The People's Bank of China (PBOC), the central bank, will issue a total of 51 billion yuan ($7.58 billion) one-year bills on Tuesday, up 11 billion yuan from last week's issuance and the biggest in seven successive weeks, Shanghai Securities News reported.

A total of 65.5 billion yuan worth of bills will mature this week, but Tuesday's issuance will soak up about 80 percent of the liquidity, which will lead to a net withdrawal as a result, and the amount of withdrawals may even go up.

PBOC's continuing net withdrawal has not affected the liquidity of the market, the newspaper said.
