Adjust differentiated housing credit policies and improve the expectations of the real estate market. On May 15, the central bank and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued a notice: 1) for resident families who buy ordinary self owned houses with loans, the lower limit of the interest rate of commercial individual housing loans for the first set of houses shall be adjusted to not less than the quoted interest rate in the loan market for the corresponding period by 20 basis points (i.e. not less than 4.4%), and the lower limit of the interest rate policy of commercial individual housing loans for the second set of houses shall be implemented in accordance with the current provisions. 2) According to the “policy for the city”, according to the changes in the real estate market situation of each city within the jurisdiction and the regulation 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 within the jurisdiction. The policy is a structural adjustment. For the first house just needed and needs to be implemented according to the city, the minimum loan interest rate is given guidance. It has a positive impact on cities with great pressure on real estate de urbanization (some second, third and fourth tier cities), so as to improve the overall prosperity of the real estate market and optimize the quality of bank assets. Although the return on bank assets may be reduced in the short term, considering the dimension of asset quality, the merger effect is good for the bank sector.
