China's central bank announced on Monday that it will conduct a 1-trillion-yuan (about 141.15 billion U.S. dollars), one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) operation on Tuesday to maintain ample liquidity in the country's banking system.
The People's Bank of China said the MLF operation will be conducted using a fixed-quantity, interest-rate-bidding and multiple-price-bidding method.
The MLF 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.
