中國再度加息爲通貨膨脹降溫
China has again raised interest rates in an effort to control economic growth and limit inflationary pressure.
The People's Bank of China raised its main interest rate for loans by a quarter of a percentage point, to 6.06 percent. The basic interest paid on bank deposits increased by a quarter of a point, to 3 percent from 2.75 percent.
It was the latest in a series of increases to rates, and the bank surprised some economists by announcing the rate increase on the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday.
China announced last month that the country's economy grew by 10.3 percent last year, and inflation reached a 28-month high in November.
中國再次提高利率，力圖控制經濟增長，減少通貨膨脹壓力。
中國人民銀行把一年期貸款基準利率上調0.25個百分點，達到6.06%。一年期存款基準利率上調0.25個百分點，從2.75%上調到3%。
這是一系列提高利率舉措中的最新一次。人民銀行在農曆新年節日最後一天宣佈上調利率使一些經濟學家感到意外。
中國上個月宣佈，中國經濟去年增長了10.3%，通貨膨脹在去年11月達到了28個月以來的最高水平。
