SHANGHAI: China’s current interest rates are “reasonable” and provide room for future policy action, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) says, adding to expectations it may resume lowering rates in coming months.

Real interest rates in the country are “slightly lower” than the pace of potential economic growth, the central bank said in a statement on its verified WeChat account.
