On November 25, the People’s Bank of China announced that it decided to reduce the deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 0.25 percentage points on December 5, 2022 (excluding financial institutions that have implemented a 5% deposit reserve ratio). The RRR cut released a total of about 500 billion yuan of long-term funds, reducing the capital cost of financial institutions by about 5.6 billion yuan per year.
The CICC research report believes that the main reason for this RRR cut is to maintain the stability of the capital market and bond market, ease the liquidity pressure on banks, and support steady growth. The long-term low-cost funds brought about by RRR cuts will help stabilize market expectations.
However, the Zhang Yu team of Huachuang Macro believes that only the RRR cut is not enough, and the LPR cut needs the help of interest rate cuts. Zhang Yu pointed out that the RRR cut has little effect on reducing debt costs. In the context of the current historically low net interest margin of commercial banks themselves, the cost reduction of 5.6 billion may not be enough to support the reduction of LPR.
At the same time, the data shows that from January to October, the growth rate was 7.6%, but the profit fell by 3% year-on-year. Zhu Hong, a senior statistician from the Industry Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, pointed out that the recent domestic epidemics have spread frequently, the risk of a global economic recession has intensified, and industrial enterprises are facing greater pressure to recover their profits.
