China’s central bank adds liquidity via reverse repos
China’s central bank Monday conducted 3 billion yuan (about 447.3 million U.S. dollars) of reverse repos to maintain liquidity in the banking system.
The interest rate for the seven-day reverse repos was set at 2.1 percent, according to the People’s Bank of China, reports Xinhua.
The move aims to keep stable liquidity in the banking system, the central bank said.
A reverse repo is a process in which the central bank purchases securities from commercial banks through bidding, with an agreement to sell them back in the future.
