"China Central Bank Makes Largest Cash Injection in Three Years"
From
China Real Time:
China’s central bank is putting the largest amount of cash into the
financial system in nearly three years, using a weekly market operation
to pre-empt a holiday-induced funding squeeze and offset rapid capital
outflows. As WSJ’s Shen Hong reports:
The People’s Bank of China offered 340 billion yuan
($51.89 billion) of short-term loans, known as reverse repurchase
agreements, to commercial banks in a routine money market operation
Thursday.
The central bank provided 440 billion yuan via similar tools Tuesday,
the first leg of its twice-a-week liquidity-management exercises.

Given the maturity of 190 billion yuan of previously issued loans,

biggest of its kind since early February 2013, when it reached 662
billion yuan.
