China central bank partially rolls over medium-term loans to boost liquidity


SHANGHAI: China's central bank partially rolled over maturing medium-term loans on Wednesday as it sought to boost liquidity, while market participants expected the central bank to implement more easing measures to help arrest the economic slowdown.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said it was keeping the rate on 500 billion yuan ($78.5 billion) worth of one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) loans steady for the 20th straight month in December at 2.95%.
