According to statistics released today by the Monetary Authority of Macao, funding costs of the local banking sector generally declined in the third quarter of 2021.

At end-September 2021, the composite interest rates for MOP and HKD fell 2 basis points and 3 basis points, from 0.50% and 0.86% at end-June 2021 to 0.48% and 0.83% respectively.

Macao’s composite interest rates are the weighted average interest rates of all interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest-bearing demand deposits on local banks’ books. These statistical indicators facilitate the financial sector to closely track movements in domestic funding costs.
