BEIJING — China's interbank money market recorded 101.1 trillion yuan (about $14.26 trillion) worth of transactions in May, up 19.48 percent year-on-year, data from the People's Bank of China (PBOC) showed.

The pledged repo turnover rose 24.45 percent to 85.8 trillion yuan and outright repo turnover was 700 billion yuan, down 12.97 percent, the PBOC said in its latest report.

Also in May, the interbank borrowing turnover shrank 1.67 percent year-on-year to 14.7 trillion yuan.
