Updated: August 29, 2023 13:52 Xinhua

BEIJING, Aug. 29 -- The People's Bank of China, or the central bank, will conduct a central bank bills swap (CBS) operation on Tuesday to improve the liquidity of perpetual bonds.

The three-month CBS, valued at 5 billion yuan (about 695.88 million U.S. dollars), is open to primary dealers for bidding at a fixed rate of 0.1 percent, the central bank said in a statement.

The CBS scheme allows dealers to swap the perpetual bonds they hold for central bank bills. Perpetual bonds are fixed-income securities with no maturity date and are not redeemable but pay a steady stream of interest in perpetuity.
