Usage notes
  • The terms repo and reverse repo describe the same transaction viewed from the perspective of the lender and borrower respectively. Sometimes a convention is used wherein the transaction is always described from the dealer's perspective; if the dealer is lending then it is a repo, and if it is borrowing then it is a reverse repo.
