● 本报记者 彭扬 "总体来看，接下来央行会综合运用买断式逆回购、MLF两项政策工具，持续向市场注入中期流动 性。"王青说。 2025年第三季度中国货币政策执行报告提出，根据经济金融形势的变化，做好逆周期和跨周期调节，持 续营造适宜的货币金融环境。 王青分析，11月中期流动性净投放仍处于较高水平的原因有三方面：一是10月安排5000亿元地方政府债 务结存限额，用于化解存量债务及扩大有效投资，意味着年底前会加发5000亿元地方债，11月政府债券 净融资规模会有明显上升；二是10月5000亿元新型政策性金融工具投放完毕，在带动当月委托贷款走高 后，后续还会带动配套中长期贷款较快投放；三是11月银行同业存单到期量明显增加。"这些因素在一 定程度上收紧了银行体系流动性，需要央行给予流动性支持。"王青说。 "在岁末年初之际，央行通过多种货币政策工具维持市场流动性充裕，进而引导金融机构加大信贷投 放，及时又必要。"招联首席研究员董希淼表示，目前，央行中短期流动性的投放方式已基本固定，即 每月5日前后开展3个月期买断式逆回购、15日前后开展6个月期买断式逆回购、25日开展MLF操作，为 保持市场流动性充裕提供有力支持。 货 ...
