Outright reverse repo operation conducted

The People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, conducted a 1.1-trillion-yuan ($157 billion) outright reverse repo operation on Thursday to maintain ample liquidity in the banking system. The operation was carried out with a fixed quantity through interest-rate bidding, with winning bids determined at multiple price levels and a maturity period of three months. As 1.1 trillion yuan of three-month outright reverse repos are set to mature in January, the latest move represents a rollover of the same amount.
