Liquidity boost of US$17.5b

China’s central bank yesterday boosted liquidity by 120 billion yuan (US$17.5 billion) via open market operations to ease liquidity pressure.

The People’s Bank of China said in a statement that it used seven-day reverse repos with an interest rate of 2.55 percent to offset the impact from payment for new government bonds.

No previous reverse repos matured yesterday, meaning the net market liquidity rose by the same amount.

The PBOC will adopt more forward-looking, flexible and effective policies, control money supply and maintain abundant liquidity, said a quarterly report released earlier this month.
