MNI: PBOC Injects CNY200 Bln via Open Market Operations

     BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) injected a net of CNY200
billion via 14-day reverse repos with the rate unchanged at 2.65% on Friday,
according to a statement on the PBOC website.
     - The injection aims to offset the peak demand for cash and payments for
government bonds, and keep the liquidity in the banking system at a reasonable
and ample level before Chinese New Year, the PBOC said.
     - The 7-day weighted average interbank repo rate for depository
institutions (DR007) fell to 2.6065% at 09:46 a.m. local time from the close of
2.6907% on Thursday: Wind Information.
     - The CFETS-NEX money-market sentiment index closed at 43 on Thursday vs 53
on Wednesday. A lower index indicates reduced market expectations for tighter
liquidity.
