Core Viewpoint - Some experts believe that after the recent structural "interest rate cut" by the central bank, the timing for a comprehensive interest rate cut this year may be postponed [1] Group 1 - The chief economist of CITIC Securities, Mingming, indicated that the structural "interest rate cut" has already reduced the cost of liabilities for commercial banks to a certain extent [1] - The urgency for a total interest rate cut is not high, especially considering that credit growth is typically high at the beginning of the year [1]

与此同时，企业融资和居民信贷成本均保持低位运行。数据显示，2025年12月，新发放企业贷款加权平 均利率和新发放个人住房贷款加权平均利率均大约为3.1%，自2018年下半年以来，分别下降了2.5个和 2.6个百分点。 部分专家认为，在近期央行结构性"降息"后，今年全面降息时点可能后移。中信证券首席经济学家明明 表示，考虑到结构性"降息"对商业银行负债成本已有一定程度的压降，叠加年初信贷往往高增，总量降 息的紧迫性不高。 ● 本报记者 彭扬 中国人民银行授权全国银行间同业拆借中心公布2026年1月20日贷款市场报价利率（LPR），1年期LPR 为3.0%，5年期以上LPR为3.5%，均较上期维持不变。这也是LPR连续第8个月维持不变。 专家认为，今年第一期LPR继续"按兵不动"符合预期。从LPR报价机制看，作为LPR定价主要参考的7天 期逆回购操作利率并未发生变化，因此LPR较难下降。 "7天逆回购利率和LPR可能适时下调，稳息差是重要考量，降低银行负债成本先行。"兴业研究宏观市 场部高级研究员何帆认为，考虑到今年一季度是贷款重定价和存款到期较为集中的时点，出于稳息差的 考虑，人民银行首先下调了再贷款利率，这有 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the stability of the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) in early 2026, indicating that the current monetary policy environment is not conducive to immediate rate cuts, despite some structural easing measures being implemented [3][4][5]. Group 1: LPR Stability - The 1-year LPR remains at 3.0% and the 5-year LPR at 3.5%, consistent with market expectations due to stable policy rates and banks' historical low net interest margins [4][5]. - The LPR has remained unchanged for eight consecutive months since a 10 basis point reduction in May 2025, reflecting a lack of motivation for banks to lower their LPR quotes further [3][4][6].
