"Looking ahead, we will evaluate the necessity of further reducing the policy interest rate one by one."Saudi Arabia won the right to host the 2034 World Cup, and the FIFA Council confirmed that the 2034 World Cup will be hosted by Saudi Arabia, which is the third time that Asia has hosted the World Cup.

With the accelerated disposal of bad retail credit assets by commercial banks, the market size of bad personal loans has gradually grown, and there are hundreds of bad assets announcements listed and transferred in Yindeng Center, involving personal consumption and business loans, credit card overdrafts, etc. In order to improve the quality and efficiency of personal loan non-performing assets disposal, banks have also accelerated organizational restructuring and staffing accordingly, abandoned the past model of simply docking asset management companies (AMC) and chose to actively promote non-performing assets to connect the upstream and downstream of the industry, so as to improve the transfer efficiency of personal loan non-performing assets. Industry insiders told reporters that the personal loan NPL market is accelerating, but there are also problems such as low transfer efficiency and limited profit space. At present, the mainstream model is that banks seek reliable unlicensed private institutions to dispose of personal loan NPLs through AMC, and AMC earns channel fees, and the disposal institutions earn excess income, usually at an annual rate of 8%~10%.
