Asset Purchase Facility Gilt Sales Market Notice 20 March 2026
The Bank of England issued this Market Notice to outline the quarterly sales schedule for gilts held in its Asset Purchase Facility during Q2 2026. The Bank will conduct five auctions between 20 April and 15 June to sell £3.75 billion in short, medium, and long maturity bonds, continuing a programme that reduces the APF stock by £70 billion to £488 billion. Operational parameters remain largely unchanged, though the Bank reserves discretion to adjust auction sizes and timing based on market conditions.
