Central Bank of China slashes key rate again for economic boost

Posted on September 1, 2023   |  

China's central bank takes a second interest rate cut in three months to address ongoing economic challenges following the pandemic.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) lowered the 1-year loan prime rate from 3.55% to 3.45%.

Economic recovery in China faces obstacles due to a property crisis, declining exports, and subdued consumer spending.

PBOC's actions highlight China's determination for economic revival, in contrast to global rate hikes.

Challenges encompass a property market crisis, decreasing exports, deflation, and concerns about youth unemployment.
