The People's Bank of China lowered its key loan prime rates (LPR) at August fixing, the second reduction this year, as the board stepped up efforts to revive borrowing demand amid repeated COVID-19 outbreaks and lingering property downturn. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR), which uses for corporate and household loans, was cut by 5 bps to a record low of 3.65%, while the 5-year LPR, which influences the pricing of home mortgages, was slashed for the second time this year by 15 bps to 4.30%. The move came after the central bank last week unexpectedly trimmed the one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) rate and another short-term liquidity tool after July data showed the Chinese economy was losing momentum amid slowing global growth.
