“刚降了10个基点”！多家银行下调存款利率

Core Viewpoint - The recent trend of banks, including Jiangsu Bank and various village and city commercial banks, is to lower deposit interest rates in response to intense industry competition and declining loan rates, which is putting pressure on net interest margins [1][3][4]. Group 1: Deposit Rate Adjustments - Jiangsu Bank has reduced its three-year fixed deposit rate from 1.85% to 1.75%, a decrease of 10 basis points [1][3]. - Several small and medium-sized banks have also announced adjustments to their deposit rates, with some rates dropping by 10 to 20 basis points [3]. - The current deposit rates for Shengjing Bank are 1.4% for six months, 1.5% for one year, and 1.95% for three years, indicating a potential for future reductions [3]. Group 2: Net Interest Margin Pressure - The banking industry's net interest margin is under significant pressure, with commercial banks reporting a net interest margin of 1.42% in Q2 2025, down 0.01 percentage points from Q1 [4]. - Large commercial banks and joint-stock banks have seen a decline in their net interest margins, while city and rural commercial banks have maintained their margins [4]. - The latest one-year and five-year LPR rates remain unchanged, but there is speculation about potential downward adjustments in the future to stimulate demand and stabilize the real estate market [4]. Group 3: Liability Management Strategies - Banks are focusing on liability management and stabilizing net interest margins, with examples like Changshu Bank actively optimizing their deposit structure and controlling high-cost long-term deposits [5]. - In May, the six major state-owned banks collectively announced reductions in RMB deposit rates, with one-year and two-year rates down by 15 basis points and three-year and five-year rates down by 25 basis points [5].
