I have no role in the provision of liquidity funding by the Central Bank. However, the Central Bank advises me that, similar to other central banks, it may provide Exceptional Liquidity Assistance and Eurosystem liquidity. These amounts are published monthly. The Central Bank does not disclose the financial institutions that avail of such support although it is open to all eligible counterparties to apply for such funding.
