SHANGHAI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - ‌China's ​central ​bank said on Wednesday that it would inject up to 1 ‌trillion yuan ($149 billion) per day via ⁠short-term liquidity tools around the turn of the ‌month as the Golden ‌Week holiday nears.

The People's Bank of China said in a statement it ​would conduct overnight reverse repo operations from September 28 to October 8 "to ⁠meet short-term liquidity needs in the banking system".

The bank ​did not say on which days it would conduct the operations, or ​disclose the borrowing cost. ‌Liquidity demand typically rises ahead of holidays in China.

China's interbank ⁠bond market will be closed from October 1 to October 7 for the National ⁠Day holiday, according to its website. The interbank ​market will also be closed from September 25 to September 27 for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

China's stock ‌market will also be closed for the holidays and will ‌resume trading on October 8 following ⁠the Golden Week, ‌according to exchange ​websites.
