According to the previous experience of lowering the deposit interest rate, this was an obvious signal of lowering the deposit interest rate on September 1. A staff member from a state-owned bank's Beijing Tiangongyuan branch also told reporters, "I heard that deposit interest rates will be lowered, but I haven't received formal notice yet. However, even if the listed interest rate is lowered, there is still some room for the actual deposit interest rate to rise, which requires contacting the wealth management manager." This round of deposit interest rate reduction is the second reduction after the national commercial banks lowered their deposit interest rates in early June this year. Starting from June 8th this year, major state-owned banks have successively lowered the interest rates for bulk deposits and withdrawals, as well as large deposits, by a range of 10 BP (inclusive) to 15 BP (inclusive).
