China’s Central Bank to Run Overnight Reverse Repos Sept 28-Oct 8, Cap at 1 Trillion Yuan Daily

The People’s Bank of China will conduct overnight reverse repo operations from Sept 28 to Oct 8, using fixed-rate, quantity-based tenders, with a daily cap of 1 trillion yuan. The central bank said the move is aimed at better matching short-term liquidity demand in the banking system. The operations span the National Day holiday period.

The choice of overnight rather than longer tenors, and a stated daily cap, points to a liquidity-calibration exercise around a holiday rather than a change in policy stance. The window spans the National Day break, when cash demand and settlement cycles typically diverge from normal, so the signal is operational: the PBOC wants a visible ceiling on how much short-term funding it supplies. Whether the cap is actually tested, and how the operation interacts with holiday-season funding conditions, is the open question.
