The People’s Bank of China (the central bank) on Thursday continued to inject money into the financial system through open market operations.

The People’s Bank of China said in a statement posted on its website that it conducted a seven-day reverse repo transaction of 34 billion yuan (regarding 4.93 billion US dollars) at an interest rate of 2 percent.

The move aims to maintain reasonable and ample liquidity in the banking system, according to the central bank.

Reverse repo operations, known as a “reverse repo”, are operations in which the central bank buys securities from commercial banks through bidding, with an agreement to sell them back to them in the future.
