The People’s Bank of China (PBC) announced on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, a 7-day 379.9-billion-yuan reverse repo at an interest rate of 1.40 per cent.

Reverse repo is a tool used by central banks to manage liquidity. The PBC purchases securities from commercial banks through a bidding process, with an agreement to resell them back in the future.
