Expert: Interest expense is basically unaffected.

  Nanfang Daily News (Reporter/Li Hualian, zhangyan, Chen Ying) On August 25th, the People’s Bank of China announced that since October 8th this year, the new commercial personal housing loan interest rate has been formed by adding the loan market quotation rate (LPR) for the corresponding period in the latest month as the pricing benchmark. Among them, the interest rate of the first set of individual housing loans shall not be lower than the corresponding term LPR, and the interest rate of the second set of individual housing loans shall not be lower than the corresponding term LPR plus 60 basis points.

  What is the impact of the adjustment of housing loan interest rate on ordinary residents’ loans? In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the People’s Bank of China said that compared with before the reform, the interest expenses of households applying for individual housing loans were basically unaffected.

  The interest rate of the first home loan shall not be lower than the quoted interest rate of the loan market for the corresponding term.

  According to the announcement of the central bank, since October 8 this year, the interest rate of newly issued commercial personal housing loans has been formed by adding the loan market quotation rate (LPR) of the corresponding period in the last month as the pricing benchmark. The added value should meet the requirements of national and local housing credit policies, reflect the loan risk situation, and remain unchanged during the contract period.

  "The most important change in this adjustment is the change in the pricing benchmark of individual housing loans." Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Xinwang Bank, said in an interview that before this adjustment, the pricing benchmark of individual housing loans was the benchmark interest rate of loans. After adjustment, the pricing benchmark of individual housing loans is the loan market quotation rate (LPR), that is, the interest rate of individual housing loans is determined by adding some points on the basis of LPR.

  How to price the interest rate of individual housing loan after the reform? In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the People’s Bank of China said that after the reform, the interest rate of newly issued commercial personal housing loans was formed by adding the quotation rate of the loan market for the corresponding period in the last month as the pricing benchmark. Among them, the loan market quotation rate is calculated by the quotation bank of the loan market quotation rate. According to reports, after the conversion of the pricing benchmark, the interest rate of the first set of individual housing loans newly issued nationwide shall not be lower than the corresponding term LPR (according to the LPR of more than five years on August 20, 4.85%); The interest rate of two sets of personal housing loans shall not be lower than the corresponding term LPR plus 60 basis points (calculated as 5.45% according to the LPR of more than five years on August 20), which is basically equivalent to the actual minimum interest rate of personal housing loans in China at present.

  Interest expense is basically unaffected.

  The announcement makes it clear that the repricing period of individual housing loan interest rate can be agreed by both parties through consultation, with the shortest period being one year and the longest period being the contract term. Borrowers and lending banks can choose according to their own interest rate risk bearing and management capabilities. Every time the interest rate is repriced, the pricing benchmark is adjusted to the LPR of the corresponding period in the latest month.

  What is interest rate repricing? The relevant person in charge of the People’s Bank of China explained that interest rate repricing means that the loan bank determines to form a new loan interest rate level according to the change of pricing benchmark according to the calculation method agreed in the contract.

  "Compared with before the reform, households applied for personal housing loans, and interest expenses were basically unaffected." The relevant person in charge of the People’s Bank of China said that the announcement was mainly aimed at the interest rate of newly issued individual housing loans, and the interest rate of existing individual housing loans was still implemented according to the original contract. The interest rate policy of provident fund personal housing loan will not be adjusted for the time being.

  It is strictly forbidden to provide "remortgage and mortgage" services.

  Why adjust the mortgage interest rate at this time? The relevant person in charge of the People’s Bank of China said that the interest rate of individual housing loans is an integral part of the loan interest rate system. In the process of reforming and improving the formation mechanism of the loan market quotation rate (LPR), the pricing benchmark of individual housing loans also needs to be converted from the loan benchmark interest rate to LPR to better play the role of the market.

  "The personal housing loan interest rate is also an important part of the long-term management mechanism of the real estate market and the regional differentiated housing credit policy." The relevant person in charge of the People’s Bank of China said that in order to implement the positioning of "the house is for living, not for speculation" and the long-term management mechanism of the real estate market, ensure the smooth and orderly conversion of the pricing benchmark, keep the interest rate of individual housing loans basically stable, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of both borrowers and lenders, the People’s Bank of China issued an announcement to clarify matters related to the adjustment of the interest rate of individual housing loans.

  At the same time, the announcement stressed that it is strictly forbidden to provide personal housing loans with "remortgage" and "mortgage-adding" services to ensure the smooth and orderly progress of related work.

  ■ Interpretation

  Mortgage interest rate will be more market-oriented.

  For property buyers, after the New Deal, did the mortgage interest rate go up or down? According to the monitoring data of Rong 360 Big Data Research Institute, in July 2019, the average interest rate of the first home loan in China was 5.44%, and the average interest rate of the second home loan was 5.76%. If the LPR after October 8 is roughly maintained at the current level, does it mean that the mortgage interest rate has declined after the New Deal?

