The paper describes the use of commercial bills in Bank of England open-market operations
from the earliest days of central banking in the 19th century, when, it is suggested, the Bank of
England’s main objective was what would now be called macro-prudential, until the 1980s, when
commercial bill purchases were an essential feature of contemporary anti-inflationary policy. It
explores the relationship between government securities, central bank assets and bank liquidity
regulation, exposes as a myth the belief that government securities are perfectly safe assets,
and challenges the idea that central banks should confine their asset holdings to government
securities. In addition, the paper argues that by making more active use of the policy instrument
of central bank asset choice, by acknowledging the connection between liquidity regulation
and open-market operations, and by making certain changes to the Basel 3 Liquidity Coverage
Ratio regulations, central banks could both better achieve some of their macro-prudential policy
objectives and stimulate high-quality bank lending.
