The Broad General Collateral Rate (BGCR) is a measure of rates on overnight Treasury general collateral repurchase agreement (repo) transactions. General collateral repo transactions are those for which the specific securities provided as collateral are not identified until after other terms of the trade are agreed. The BGCR includes all trades in the Tri-Party General Collateral Rate plus GCF Repo transactions.
The BGCR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of transaction-level tri-party repo data collected from the Bank of New York Mellon as well as GCF Repo transaction data obtained from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Financial Research (OFR). Each business day, the New York Fed publishes the BGCR on the New York Fed website at approximately 8:00 a.m. ET.
For more information on the BGCR’s publication schedule and methodology, see Additional Information about Reference Rates Administered by the New York Fed.
