Economic Buzz: China keeps benchmark rates unchanged for ninth month
The People's Bank of China announced that it would maintain the 5-year LPR, which serves as the benchmark for mortgage loans, at 3.5%, and the 1-year LPR, which serves as the benchmark for general loans, at 3.0%.
The People's Bank of China cut both the 5-year and 1-year LPRs by 0.1 percentage point last May, after seven months of no change, as pressure for economic stimulus mounted amid tariff disputes with the Donald Trump administration in the United States. Since then, it has kept rates unchanged for nine consecutive months through this month.
