The reserve requirement ratio (RRR) was cut by 0.5 points.
That brings the requirement, which is an important measure of how much money Chinese banks are able to lend, to 17.5%. Cuts to the RRR are designed to free up the banking system to lend more.

The benchmark interest rate was cut by 0.25%, bringing it down from 4.6% to 4.35%.
