Three DR-Based Loans Issued by ICBC, CMB, SPD Bank in Hainan Free Trade Port

On July 20, three loans using the deposit institution bond repo rate (DR) as the pricing benchmark were issued in the Hainan Free Trade Port. The loans were granted by the Hainan branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Haikou branch of China Merchants Bank, and the Haikou branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, targeting different enterprise types, account types, and interest rate models.
