The data released yesterday showed that the LPR for the one-year period in June was 3.7%, and the LPR for the period of more than 5 years was 4.45%.
The chief economist of CITIC Securities clearly believes that there is still room for a downward adjustment in the LPR in the later stage. At present, the regulatory authorities continue to guide and reduce the cost of bank liabilities. As the cost of bank liabilities falls, it is expected to drive down LPR. Since the beginning of the year, my country’s actual loan interest rates have declined, and it is expected that the LPR will be further reduced in the second half of the year, especially in more than five years.
