English term or phrase: front-end rates
In fact, the PBoC disappointed again in April in keeping its policy rates unchanged for the fourth straight month and cutting the RRR less than expected.
That said, interbank liquidity conditions have loosened further, with front-end rates plunging.
Meanwhile, the PBoC has turned its focus to transmission, guiding banks to extend loans and relax their lending requirements.

Explanation:
Le ratio dette-revenu est une comparaison des paiements mensuels de la dette par rapport au revenu mensuel. Autrement dit, il s’agit du rapport entre le montant que vous devez payer et le montant que vous gagnez.

Merci Raphael
C'est la réponse qui me semble correcte. Ratio prêt-revenu ou ratio dette-revenu. L'expression en anglais est le plus souvent "loan-to-income ratio".

Explanation:
En fait, la PBoC a de nouveau déçu en avril en maintenant ses taux directeurs inchangés pour le quatrième mois consécutif et en réduisant le RRR moins que prévu. Cela dit, les conditions de liquidité interbancaire se sont encore assouplies, les taux d'intérêt initiaux plongeant. Pendant ce temps, la PBoC s'est concentrée sur la transmission, guidant les banques pour accorder des prêts et assouplir leurs exigences de prêt.

disagree  Daryo: Have you noticed that the text is about a central bank? It's a rate fixed by the central bank NOT some rate they monitor.

  -> You don't get it! Central banks pay attention to the yield curve to define their reference rates.. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/06/05/what-is-y...

Reference: front-end rates // The People’s Bank of China (PBOC)

Reference information:
China provided medium-term funding to banks and cut the interest rate it charges for the money as officials sought to cushion the economy from the coronavirus outbreak.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) offered 200 billion yuan (US$28.6 billion) of one-year medium-term loans on Monday. The rate was lowered by 10 basis points to 3.15 per cent.

The central bank also added 100 billion yuan of funds with seven-day reverse repurchase agreements. Some 1 trillion yuan (US$143 billion) of reverse repos are due Monday, resulting in a net 700 billion yuan (US$100 billion) withdrawal.

“The injection is relatively small,” said Becky Liu, head of China macro strategy at Standard Chartered Bank, adding the operation will reduce incentives to chase Chinese government and policy bank bonds. “It means the PBOC does not intend to further lower front-end rates from here. I think rates will stay range bound until further catalysts are there.”


front-end rates = interest rates charged by The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) on one-year medium-term loans TO BANKS

https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3050906/c...

These **interest** rates are probably called "front-end" because that same money is in the next stage used by banks for commercial lending to businesses. So the "front-end" of that chain of lending would be the central bank lending money to commercial banks.

another clue:

With lending volumes to clients still relatively low, banks have little ability to use these reserves other than to purchase USTs, agencies and other eligible instruments as regulatory-defined High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA), which in turn has driven down front-end rates for those sectors

disagree  Francois Boye: Your explanation of front end rates are unclear: In the text submitted by Asker, those rates are short term ( you are right!), but they reflect the interbank liquidity.market. The POBC can impact such a market, but does not control it.

  -> It's not an explanation, it's just a first hypothesis. I have no time for more digging. OTOH it certainly has nothing to do with consumer credits nor "loan-to-income ratio" - not in year os Sundays.
