SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China’s central bank made its biggest weekly liquidity injection into the banking system in nearly two months to counteract the year-end rush for cash.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) injected a total of 205 billion yuan ($29.36 billion) via open market operations on Friday, including 2 billion yuan through the seven-day tenor and 203 billion through the 14-day tenor, according to an online statement.

The PBOC attributed the liquidity offerings to “maintaining steady year-end liquidity level”.
