BEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank conducted 328.2 billion yuan (about 45.6 billion U.S. dollars) of seven-day reverse repos at an interest rate of 1.5 percent Thursday.

The move aims to keep liquidity in the banking system adequate at a reasonable level, the central bank said.

A reverse repo is a process in which the central bank purchases securities from commercial banks through bidding, with an agreement to sell them back in the future.
