Major State-Owned Banks Resume Issuing 5-Year Jumbo CDs at 1.6% as Net Interest Margins Stabilize
Major state-owned banks, including Bank of China, have resumed issuing five-year jumbo certificates of deposit (CDs) with an annualized rate of 1.6%, higher than the 1.3% on regular five-year deposits. The CDs offer higher yields, better liquidity with partial early withdrawal and transferability, and a minimum purchase of 200,000 yuan. The move comes as net interest margins stabilize, allowing banks to accommodate higher-cost liabilities.
