非法存贷款中介乱象不断，成为金融领域"黑灰产"的主要表现之一。第一财经记者日前获悉，北京金融监管局在连续三年开展专项打击行动 基础上，今年加大力度，推出政策组合拳。 北京市企业主吴某的遭遇揭开了非法存贷款中介乱象的冰山一角。2023年，吴某接到一个贷款中介的营销电话，询问"最近是否有资金缺 口"，许诺"可快速代办低息贷款"。吴某因为企业的确资金紧张、经营困难，于是与中介公司多次沟通，对方再三承诺"只需要营业执照和身 份证，我们帮您优化收入流水"，同时明确表示"代办业务仅收取2个点的费用，银行贷款利率不超过5%"。 签订合同后，中介公司通过转让空壳公司、先行垫资、虚构申贷材料等非法手段，帮助吴某从某银行机构获批一笔600余万元的企业经营性 贷款。 然而，贷款到账当日，中介公司直接分笔扣划近百万元"服务费"，最终吴某仅获取信贷资金500万元左右。事情曝光以后，经过多方共同努 力，吴某虽追回部分中介费用，但债务压力仍然存在。 记者了解到，非法存贷款中介的套路主要有三类： 一是，虚假营销与低息诱惑， 常以"与银行合作""内部渠道"等名义，宣称"额度高、利率 低"，实则收取高额服务费，推高贷款成本；二是，违法包装骗贷， ...

Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China has drafted and released the "Interbank Market Brokerage Business Management Measures (Draft for Comments)" to regulate brokerage activities in the interbank market, consisting of 26 detailed provisions that prohibit brokerage institutions from participating in primary bond issuance and over-the-counter bond business [1][3]. Group 1: Overview of Brokerage Companies - Brokerage companies serve as intermediaries in financial market transactions, with their influence on interbank market trading increasing in recent years. In 2024, the trading volume through brokerage institutions in the interbank market is expected to reach 433 trillion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total market trading volume [2]. - The central bank's draft highlights that brokerage companies have become a hub connecting various market participants, significantly impacting secondary market information aggregation, pricing, trading efficiency, and market liquidity [2]. Group 2: Regulations and Requirements - The Measures comprehensively regulate brokerage business, including defining the types and scope of brokerage institutions, entry requirements, and risk isolation mandates. It also strengthens client qualification management, information disclosure, and communication tool usage [3][4]. - Brokerage institutions are required to provide services for transactions in interbank market bonds, repos, and derivatives but are prohibited from participating in primary bond issuance and over-the-counter bond business [5]. - Brokerage institutions must report to the central bank when entering the interbank market. Non-brokerage firms like securities companies must establish independent brokerage departments, ensuring strict separation from proprietary trading [6]. - The Measures mandate real-time, complete, and accurate public disclosure of optimal brokerage quotes and transaction information, enhancing transparency in the transaction process. Communication tools used by brokers must be strictly isolated from personal tools, with all communications recorded and retained for at least five years [6].

Core Viewpoint - The recent issuance of a 35 billion yuan secondary capital bond has highlighted the issue of extremely low underwriting fees in the bond underwriting market, prompting the China Interbank Market Dealers Association to initiate a self-regulatory investigation into the matter [1] Group 1: Underwriting Fee Issues - The total underwriting service fee for the six selected underwriters was only 63,448 yuan, averaging around 10,000 yuan per institution, indicating a "floor price" for bond underwriting [1] - The association's announcement on July 11 emphasized that if any parties violate self-regulatory rules during business operations, they will face self-regulatory actions [1] Group 2: Causes of Low Price Competition - Three main reasons for the low-price competition in bond underwriting are identified: 1. Institutions are focusing on "price for volume," where larger institutions dominate the market and engage in low-fee bidding to increase their underwriting scale and market ranking [2] 2. The evaluation criteria for bidding often prioritize price over service quality and risk management, encouraging underwriters to sacrifice reasonable profit margins [2] 3. Many institutions have a singular business structure, making bond underwriting a critical cash flow business, leading them to participate in low-margin bidding to maintain market share [2] Group 3: Long-term Consequences - While low-price competition may provide short-term market share, it risks long-term damage to the underwriting process, including: 1. Insufficient resource allocation for due diligence and risk assessment, potentially leading to increased bond defaults and harming investor interests [3] 2. The survival of compliant institutions is threatened, while aggressive bidders may resort to gray market practices, undermining healthy competition [3] 3. The core value of underwriters in facilitating effective capital allocation diminishes, as the process becomes a mere "channel" service [3] 4. A focus on price wars hampers innovation in product development, affecting the industry's ability to lead in areas like green bonds and ESG derivatives [3] Group 4: Recommendations for Improvement - To break the low-price competition cycle, a collaborative approach involving regulators and issuers is necessary, shifting the market focus from "who bids lower" to "who creates more value" [4] - This shift would help financial intermediaries escape the fee-centric mindset and rebuild a competitive landscape centered on quality and compliance, promoting the long-term health of the bond market [4]
