Deputy Governor Zou Lan told a State Council press briefing the PBOC’s toolkit
is broad, including the required reserve ratio (RRR), reverse repos, the
medium-term lending facility (MLF) and government bond operations. She said RRR
adjustments primarily supply longer-term liquidity, while reverse repos and the
MLF target short- to medium-term liquidity. The central bank will appropriately
select and combine these tools based on liquidity management needs.
