The Financial Times, a media outlet supervised by the People's Bank of China (PBOC), published an article stating that according to the PBOC's latest data, the weighted average interest rate for newly issued corporate loans in March was approximately 3.1%, down about 25 bps YoY; the weighted average interest rate for newly issued individual housing loans was approximately 3.1%, down about 6 bps YoY, indicating that overall loan rates have remained at low levels. Industry experts analyzed that the continued operation of financing costs at low levels is an important reflection of appropriate monetary and credit conditions, and also indicates that effective financing demand in the real economy has been fully met. After multiple interest rate cuts in recent years, loan rates for both enterprises and residents are now at relatively low levels. In addition, industry experts noted that M1 consists of currency in circulation, corporate demand deposits, personal demand deposits, and customer reserve funds of non-bank payment institutions (such as WeChat Wallet and Alipay balances). Compared with broad money M2, M1 is more liquid and more convenient for payment transactions, and can better reflect the level of economic activity. Since 2H25, the growth rate center of M1 has rebounded significantly, driving the M2-M1 gap to remain within 5 ppts for ten consecutive months, at a near three-year low, representing a marked improvement compared with the 10.1 ppts level recorded in September 2024.
