PBoC injects record cash as liquidity is falling rapidly

The People’s Bank of China injected record amount of cash into the market to “maintain “reasonably ample” liquidity in the banking system. The central bank said the act was to provide support for the current peak period for tax payments. And it came at a time when “the banking system’s overall liquidity is falling rapidly”.

PBoC injected CNY 350B through 7-day reverse bond repurchases and CNY 220B through 28-day reverse bond repurchases. At the same time, CNY 10B reverse repose are set to mature today. The net CNY 560B, or USD 83B, is the largest daily injection on record.

The act is seen as a sign of consensus in the Chinese government for decisive stimulus to the economy, in light of the ugly trade data as released earlier this week.
