Everbright Securities believes that in the long term, on the one hand, with the repeated reduction of bank deposit interest rates, coupled with bank wealth management and publicly offered fund products being vulnerable to capital market disruptions, savings-type insurance products with a 2.5% scheduled interest rate still have some appeal. On the other hand, the dynamic adjustment mechanism of scheduled interest rates will significantly benefit insurance companies in adjusting liability costs promptly in response to market changes, which is conducive to the industry's improvement in asset-liability management in the long run.
