the maturity of interest rate marketization marks the transformation of China's interest rate system from the traditional interest rate model to the new one.As an important participant in the reform of interest rate marketization, commercial banks are faced with many challenges, such as the decline of profit level, the substantial increase of operational risk, the increase of financial market instability, and the increase of liquidity risk.They should actively explore new business and management concepts, adopt measures to improve the prices of financial products and derivatives, introduce risk management and control mechanism, develop bank's intermediate business, and promote the development of bank's intermediate business In order to ensure the healthy and stable development of commercial banks, we should take positive measures such as strengthening the ability of debt management, reasonably dealing with the challenge of interest rate marketization.

This chapter provides an overview of floating rate notes (FRNs). Although FRNs originated in Europe, their first introduction in the United States came in 1974 when Citicorp sold $650 million worth of its 15-year notes. Since that time, FRNs have evolved into a variety of types. FRN types covered in the chapter include the plain, capped, floored, collared, reverse, super, deleveraged, perpetual, and flip-flop. An FRN can have a maturity of up to 30 years and include periodic interest rate adjustments throughout its life. An FRN uses a reference rate, such as London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), Treasury bill (T-bill) rate, prime rate, or domestic certificate of deposit rate plus a spread to determine its coupon rate. The chapter provides a discussion of such risk factors as interest rate risk, credit risk, call/reinvestment risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. Additionally, it covers FRN valuation using spread for life, effective margin, total adjusted margin, discount margin, and option-adjusted spread methods.

<p>Interest rate marketization means that the interest rate level of financial institutions operating and financing in the money market is determined by market supply and demand. It includes interest rate determination, interest rate transmission, interest rate structure and marketization of interest rate management. At present, there are still many deficiencies and defects in the traditional interest rate management system. The reform of interest rate marketization is the focus of China’s financial system reform. Therefore, we should not only be brave in innovation, but also carefully study and analyze. In the analysis process, this paper focuses on the impact of interest rate marketization on commercial banks, and puts forward some countermeasures.</p>

Abstract In order for monetary policy’s interest rate channel to operate smoothly and effectively, the relevant retail interest rates of the real economy should react quickly and follow the movements of the prime rate. It has been observed that this connection has weakened since the financial crisis and it was suggested that the so called Weighted Average Cost of Liabilities (WACL) might be a better proxy for the banks’ marginal costs than the prime rate or interbank rate. In this study the WACL for Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania is calculated by applying cointegration tests and ARDL models. I examined whether their long-run relationships with the retail loan rates are more stable. Results: 1. Using the WACL instead of the interbank rate yields slightly more stable long-term relationships with the retail loan rates, and the WACL has been proved to be somewhat more stable than the interbank rate. 2. The interest rate pass-through has been efficient for the household loan rates in all three countries, but only in Romania for the corporate loan rates. 3. The results suggest that the central banks can effectively influence the commercial banks’ financing costs even in a low interest rate environment, although this cost represents only one component of the loan rates, and the movements of other components can offset the changes of the prime rate.

The deposit insurance pricing is the core issue of deposit insurance system, it determines the success or failure of the deposit insurance system in a way. In the current deposit insurance pricing methods, we treat the interest rates as a constant. With the interest rate marketization in China, the deposit insurance pricing methods have also changed accordingly. In this paper, we will give a functional representation of the impact of RMB interest rate marketization on interest rate by fitting the coefficients of the cubic function. Then we will use the data of 2013 to prove it. For the points that do not conform to this rule, we also have some explanations related to the major economic events at that time.
