The interest rate in China is managed by the People's Bank of China. The bank loan interest rate refers to the benchmark interest rate set by the People's Bank of China, and the actual contract interest rate can fluctuate within a certain range on the basis of the benchmark interest rate. The interest rate of loan contracts with banks and other financial institutions as lenders can only be determined through consultation within the upper and lower interest rate limits stipulated by the People's Bank of China. If the loan interest rate is high, the repayment amount of the borrower will increase after the loan term, otherwise it will decrease.

Among them, the benchmark interest rate for one-year loans of financial institutions was lowered by 0.25 percentage points to 4.35%; The benchmark interest rate for one-year deposits was lowered by 0.25 percentage point to 1.5%.
The benchmark interest rates of other loans and deposits and the lending rates of the People's Bank of China to financial institutions are adjusted accordingly; The interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans remains unchanged. At the same time, commercial banks and rural cooperative financial institutions are no longer allowed to set the floating ceiling of deposit interest rates, improve the formation and regulation mechanism of interest rate marketization, strengthen the regulation and supervision of the interest rate system by the central bank, and improve the transmission efficiency of monetary policy.
