This activity was up 7 percent on the same period in 2016. The number of transactions also stood at 580—13 percent higher than in Q2 2016—thanks, in part, to the expansion of collateral available for the first part of repos with the addition of federal loan bonds, or OFZs, during coupon payment periods.
