Starting on Jan. 1, financial institutions will be prohibited from signing floating-rate loan contracts based on the previous benchmark bank lending rate, the People’s Bank of China said in a statement on its website. From March 1, financial institutions will negotiate with customers on terms for converting the pricing benchmark on their loan contracts into the LPR, the central bank said.
In August, the PBOC started using the revamped LPR as a new benchmark for pricing new loans, in a bid to steer borrowing costs lower to support the slowing economy.
