BEIJING—China raised interest rates for the first time since emerging from the financial crisis, in a surprise move that highlights the widening gap in the world economy between economically vibrant developing countries and the rich nations trying to fend off stagnation.
The People's Bank of China said Tuesday that it increased the benchmark one-year interest rate on loans and deposits by a quarter of a percentage point. The move is the first adjustment to interest rates since December 2008, when the central bank cut them by 0.27 percentage point as part of a stimulus package to combat the effects of the global financial crisis. The last increase in interest rates was in December 2007, when inflation was over 6%.
