China's Central Bank cut interest rate to boost economy
The five-year loan prime rate was lowered to 4.45% from 4.6%, the People's Bank of China said in a statement on Friday.
It has been the second reduction this year as China seeks to revive the country's ailing housing sector to prop up the economy.
The PBOC decided to keep the one-year LPR unchanged at 3.7%, according to the statement. (ILKHA)
