The RBA bought $320 million worth of mortgage-backed securities on Friday, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
The unusual move reportedly provided “much-needed liquidity to a bank or non-bank lender that had packaged a series of home loans for on-selling”.
According to the daily the terms of the purchase are for less than a year, with the funds provided on the basis that the securities are repurchased by the original institution.
