SHANGHAI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - China's central bank announced on Wednesday that it will inject up to 1 trillion yuan ($149 billion) per day through short-term liquidity tools around the turn of the month as the Golden Week holiday approaches. The People's Bank of China stated in a release that it would conduct overnight reverse repo operations from September 28 to October 8 to address the banking system's short-term liquidity requirements. The bank did not specify the exact days for these operations or the borrowing costs. Liquidity demand typically increases in China before holidays.
