中国人民银行行长助理易纲日前在《21世纪经济报道》主办的“21世纪亚洲金融年会”上表示,农村金融机构进行涉农贷款时,不宜实行优惠利率,其贷款利率应比市场贷款利率稍高一些。“许多人希望给农民的贷款利率越低越好,他们认为这样可以减轻农民的还款负担。这种观点是错误的。 Yi Gang, an assistant to the president of the People’s Bank of China, recently told the 21st Century Asian Financial Annual Conference hosted by 21st Century Business Herald that rural financial institutions should not apply preferential interest rates when they engage in agriculture-related loans and their loan interest rates should be higher than market loans Interest rates slightly higher. “Many people hope that the lower the interest rate on lending to peasants, the less they think they can reduce the peasants’ repayment burden.”
