Analyst: next, there is potential for further relaxation of real estate regulation
Why is the interest rate of the first house not adjusted synchronously? The reporter of the daily economic news noted that previously, the central bank and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission pointed out in the notice that on the basis of the national unified lower limit of loan interest rate, the dispatched offices of the people's Bank of China and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission guided the self-discipline mechanism of market interest rate setting at the provincial level in accordance with the principle of "implementing policies according to the city", and according to the changes in the real estate market situation of cities under their jurisdiction and the regulatory requirements of the urban government, Independently determine the lower limit of the interest rate of commercial individual housing loans for the first and second houses in each city under its jurisdiction.
Zou LAN, director of the financial market department of the central bank, once said that the regional characteristics of China's real estate market are obvious. The determination of individual housing loan interest rate and down payment ratio follows the principle of implementing policies according to the city, and adopts the three-tier pricing mechanism of the whole country, the City and the bank.
Wang Qing, chief Macro Analyst of Dongfang Jincheng, believes that the reduction of the mortgage interest rate of the first house will drive the mortgage interest rate of some urban banks (including the interest rate of some second houses) to fall more significantly, so as to consolidate the overall downward trend of the national mortgage interest rate since the beginning of the year and accumulate kinetic energy for the stabilization and recovery of the real estate market in the middle of the year or later. According to the data disclosed by the central bank in the first quarter monetary policy implementation report, the average interest rate of new housing loans for residents in March was 5.49%, down 0.14 percentage points from December last year. This is the first downward inflection point of residential mortgage interest rate since the beginning of last year.
Wang Qing predicted that the lower limit of the mortgage interest rate of the first house will be lowered. Combined with the loosening of purchase restrictions in more cities, there is still potential for further relaxation of real estate regulation . This will drive the property market to gradually meet the conditions for stabilization and recovery in the middle of the year or later. This is also the key to stabilizing macroeconomic operation this year.
