The zero haircut share is the single most consequential number in this market and it is published as a citation inside a blog post, attributed to a 2023 research office study with no as of date given. The international body's own bulletin shows the share in a chart and prints no percentage. The leverage figure of 200 times is stated as an illustration rather than as an observed quantity.

Seventy five per cent of non centrally cleared bilateral Treasury repurchase trades carry a zero haircut. A haircut of half a per cent allows a borrower to hold assets worth two hundred times their equity.
