Australian central bank pumps $3.64b into the banking system
The amount was larger than the intended $1.5b (A$2.5b).
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has allotted $3.64b (A$5.9b) into the country’s banking system as panic selling spurred by COVID-19 threatened to drain liquidity and hike borrowing costs, reports Reuters.
The amount was larger than the $1.5b (A$2.5b) that was originally intended.
This comes after the injection of $5.4b (A$8.8b) on Friday, which granted commercial banks with $6.5b (A$10.7b) in surplus cash.
The RBA said it will be holding one-month and three-months repurchase operations until further notice.
Here’s more from Reuters.
