(Yicai Global) Nov. 22 -- China's central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), struck a balance in the financial system via an open market operation today, ending net injections for straight two days.
PBOC conducted a seven-day reverse repurchase of CNY100 billion today (USD15 billion), with a 14-day reverse repo of CNY80 billion and a 63-day reverse repo of CNY10 billion, against the maturing of a CNY190-billion previous reverse repo, with the funds injected equaling those maturing.
