German term or phrase: Haftung
Can anyone tell me how I should translate Haftungen in the following sentence:

Zinssenkungen, Kapitalbereitstellungen und Haftungen sind jedoch zweifellos "inflatorische geldpolitische Instrumente"

I have interest-rate reductions and capital appropriation for the first two terms, but liabilities on its own doesn't seem to fit for the third. Assumption of liabilities, perhaps?

Although, thanks to the replies, I used guarantees on its own elsewhere in the text, I felt that credit guarantees best suited the context at this point. Thanks!

guaranty / guaranties


Explanation:
This is really an intelligent (I hope!) guess because of the "geldpolitische Instrumente", measures that are usually taken by central banks or governments. If the context is the global financial crisis, 'Haftungen' could be the guaranties for commercial banks that have been granted recently by a number of governments in Europe and elsewhere.
