China Holds LPR Steady for 8th Month
The People's Bank of China (PBoC) left its benchmark interest rates for corporate and household loans steady for the eighth straight month at its December fixing, in line with market consensus, as the economy continues to recover from the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was left unchanged at 3.85%, while the five-year remained at 4.65%. The decision came after the central bank made its largest-ever injection of medium-term funds last week to shore up liquidity. For the year, the one-year LPR was down a total of 30 bps of rate cuts, and the five-year rate was slashed by 15 bps of two cuts. Xinhua news agency reported that China will maintain policy support for its economic recovery, avoiding a sudden shift in policy, to help keep economic growth within a reasonable range in 2021.
