The People's Bank of China (PBoC) kept its key lending rates unchanged for the third straight month at November fixing, amid continued downward pressure on the yuan and a slowdown in economic activity due to rising COVID cases and restrictions or lockdowns in several cities. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR), which uses for corporate and household loans, was kept at 3.65%; while the five-year rate, a reference for mortgages, was maintained at 4.3%. Lowering interest rates to revive the slowing economy could further widen China’s monetary policy against major economies, especially the US, which could trigger capital outflows. The central bank last week maintained its medium-term policy rate at 2.75% while partially rolling over maturing loans. China last cut both LPRs in August to support the economy. source: People's Bank of China

China Loan Prime Rate
The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) on August 17th, 2019, designated the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) the new lending benchmark for new bank loans to households and businesses, replacing the central bank’s benchmark one-year lending rate. The rate is based on a weighted average of lending rates from 18 commercial banks, which will submit their LPR quotations, based on what they have bid for PBOC liquidity in open market operations, to the national interbank funding center before 9am CST on the 20th of every month.

China Holds Loan Prime Rate Steady
The People's Bank of China kept its key lending rates unchanged for a second straight month at October fixing, amid a rapid decline in the yuan and as policymakers tried to avoid stark policy divergence with other major economies. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR), which uses for corporate and household loans, was kept at 3.65%; while the five-year rate, a reference for mortgages, was maintained at 4.3%. In August, China cut benchmark interest rates following a resurgence of COVID-19 cases and a lingering property downturn. The central bank earlier this week maintained its medium-term policy rate at 2.75% while offering no injection or withdrawal from the banking system. The PBoC drained a net CNY 200 billion yuan each in August and September.

China Holds LPR Lending Benchmark Unchanged
The People's Bank of China kept steady its key rates for corporate and household loans at September fixing, as widely expected, amid a rapid decline in yuan. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was held unchanged at 3.65%; while the five-year rate, a reference for mortgages, was maintained at 4.3%. The move came after the central bank last week maintained its medium-term policy rate while draining some liquidity from the banking system. The board on Monday, meanwhile, lowered the borrowing cost of 14-day reverse repos from 2.25% to 2.15% to revive credit and prop up the slowing economy, resuming the tool operations for the first time since late January. In August, China cut key interest rates following a new wave of COVID-19 and a lingering property downturn.
