The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) set up a swap line for EUR 2 billion.
Under the agreement the Bulgarian National Bank will be able to borrow up to EUR 2 billion from the ECB in exchange for Bulgarian Leva, the maximum maturity for each drawing being three months. The line will be activated when the need arises and is set up as an additional precaution because of the Covid-19 crisis.
The setting up of a swap line between the ECB and the BNB to ensure euro liquidity was welcomed in a telephone conversation by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and the President of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde.
