The full name of LPR is the preferential loan interest rate. At first, this interest rate was mainly used for corporate loans. Later, after reform, it was gradually applied to personal loans and other fields. The formation of LPR interest rate mainly refers to medium-term loan instruments (MLF), long-term loans (such as housing loans) and quotation banks. The introduction of LPR helps to reduce financing costs and promote interest rate marketization.
For lenders and enterprises, LPR means that they don't have to accept all kinds of complicated interest rate changes, but settle directly at the best interest rate. Financial institutions will determine the actual loan interest rate by adding and subtracting points on the basis of LPR according to the borrower's credit status, mortgage situation, loan term and other factors. Generally speaking, the implementation of LPR is conducive to the stability and healthy development of financial markets.
