By Nada Ali On Nov 28, 2024

People’s Bank of China (PBC) announced on Thursday a seven-day 190.3 billion-yuan reverse repo at an interest rate of 1.50 per cent.

The Chinese central bank aims to maintain stable liquidity within the banking system as 2024 is coming to a close.

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.
