PBOC data show May new corporate loans (domestic and foreign‑currency) had a weighted‑average rate of about 3.0%, roughly 25bp lower YoY. Since H2 2018 authorities have cut the reserve requirement ratio 18 times, supplying ongoing medium‑ to long‑term liquidity; benchmark policy rates have been cut 10 times over the same period, totaling 115bp.
