China’s PBOC Loan Prime Rate (贷款市场报价利率, LPR) history — the 1-year and 5-year benchmark lending rates, each with its official reference/announcement date. Published monthly on the 20th (or next business day) by the National Interbank Funding Center under PBOC authorization. The 1-year rate anchors most corporate and consumer loans; the 5-year rate anchors mortgages. Returns up to the last 12 monthly announcements (chinamoney.com.cn does not expose history deeper than ~1 year via this endpoint) plus a latest field for the most recent print. Answers “what is the current PBOC LPR”, “China’s 1-year and 5-year loan prime rate history”, “when did the PBOC last cut the LPR”. Keyless, sourced live from chinamoney.com.cn.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`months`	number	no	How many of the most recent monthly rows to return, 1-12 (default 12). The upstream only exposes a rolling ~1-year window, so values above 12 are capped at 12.
