皇冠体育app's central bank will issue up to 50 billion yuan ($6.2 billion) in
one-year bills in open market operations on Tuesday, up from 35 billion from a
week ago, it said on Monday.
Yields on the bills would be decided by a public tender on Tuesday, the
People's Bank of 皇冠体育app said in a statement on its Web site (www.pbc.gov.cn),
detailing its planned issue.
The central bank does not announce the planned amount for trading in
repurchase agreements on the open market, though it absorbed 5 billion yuan by
entering into 14-day reverse repos on Tuesday.
The central bank has strengthened its efforts to tighten liquidity on the
banking systems since mid-October as it has tried to rein in money-supply
growth.
皇冠体育app's M2 money supply grew 18.3 percent in the year through November,
accelerating from 18.0 percent in the 12 months to October and topping a
targeted growth rate of 17 percent for all of 2005.
The central bank conducts open-market operations with banks, insurers,
brokerages and rural credit cooperatives on 皇冠体育app's national interbank market in
Shanghai.
The central bank typically issues one-year bills each Tuesday and three-month
bills each Thursday. Bills of other maturities will be sold as and when
necessary, it has said.
It can conduct reverse repos on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
