China keeps lending benchmark unchanged but Q2 easing expected


SHANGHAI: China kept its benchmark interest rate for corporate and household lending unchanged on Monday, as expected, although analysts say the case for monetary stimulus is building amid mounting external risks to an already slowing economy.

The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was held at 3.70% while the five-year LPR remained at 4.60%.
