China's central bank injects liquidity into market

BEIJING — China's central bank pumped cash into the banking system via reverse repos on July 23.

The People's Bank of China injected a total of 50 billion yuan (about $7.15 billion) into the market through seven-day reverse repos at an interest rate of 2.2 percent, according to a statement on the website of the central bank.

As 50 billion yuan of reverse repos matured on July 23, the operation led to no net injection.

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.

China will pursue a prudent monetary policy in a more flexible and appropriate way, according to this year's government work report.

The country will use a variety of tools including required reserve ratio reductions, interest rate cuts, and re-lending to enable M2 money supply and aggregate financing to grow at notably higher rates than last year, said the report.
