We describe its unique infrastructure and the evolution of market activity from 2006 to 2013. We identify risk and central bank liquidity provisions as the main state variables. In contrast to repo markets in the United States, the central counterparty-based segment is resilient during crisis episodes. This suggests that banks use the euro interbank repo market as a means of liquidity hoarding. The key characteristics that render the market resilient are anonymous trading via a central counterparty, reliance on safe collateral, and the option to reuse collateral.enconference paper
