PBoC to Launch Overnight Reverse Repo Operations
|
Trading Economics-
The People's Bank of China said it will conduct overnight reverse repurchase operations on Monday and Tuesday to improve short-term liquidity management in the banking system. The move follows Governor Pan Gongsheng's remarks last week that the central bank would broaden its short-term liquidity toolkit by introducing overnight reverse repos and narrowing the interest-rate corridor for its temporary repo and reverse repo facilities. According to the PBoC, the overnight reverse repos will be carried out through fixed-rate, quantity-based bidding. Pan also said the central bank will optimize its temporary overnight repo and reverse repo operations by narrowing the interest-rate corridor to 50 basis points from 70 basis points, a step aimed at strengthening interest-rate guidance and improving the effectiveness of monetary policy implementation.
