Group 3: Future Outlook - The adjustments in deposit rates are anticipated to lead to a decrease in overall deposit rates by approximately 0.11-0.13 percentage points, which may help stabilize banks' net interest margins [13]. - Despite the downward pressure on net interest margins, it is expected that the decline will not continue indefinitely, as measures to control funding costs are taking effect [12][13]. - The shift in deposit rates may also influence the allocation of bank assets towards bonds, potentially increasing demand in the bond market [8][13].
