Summary by Sections Subsidy Details - The subsidy policy is not universal; it has specific rules based on consumption amount and purpose. A key threshold is set at 50,000 yuan, where consumers can receive up to a 1% interest subsidy for loans below this amount [2]. - For loans exceeding 50,000 yuan, subsidies are limited to specific categories such as car purchases, home renovations, and travel, with a cap of 5,000 yuan on the subsidy amount [2].

Participating Institutions - The subsidy program includes a mix of traditional banks and internet financial platforms, allowing consumers to access loans through various channels like Alipay and WeChat [12].
