The most important regular issues in the money market are commercial-paper programs (CP programs) or asset-backed commercial-paper programs (ABCP programs).
The most important CP programs are in Europe and in the USA. Further programs are available in Australia, Canada and Mexico.
Significant refinancing potential is available to Daimler from the various CP programs.
In the ABCP program the bonds issued are additionally secured by receivables, which enables a better rating of the commercial papers.
CP programs are a very flexible, inexpensive instrument to manage short-term liquidity.
