根据最新报价，1年期LPR为3.0%，5年期以上LPR为3.5%，两个期限品种的LPR报价均是连续5个月保 持不变。在东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青看来，10月两个期限品种的LPR报价保持不变，符合市场预 期。 娄飞鹏认为，LPR连续第5个月保持不变，一方面是我国经济持续恢复，另一方面，商业银行融资成本 上行，同业存单到期收益率上行。同时，银行净息差本身已经处于低位并且仍然面临下行压力，报价行 主动压缩加点、下调LPR的动力显著不足。再者是贷款利率已处历史低位，政策观察期延续，暂无迫切 的进一步降息需求。 10月15日，央行发布前三季度金融数据表现相对良好，贷款利率持续保持低位水平。9月份企业新发放 贷款(本外币)加权平均利率约为3.1%，比上年同期低约40个基点；个人住房新发放贷款（本外币）加权 平均利率约为3.1%，比上年同期低约25个基点。此时，降低LPR报价或许并非当务之急。 21世纪经济报道记者 边万莉 10月LPR报价依然不变，维持了今年5月以来的利率水平。中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心 公布，2025年10月20日贷款市场报价利率（LPR）为：1年期LPR为3.0%，5年期以上LPR为3.5 ...
