BEIJING nike air presto uk , Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank skipped open market operations Monday to maintain stable liquidity in the banking system.


Liquidity was at a "relatively high level," which can offset the influence from factors such as maturing reverse repos, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said on its website.


On Monday, reverse repos worth 40 billion yuan (about 63.5 billion U.S. dollars) matured.


A reverse repo is a process by which the central bank purchases securities from commercial banks through bidding, with an agreement to sell them back in the future.


The central bank has increasingly relied on open market operations for liquidity management, rather than cuts to interest rates or reserve requirement ratios.


China will maintain a prudent and neutral monetary policy in 2018 as the world's second-largest economy strives to balance growth with risk prevention.

Coaches Gurbaksh Sandhu, Sagar Dhayal and Blax Iglesias Fernandes and India's chef de mission Adile Sumariwala were also banned from AIBA events until further notice.


Devi protested against the scoring in her semifinal bout with a South Korean boxer in the women's 60-kilogram class in Incheon Asian Games in South Korea.


ABIDJAN, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- A total of 103 Cote d'Ivoire citizens arrived in Abidjan on Monday evening from Bangui, Central African Republic's capital.


They were received at the Abidjan airport by Cote d'Ivoire's Foreign Minister Charles Diby Koffi and his colleague for African integration and the diaspora, Ally Coulibaly.


A second group of 100 people is expected to arrive in Abidjan on Tuesday.


The evacuees, mostly born Central African Republic, returned to their homeland on a special flight of the national carrier Air Cote d'Ivoire chartered by the Cote d'Ivoire government.


Speaking on behalf of the evacuees, Hamed N'guessan said the country of his "childhood" was on the verge of being ruined.


"Life has stopped in Bangui, cases of looting, rape and torture characterize the new life," he told reporters, noting that he was "happy" to find himself in Cote d'Ivoire, his country which he had never seen before.


Humanitarian sources have indicated that inter-ethnic violence between Christian militias and ex-Seleka rebels, most of whom are Muslims, has left at least 1,000 people dead in Bangui since Dec. 5.
