Major state-owned lenders in China expect a reduction in interest margin pressure throughout the year, bolstered by the repricing of nearly $8 trillion in maturing high-priced time deposits. This outlook comes as Agricultural Bank of China Limited and Bank of China Limited reported stabilizing margins despite a challenging economic backdrop characterized by a real estate debt crisis and sluggish credit demand.
