China to cut policy rate by 0.1 pp from May 8
China's central bank will cut the rate for the seven-day reverse repos by 0.1 percentage point (pp) from tomorrow. The rate will be 1.4 per cent post adjustment. The move is aimed at better implementing the moderately-loose monetary policy and enhance support for the real economy, the bank said. Starting tomorrow, the interest rates for the standing lending facility will also be reduced by 0.1 pp.
