China’s central bank pumped a near-historic amount of short-term funds into its financial system on Wednesday, dialing up liquidity support amid a cash squeeze with the new year holiday looming.
The People’s Bank of China injected a net 958.4 billion yuan ($131 billion) of cash via seven-day reverse repurchase agreements in daily open market operations, the second highest on record in data compiled by Bloomberg going back to 2004.
