The People's Bank of China (PBOC) announced on Tuesday that it will conduct a 500 billion yuan (approximately $69.6 billion) outright reverse repo operation on Wednesday, with a tenor of three months (92 days). This operation follows the maturity of 300 billion yuan in three-month outright reverse repos in August, resulting in a net injection of 200 billion yuan into the banking system. Analysts view this as consistent with market expectations and a measure to ensure sufficient liquidity.
