidance on the modalities of concurrent use of the two instruments; guidance on interaction with other instruments; guidance on determining qualification of a member; and a how-to guide for determining appropriate access levels. The note is an aid to the implementation of the policy and its underlying principles. If there is any instance in which a provision of the guidance note or its implementation conflicts with Board policy, Board policy prevails. It will be revised as needed, for example following relevant policy reviews.
