--FILE--A pedestrian talks on her mobile phone as she walks past the headquarters and head office of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), China's central bank, in Beijing, China, 9 September 2014. The People¯s Bank of China was said to have added money to the banking system today (21 November 2014) as a cash shortage stemming from new share sales drove the benchmark money-market rate up by the most since July. The central bank supplied funds on a short-term basis, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified. Some 50 billion yuan ($8.2 billion) was offered using Short-term Liquidity Operations, Market News International reported earlier, citing three anonymous sources. Eleven companies are due to sell shares for the first time next week, seven of them on Monday, and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. estimates the sales will lock up at least 1 trillion yuan. The central bank will provide liquidity support through multiple monetary policy tools when necessary, according to a statement released today on its microblog. IPOs contributed to recent volatility in money markets and the banking system has ample funds, the PBOC said.
