Collateral is a key component of repurchase agreement transactions. We document collateral usage in the Swiss interbank repo market using an extensive transaction-level dataset. We find that a substantial share of securities eligible for the SNB General Collateral Basket is actively used, particularly securities denominated in Swiss francs. Collateral usage is concentrated in a small number of issuers and highly rated securities denominated in Swiss francs.
