记者 辛圆 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3.00%，5年期以上LPR为3.50%，均较上月 保持不变。 LPR自今年5月下调之后，已有五个月按兵不动。 东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青对智通财经表示，10月两个期限品种的LPR报价保持不变，符合市场预期。首先，10月以来政策利率保持稳定，意味着当月 LPR报价的定价基础没有发生变化，已在很大程度上预示10月LPR报价会保持不动。 广开首席产业研究院首席金融研究员王运金也对智通财经表示，11-12月有较大的政策利率和LPR的下调需求与下调空间，有望下调10-30个基点，五年期 LPR下调幅度可能会更大。 王运金解释称，下调LPR仍是激发融资需求、稳定楼市预期的重要政策工具。另外，10月美联储降息概率较大，中美利差会相对缓解，人民币贬值压力减 轻，LPR下调空间扩大。 不过王青指出，受贸易转移效应持续发酵、上年同期基数变化等影响，出口增速加快，再加上年初财政政策已经加力，5月央行实施降息降准，三季度以来 货币政策总体上处于观察期。这是近期LPR报价保持稳定的根本原因。 分析师表示，近期外 ...
