The Eurosystem’s net lending to credit institutions (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) decreased by EUR 15.1 billion to EUR 481.6 billion. On Wednesday, 11 June 2014, a main refinancing operation of EUR 149.4 billion matured and a new one of EUR 136.8 billion, with a maturity of one week, was settled.
