China's central bank reduced its medium-term borrowing cost on Wednesday, in an attempt to mitigate the downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The People's Bank of China on Wednesday said it trimmed the one-year medium-term lending facility, or MLF, rate to 2.95 percent from 3.15 percent. The bank injected CNY 100 billion through the MLF operation.
In March, the PBoC had reduced the reserve requirement ratio for qualified banks and the reverse repo rate.
