The funds will mature in one year at an interest rate of 3.3
percent.
The MLF tool was introduced in 2014 to help commercial and
policy banks maintain liquidity by allowing them to borrow from the central
bank using securities as collateral.
The People's Bank of China increasingly relies on open-market
operations, rather than changes in interest rates or reserve requirement
ratios, to manage liquidity in a more flexible and targeted manner.
China will maintain a prudent and neutral monetary policy in
2018 as it strives to balance growth and risk prevention.
