» The People's Bank of China introduced a new electronic trading system for commercial paper on Nov. 2 , intended to help manage liquidity and track fund flows.
» The central bank will be one of the major users of the system, which is likely to become an important tool for its open market operations.
» PBOC Deputy Governor Su Ning said that the electronic system will significantly reduce and even eliminate operational risks of the paper-based transaction system. It will also reduce costs for businesses and improve the formation of a unified national market for commercial paper.
» So far, 11 national banks, two urban commercial banks, three rural financial institutions and four finance firms have begun to use the system, the central bank said.
