Currently, existing home loans using LPR values above 5 years have standards such as 4.2%, 3.95%, 3.85%, and after adjustment, the corresponding rates will be 3.9%, 3.65%, 3.55%. On the repricing date, after the loan reprices, the rates will be adjusted to the same level for loans included in this batch adjustment.
