"如果卢比会说话，它一定会请假休息一年，因为2025年卢比是如假包换的全亚洲最差货币……" "（印度卢比）是今年亚洲表现最糟糕的货币，在全球最差货币中也名列前茅。" 以上内容来自印度发行量最大、历史最悠久的英文日报《印度时报》的报道，而最近关于印度卢比"拉 胯"表现的讨论还有不少。 今年以来，印度卢比已累计贬值5.5%，卢比对美元汇率跌至历史新低。多家财经媒体对印度总理莫 迪"卢比国际化"的梦想表达了担忧，比较含蓄的说法是"前路坎坷"，耿直者则干脆直言"不切实际的想 法还是放在一边吧"。 如此"关税大棒"砸碎了国际社会对印度市场的信心：根据花旗研报的估算，此轮关税可能导致印度国内 生产总值（GDP）年度增长率调降0.6个至0.8个百分点；摩根士丹利股票市场数据则显示，明晟 （MSCI）印度指数已连续4个月跑输MSCI新兴市场指数，"今年以来的相对表现落后超过15个百分点， 正走向20多年来最差的相对年度表现"。多家机构纷纷将这一走势归因于"印美贸易协定失败"，认为"莫 迪政府未能有效保护本土市场"。 资本外流也是个大问题。印度当前面临的外资撤离压力急剧增加。统计显示，2024/2025财年（2024年4 月至 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles is that a "rate cut wave" has spread to small and medium-sized banks, resulting in historically low deposit rates across the banking sector [1][7] - Major banks have reduced their deposit rates significantly, with the one-year fixed deposit rate falling below 1% for the first time in history, now at 0.95% [1][7] - The interest rates for various fixed deposit terms have been adjusted downwards, with the three-year rate decreasing from 1.5% to 1.25% and the five-year rate now at 1.3% [1][7] Group 2 - The impact of these rate cuts can be illustrated with a hypothetical example of a 1 million yuan deposit over five years, showing a significant decrease in interest earnings from 200,000 yuan in 2020 to only 75,000 yuan by 2024 [3][4] - The cumulative effect of these rate reductions is likened to a slow and painful loss, where depositors may not immediately notice the impact until it becomes substantial [5][4] - The trend of rate cuts typically starts with large commercial banks, followed by joint-stock banks, and finally small and medium-sized banks, which tend to have higher rates due to their weaker brand image and deposit absorption capabilities [8][9] Group 3 - The phenomenon of "deposit special forces," where individuals would travel to different cities to find better deposit rates, is diminishing as current rates make such efforts impractical [10][11] - The articles emphasize the importance of understanding the three key attributes of financial products: yield, safety, and liquidity, which are crucial for making informed investment decisions [13][14][15] - Strategies for managing finances in a low-interest-rate environment include both "staying within banks" with safer products and "venturing outside banks" into various investment options [22][24]
