The People's Bank of China left its Loan Prime Rates (LPRs) unchanged, as was expected.
- 1-year LPR at 3.35%
- 5-year LPR at 3.85%
Both were lowered by 10bp in July. Most new and outstanding loans in China are based on the one-year LPR, while the five-year rate influences the pricing of mortgages.
