China has raised interest rates for the second time this year, as it struggles to keep inflation in check.
The 0.25% rise takes the one-year deposit and lending rates to 3.25% and 6.31% respectively, the BBC reports.
The central bank is concerned that parts of China's economy may be overheating.
Consumer prices rose 4.9% in February compared with the same month a year ago, with food prices alone surging by 11%.
