1 受访人：东方金诚首席宏观分析师 王青 研究发展部总监 冯琳 10 月 MLF 操作简评 10 月 MLF 操作利率保持不变，主要原因是 9 月 24 日央行宣布降息安排后， 9 月 25 日 MLF 操作利率已大幅度下调了 30 个基点，也就是说 10 月 MLF 操作利 率已先期进行了下调，而且也基本降到了相应的银行同业存单到期收益率附近。 这是本月 LPR 报价下调而 MLF 操作利率持稳的主要原因。 10 月 MLF 操作规模为 7000 亿，当月 MLF 到期量为 7890 亿，是年初以来的 最大到期规模。这意味着当月实施小幅缩量操作，也基本符合市场预期。背后是 9 月 27 日央行降准释放资金 1 万亿，金融机构对 10 月 MLF 操作的需求会相应有 所下降。需要指出的是，当月操作规模仍然较高，缩量幅度不大，旨在保持银行 体系流动性处于合理充裕状态，叠加近期明确的大行资本补充安排，都会支持商 业银行在四季度加大信贷投放力度——我们判断，10 月起新增银行贷款将恢复 同比多增。这是当前提振经济增长动能不可或缺的一个重要发力点。 展望未来，年内 MLF 操作利率将保持稳定。主要原因是 9 月政策利 ...
