China leaves key loan rates unchanged
(Sharecast News) - China's central bank kept key lending rates unchanged for the third month in a row on Monday.
The People's Bank of China (PBoC) held the one-year loan prime rate at 3.1% for corporate and most household loans, and the five-year rate at 3.6% for mortgages.
In October 2024, the PBoCs slashed lending benchmarks in an attempt to boost the country's flagging economy.
