BEIJING, June 7 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank on Saturday ordered banks to set aside more money as reserve, the fifth such move this year, in the latest effort to enhance liquidity management in the banking system.

The reserve requirement ratio would be raised by 0.5 percentage point on June 15, and another 0.5 percentage point on June 25, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in a statement on its website.

This will bring reserve requirement ratio to a record high of 17 percent.
