What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The European Central Bank is planning to expand currency safety nets to facilitate foreign central banks borrowing euros. ECB President Christine Lagarde announced this expansion, noting the goal is to strengthen the single currency's global standing. The ECB is working on swap lines that provide emergency liquidity and currently has arrangements with the central banks of Japan, Britain, Canada, Switzerland, and the US Federal Reserve. Furthermore, the ECB has received nearly 30 applications for a separate lending facility allowing foreign banks to borrow against euro collateral.
