Figure 4: Daily total outstanding of extendible funding agreement-backed notes (XFABN) and XFABN spin-offs

Figure 4 is a basic line chart. It is the daily total outstanding of extendible funding agreement-backed notes (XFABN) and XFABN spin-offs. The x-axis is years and it runs from 1998-2016 in two year increments. The y-axis is the amount outstanding in USD (billions). It runs from 0 to 30 in $5 increments.

The first trend illustrated, the blue line, is the FABN, extendible. It begins at $0 billion in 1998 and stays close to $0 billion till 2003. Then it begins a steady increase till it reaches the peak in 2007 at approximately $27 billion. Then it starts to decline to $0 billion in 2011. It has a brief increase in the years 2012-2015 at approximately $2 billion. In late 2015, it decreases back to $0 billion, where it remains throughout the sample period.

The second trend, the dashed red line, is the FABN, extendible spin-offs. It begins in 2007 at $0 billion. It increases to reach the peak in 2009 at approximately $20 billion in 2009. It then decreases to $0 billion in 2011 where it stays close to $0 billion till 2014, where the trend ends.

Figure 6: Daily amount outstanding of funding agreement-backed securities by maturity

Figure 6 is an overlapping area chart. It is the daily amount of funding agreement-backed securities by maturity. The four trends that are illustrated includes: FABCP, FABN with put options, FABN with fixed terms <= 397 days and the FABN with fixed terms > 397 days. The x-axis represents years that run from 2000-2016 in two year increments. The y-axis represents dollars in billions from 0-200 in $50 increments.

The lowest trend, the light green area, is the FABCP trend. It begins just before 2006 at around $1billion. It hovers around zero till around 2008 where it starts to increase to the maximum height of approximately $3 billion. It remains constant throughout the duration of the sample period.

The second highest trend, the light blue area, is the FABN with put options. It begins around 2003 at approximately $0 billion. It steadily increases till around 2008 where it reaches its maximum height of approximately $25billion. It starts an almost automatic descent to around $5billion in 2010. It remains constant throughout the duration of the sample period.

The third highest trend, the dark blue area, is the FABN with fixed terms <= 397 days. It begins in 2002 at approximately $0 billion. It steadily increases to its highest point just after 2008 at approximately $30billion. Shortly after the peak it starts to decline to $10 billion where it remains fairly constant for the duration of the sample period.

The highest trend, the dark green area, is the FABN with fixed terms > 397 days. It begins in 2000 at around $24 billion. It increases steadily till it reaches its peak in 2008 at approximately $175 billion. It starts a steep decline till it reaches its lowest point in 2014 at approximately $60 billion. It increases slightly but remains close to $65 billion for the duration of the sample period.

There are two vertical black lines. The first one is in late 2007 and the second one is just after 2009. There is a double sided black arrow connecting both lines at the top. The caption reads, "Run on extendible notes by short-term investors."
