The People's Bank of China (PBoC) left its key lending rates unchanged for the fifth straight month at January fixing, as widely expected. The decision came on the last working day in China before the week-long Spring Festival holiday. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR), which uses for corporate and household loans, was kept unchanged at 3.65%; while the five-year rate, a reference for mortgages, was maintained at 4.3%. The central bank earlier in the week held steady its medium-term policy rate at 2.75% while offering more loans to some banks ahead of the Lunar New Year celebration. The PBoC in early January established a dynamic adjustment mechanism on mortgage rates for first-time home buyers. Meantime, PBoC's deputy governor Xuan Changneng recently said that the board had pledged to take further measures to boost market confidence and increase support for manufacturers and small companies, amid hopes that the economy will stage a solid rebound this year. . source: People's Bank of China

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.
