1.
leaving as is; keeping unchanged; maintaining the status quo
Keeping something at its current level or state without changing it. Most commonly used for interest rates, prices, taxes, or policies that are maintained rather than raised or lowered.
From the verb 据え置く (to leave in place). Very common in financial and economic news. Common collocations: 金利据え置き (unchanged interest rate), 価格据え置き (price freeze), 据え置き期間 (grace period, deferment period — e.g., before loan repayment begins). Often appears as a compound modifier: 据え置き型 (stationary type, as opposed to portable).