  "This is the minimum requirement for national unity." Dong Ximiao said that judging from the announcement, the provincial branches of the central bank will determine the lower limit of the interest rate of the first and second sets of individual housing loans in various places according to the principle of "policy according to the city" and changes in the local real estate market situation.

  Zhou Jingtong, a researcher in charge of the Bank of China, said in an interview that the future mortgage interest rate will more prominently reflect the regionality, monetary policy and credit strategies of banks, and the difference of mortgage interest rate will be greater in different regions, different customers and different periods.

  At the routine briefing on the State Council policy held by the State Council Press Office on August 20th, Liu Guoqiang, deputy governor of the central bank, made it clear that the principle of "staying in the house without speculation" should be resolutely implemented in the real estate market, and the mortgage interest rate would not drop.

  From the market point of view, the mortgage interest rate has an upward trend in August. According to the latest information obtained by reporters from a number of banks, it is unlikely that the short-term mortgage interest rate will be lowered due to the recent tight mortgage quota.

  The front face shape of the new Xingrui L has been slightly optimized, and the headlights and the lower two sides are sharper. The middle net grille still adopts the waterfall shape, and the overall three-dimensional effect is stronger. The taillight has introduced a one-piece through shape, and the exhaust holes on both sides have been changed from oval to rectangular. The wheel hub adopts the brand-new 18-inch double ten-spoke blackening design, and the visual effect is very blooming! The tires are made of ATLAS ATLAS AS330 series, with specifications of 225/45 R18.

  The interior center console is very simple in shape, and the mainstream 13.2-inch central control vertical screen is introduced, which makes the operation more convenient and the resolution more clear. Most of the traditional physical keys are cancelled, and only a small number of key functions are reserved above the central passage area. At the same time, the in-line gear lever has been changed to the arm structure, the steering wheel has become a four-position type, and the shapes of the instrument panel and the air outlet of the air conditioner have also been optimized. The brand-new design concept is very mainstream. The car system adopts the latest version of Galaxy OS 2.0.9, and it still needs to be optimized in terms of touch response and menu interface logic. In particular, the function of rearview mirror adjustment can’t be searched in the on-screen menu after the physical buttons of traditional door panels are cancelled, and it can only be popped up by the * button in the lower right corner of the multi-function steering wheel. The new 10.2-inch all-digital LCD dashboard is very rich in function display, but it also brings a problem, that is, the intuitive feeling for drivers who are not familiar with it will be dazzling at first sight, and the font information is a little small.

  The new Xingzhiqing powertrain is designed with a 1.5TD four-cylinder structure, which is indeed improved in ride comfort and power compared with the previous generation hybrid three-cylinder structure. And hybrid special 3-speed DHT transmission +P1— The P2 double motors make the car get a qualitative improvement in power and fuel consumption. The maximum power and torque of the engine is 120 kW/255 N m, and the combined maximum power and torque in hybrid mode is 220 kW/575 N m.. The official claims that the comprehensive average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 4.22L, and at the same time, the acceleration of 100 kilometers can be completed within 7.5 seconds. The suspension system still adopts the structure design of pre-McPherson/rear multi-link. The front and rear wheel tracks of 1618mm are said to be the widest design in the industry at present, and the stroke of the shock absorber has reached the front 185mm/ rear 213mm, so that extra long stretching space can be obtained.

  When driving a new car, you can clearly feel the powerful assistance brought by the hybrid system. The throttle response is very sensitive, the power is on call, and there is no delay. At the same time, you don’t feel a sense of frustration during the shift process, especially in the sports mode. The power output characteristics are very direct. When switching to the intelligent mode, it will become very smart. In most driving processes, as long as the throttle is not deep, it will not easily start to participate in the work. Driving in the rolling road section, the chassis gives the driver a solid feedback, and has good toughness and shock absorption. The directivity of the steering wheel is also accurate and not vague, especially when the high-speed disc bridge turns, the anti-roll force is well suppressed, and the rebound of the front of the car after sinking is also very rapid during the heavy braking process, and there is basically no feeling of sloppiness. However, the vibration transmitted to the car when passing through the standard triangular speed bump at medium and low speeds will be somewhat obvious, which is called hard shock absorption.

  The new car is really optimized in NVH! In the process of driving at a speed of 120km/h, the front and rear passengers can communicate easily and normally, and the wind noise control is very effective. At the same time, the noise and vibration control after the engine starts to participate in the work is also very good, but the fly in the ointment is that the tire noise is a little too large, which is of course directly related to the matching low-cost tires. But the price of the new car does not exceed 160 thousand yuan, what else can you ask for it? (Photo: provided by Geely Automobile)
