最新一期LPR（贷款市场报价利率）报价如期而至。8月20日，人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心公布新版LPR报价，其中1年期品种报3.0%，5年期以 上品种报3.5%，均较上月保持不变。截至目前，LPR报价连续三个月保持不动。此外，当天人民银行公开市场开展6160亿元7天期逆回购操作，操作利率 1.40%，同样与此前保持一致。 银行主动压降LPR加点动力不足 而在前一天8月19日，人民银行同样以固定利率、数量招标方式开展了5803亿元逆回购操作。Wind数据显示，该日有1146亿元逆回购到期，操作后实现净投 放4657亿元。 梳理人民银行官网披露的数据，能看到近日人民银行7天期逆回购操作规模明显增加。 8月两个期限品种的LPR报价保持不变，符合市场预期。 业内认为，主要原因在于，8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变化，另外，近期市场利率有所上行，在商业银行净息差处于 历史最低点的背景下，报价行也缺乏主动下调LPR报价加点的动力。 实际上，LPR已连续三个月按兵不动，自今年5月，LPR报价跟随逆回购利率下调10个基点后，政策进入成效观察期。 中信证券首席经济学家明明告诉北京商报记者，目 ...

国家金融与发展实验室特聘高级研究员庞溟对中新社记者表示，自5月8日以来央行政策利率(公开市场7 天期逆回购操作利率)并未调整，本次LPR报价维持不变符合市场预期。央行在5月加大逆周期调节力度 出台实施的一揽子金融支持举措，其传导渠道和成效影响也需时观察。 王青认为，受多重因素影响，7月宏观经济数据波动下行，接下来外需有可能放缓。未来在大力提振内 需、采取有力措施巩固房地产市场止跌回稳态势过程中，政策利率及LPR报价有下调空间。该机构预 计，四季度初前后央行有可能实施新一轮降息降准，并带动两个期限品种的LPR报价跟进下调。 他指出，最新的宏观数据和信贷数据显示，企业部门和居民部门的信贷需求较为疲弱。8月份LPR"按兵 不动"，可以更好地配合后续推出的各项政策措施，更好地处理支持实体经济与保持银行体系自身健康 性的关系，也可以留够政策空间以推动房地产市场止跌回稳。 (责任编辑：王擎宇) 中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心20日公布最新一期贷款市场报价利率(LPR)：1年期LPR为 3.0%，5年期以上LPR为3.5%。两个期限品种的LPR均连续三个月保持不变。 东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青指出，LPR报价连续三 ...

"从根本上说，LPR报价连续三个月保持不动，主要源于上半年宏观经济稳中偏强，短期内通过引导 LPR报价下调强化逆周期调节的必要性不高，当前处于政策观察期。"王青说。 期货日报网讯(记者曲德辉见习记者肖佳煊)中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心今日公布，2025 年8月贷款市场报价利率(LPR)为：1年期LPR为3.0%，上月为3.0%；5年期以上LPR为3.5%，上月为 3.5%。以上LPR在下一次发布LPR之前有效。 中国人民银行日前发布的《2025年第二季度中国货币政策执行报告》显示，上半年货币政策逆周期调节 效果较为明显，金融总量平稳增长，社会融资成本处于低位，信贷结构不断优化，人民币汇率在合理均 衡水平上保持基本稳定。报告同时明确了下一阶段货币政策的主要思路：落实落细适度宽松的货币政 策。 "8月两个期限品种的LPR报价保持不变，符合市场预期。"东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青在接受期货日 报记者采访时表示，8月以来政策利率(央行7天期逆回购利率)保持稳定，意味着当月LPR报价的定价基 础没有变化，已在很大程度上预示8月LPR报价会保持不动。另外，受反内卷牵动市场预期等影响，近 期市场利率有所上行，在商业 ...
