MLF

    中期借贷便利

    中国人民银行周二对22家金融机构开展MLF操作共2455亿元，其中6个月1385亿元、1年期1070亿元，中标利率分别为2.95%、3.1%，分别较上期上升10基点。请看本报昨日的报道：

    China's central bank Tuesday raised the interest rate on a key liquidity tool, the medium-term lending facility (MLF), as it rolled over maturing loans, triggering a fall in prices of benchmark bond futures.

    The People's Bank of China (PBOC) pushed up the interest rate for one-year MLFs by 10 basis points, taking it to 3.1 percent, it said in a statement. It also increased the rate on the six-month tenor by 10 basis points to 2.95 percent.

    报道中的MLF就是“中期借贷便利”，于2014年9月由中国人民银行创设，是央行提供中期基础货币的工具，对象为部分商业银行和政策性银行，借款方需提供国债、央行票据、政策性金融债、高等级信用债等优质债券作为质押。
