The PBOC cuts its one-year and five-year LPRs to record lows
  • The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has lowered its loan prime rates (LPRs) by 0.25 percent. The one-year LPR (a benchmark that banks use to set short-term lending rates) was cut to 3.1 percent p.a., while the five-year LPR (a benchmark used to set long-term lending rates, notably mortgages) was reduced to 3.6 percent p.a.
  • The main economic impact will still depend on fiscal stimulus, which is expected to become clearer between late October and early November 2024.
  • For the rest of 2024, the PBOC is likely to further reduce the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for commercial banks by 0.25-0.50 percent, according to a statement by the PBOC’s governor.
