China's reference lending rate remained unchanged on Monday, according to a statement on the People's Bank of China website, which was in line with market expectations as the central bank kept a key policy rate steady on March 15 amid robust credit expansion and an economic rebound.

The Loan Prime Rate, based on the rate of PBOC’s Medium-term Lending Facility and quotes submitted by 18 banks, remained at 3.65% for the one-year maturity and 4.3% for over-five-years. The PBOC offered a net CNY281 billion through a one-year MLF on March 15 with the rate unchanged at 2.75%, which was the largest monthly net injection since 2021 and was the eighth consecutive month the rate was unchanged.
