Published: 07 Oct 2008 19:34:26 PST

SYDNEY, Oct 8 - Australia's central bank on Wednesday said it was expanding the liquidity assistance it provides commercial banks in its daily money market operations.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) said it would ease restrictions on the types of residential mortgage back securities (RMBS) it will accept as collateral for loans.

It will also offer six- and 12-month repurchase agreements each day in its operations, essentially lending for longer periods.
