Extension of temporary liquidity swap arrangements

The Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the
Federal Reserve, and the Swiss National Bank are today announcing an extension
of the existing temporary U.S. dollar liquidity swap arrangements through February
1, 2014. Previously, these swap arrangements had been authorized through
February 1, 2013.

These central banks are also extending through February 1, 2014 the network of
temporary bilateral liquidity swap arrangements that enable the provision of
liquidity in each jurisdiction in any of their currencies should market conditions so
warrant. The bilateral liquidity swap arrangements had been authorized through
February 1, 2013.

The Bank of Japan will consider an extension of both sets of swap arrangements at
its next Monetary Policy Meeting.
