Central Bank Policy Rate release read

The 2026-01-20 Central Bank Policy Rate release printed 3. The previous reading was 3, while the forecast field is 3. Traders usually read this release against the recent trend, the People's Bank of China policy bias, and the surprise versus consensus.

The parent Central Bank Policy Rate page shows the full time series for China. This page narrows the record to the individual release, keeping the realised value, prior value, forecast field, announcement-date URL, and source payload together at one canonical URL.

For CNY event-risk work, the important read is whether this print changes the recent trend or simply extends it. Compare the actual value with the previous and forecast fields above, then use the raw JSON below for backtests keyed to the stable announcement ID.
