重点提要
More than 40 million mortgagors would benefit from the latest rate adjustments;
11 movies for this year's Golden Week is set to break 2019's box office record.
Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours
中国经济要闻
More than 40 million homeowners in China with mortgages totaling about 25 trillion yuan are set to benefit from interest rate cuts on first home loans that began on Monday.
Banks generally made cuts for first-time mortgage borrowers with floating rates linked to the central bank’s benchmark loan prime rate by an average of 0.8 percentage point yesterday.
Most home buyers received text messages from banks or sought information on banks' apps. The reductions vary by the city, the time of purchase and the time when the credit contract was signed with the bank.
Monday's implementation is a follow-up measure to the Aug 31 joint statement by the People's Bank of China and the National Financial Regulatory Administration that said lenders should issue new home loans to replace the ones people took out to buy their first property or adjust the rates on existing loans.
In Beijing, mortgagors can now hope to save an additional 2,000 yuan per month or thereabouts on repayment of a loan of 2 million yuan taken in January 2019 from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, according to PBOC estimates.
It is expected that more than 90 percent of the borrowers would be able to enjoy the benefits of the policy right away, with the rest of them tipped to get the benefit of the adjustment by the end of October, said Zou Lan, head of the monetary policy department at the PBOC.
By the end of June, Chinese lenders held 38.6 trillion yuan in outstanding individual mortgage loans, statistics showed.
More than 30 Chinese cities, including the four first-tier cities, as well as major cities like Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Changsha and Suzhou have redefined "first-time homebuyers", allowing people who own a property in a different city, or who do not currently own a property but have taken out a home loan before, to be classified as first-time buyers. In China, first-time buyers enjoy lower interest rates and down payment ratios.
As the easing of home purchase requirements in major Chinese cities, combined with lower mortgage rates, will likely support the real estate market's further recovery, market sentiment has been quite positive on the first day of the policy's implementation, industry experts noted.
New house purchasing has been significantly lifted in the past two weeks in major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Suzhou, data from China Index Academy showed.
存量房贷利率调整大幕正式拉开。
根据中国人民银行、国家金融监督管理总局发布的通知，9月25日起，银行将开始下调存量首套住房商业性个人住房贷款利率水平。此次调整范围为首套住房贷款、二套转首套，以及公积金组合贷中的商业性个人住房贷款。总体来看，调整分为两类情形：首套房和二套转首套。对于首套房贷利率调整，客户将不需要任何操作，银行将主动批量调整。
对于“二套转首套”、未完成LPR转换、不良贷款归还积欠本息等情况的存量房贷，借款人可以从9月25日起，向银行提出申请并提供证明材料，银行将对审核通过的业务进行批量调整。
适应我国房地产市场供求关系发生了重大变化的新形势，8月31日，中国人民银行、金融监管总局联合发布了《关于降低存量首套住房贷款利率有关事项的通知》。接近监管层的有关人士表示，存量首套住房贷款利率调整后，利率平均降幅大约为0.8个百分点。据估算，本次调整涉及的客户可能超过4000万，涉及调整的贷款规模可能达25万亿元。
“预计超过九成符合条件的借款人可在第一时间充分享受政策红利，其他借款人的存量房贷利率也将在10月底前完成调整。”中国人民银行货币政策司司长邹澜日前表示，大部分符合要求的存量首套房贷款利率将降至LPR，2022年5月以后的将降至LPR减20个基点，直接下调至政策下限。中国人民银行指导商业银行按照市场化、法治化原则，细化政策落地方案，尽可能为借款人提供便利。
多家银行此前已经明确了存量房贷利率调整的调整范围、调整规则、申请方式及调整时间、申请渠道等事项，并在手机银行上线“存量房贷利率调整”功能方便“一键办理”，同时为客户提供查询服务。
数据显示，截至6月末，我国个人住房贷款余额38.6万亿元，而六家国有大行的个人住房贷款余额体量占比已经超过七成。
专家表示，叠加各地“认房不认贷”、取消限购等利好消息，房地产市场的积极乐观情绪迹象增加。根据中指监测数据，北京、上海、广州、苏州等城市新房周度网签数据已连续两周环比增长，上周（9.18―9.24），北京、上海新房销售套数环比翻倍增长，广州、苏州环比分别增长17.3%、71.6%。上周北京二手住宅成交套数环比增长6.3%，成都环比增长7.9%。
