China’s central bank said liquidity in the financial system was at a “reasonable level” on Monday, in its first direct comments since the country’s “credit crunch” began two weeks ago.

…In a separate statement, the PBoC said it would not cut the Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) to inject more liquidity into the banking system.

The People’s Bank of China said the nation should “appropriately fine-tune” its policies, according to a statement yesterday that summarized the monetary policy committee’s second-quarter meeting in Beijing. The monetary authority gauged demand for sales of repurchase agreements and reverse repo contracts this morning, according to a trader at a primary dealer required to bid at the auctions.
