more generally.  The facility allowed primary dealers to support smooth market 
functioning and facilitate the availability of credit to businesses and households.  
The PDCF ceased extending credit on March 31, 2021.  Additional information

their purchases of certain types of assets from money market mutual funds under 
certain conditions.  The program was intended to assist money market mutual 
funds that hold such paper in meeting demands for redemptions by investors and
