一、前利率走势的理论研判 近年来，我国利率下行趋势明显。种种迹象表明，我国利率正处于长期下行通道，形成持续期较长的低 利率环境。对于我国利率下行问题，究竟该如何判断？银行又将面临哪些机遇和挑战？笔者结合马克思 利率理论，参考日本的案例，试图给出一些理性回答，以供业界参考。 马克思研究揭示，利息是贷出资本的资本家从接入资本的资本家那里分割出来的一部分剩余价值，而利 润是剩余价值的转化形式。利息只是利润的一部分，其最高限额是利润本身，其最低限额在零之上却全 然不能限定。利率则是利息与相应资本的比例，其高低第一取决于利润率，第二取决于总利润在贷者与 借者之间的分割比例，而这个比例往往由市场竞争决定。 马克思的研究深刻表明，实体经济的理论率是利率的根本性决定因素，在此基础上则受资金供给的丰裕 程度影响。实体经济的平均利润率高，则利率整体水平往往较高，反之则反是。即，经济繁荣阶段，实 体经济平均利润水平较高，投资机会较多，贷方对资金的需求旺盛，竞争的天平向着资金供给方倾斜， 因此利率水平往往走高。在经济下行压力较大的阶段，实体经济的平均利润水平较低，投资机会较少， 贷方对资金的有效需求不足，竞争的天平则向着资金需求方倾 ...
