Cina Reverse Repo Rate

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) conducted CNY 487 billion (USD 68.56 billion) in seven-day reverse repos through open market operations on September 18, at an interest rate of 1.4%, unchanged from the previous period. With CNY 292 billion in seven-day reverse repos maturing on the same day, the central bank achieved a net injection of CNY 195 billion, continuing its efforts to inject liquidity into the banking system.The move came just hours after the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The seven-day reverse repo rate now serves as the economy's main policy rate. The PBOC last lowered the seven-day reverse repo rate by 10 basis points in May.
