China is at it again. The country's central bank on Tuesday pumped 80 billion yuan ($11 billion) into the money market via seven-day and 14-day reverse repos, after draining 174.5 billion yuan on Monday.
This follows a similar move earlier this year, when People's Bank of China drained 110 billion yuan from the market to ensure a stable money supply.
The reverse repos is a process by which central banks purchase securities from banks with an agreement to sell them back in the future.
The MLF tool was first introduced in 2014 to help commercial and policy banks maintain liquidity by allowing them to borrow from the central bank by using securities as collateral. On Tuesday's interbank market, Shibor stood at 2.17 per cent, 1.4 basis points higher than Monday.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
