The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has initiated a series of liquidity operations to stabilize the banking system and manage market funding conditions. In mid-August, the central bank executed a one-to-one rollover of CNY 1 trillion through a six-month outright reverse repurchase operation and injected a net 348 billion yuan via overnight reverse repos.

Following these actions, the PBOC injected an additional 565.5 billion yuan through overnight reverse repos to support an ‘appropriately loose’ monetary policy and meet increasing month-end funding requirements. Analysts have observed a potential shift in the central bank’s strategy, moving from 7-day instruments toward overnight reverse repos to manage market interest rates with greater precision and reduce interbank market volatility.
