China’s central bank announced it will inject one-year liquidity to domestic lenders on Sept. 25, marking another delay amid a broad overhaul of its policy toolkit.

The People’s Bank of China will renew the medium-term lending facility funds maturing Sept. 18 later this month, according to a statement Wednesday. It postponed the operations in August to around the 25th from its previous practice of around mid-month. In July, the central bank announced an MLF rate cut toward the end of the month.
