BEIJING, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank conducted 256 billion yuan (about 35.7 billion U.S. dollars) of 14-day reverse repos at an interest rate of 1.65 percent on Tuesday.
The move aims to keep liquidity in the banking system at an adequate level before the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, the central bank said.
A reverse repo is a process in which the central bank purchases securities from commercial banks through bidding, with an agreement to sell them back in the future. Enditem
