According to the plan, from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026, the part of the personal consumption loan (excluding credit card business) issued by the loan agency is actually used for consumption, and the loan agency can identify the borrower's relevant consumption transaction information through the loan issuance account, and can enjoy the interest subsidy policy according to regulations. The interest subsidy scope includes consumption of less than 50,000 yuan per transaction, as well as consumption in key areas such as household cars, elderly care, education and training, cultural tourism, home decoration, electronic products, health and medical care, etc. For single consumption of more than 50,000 yuan, interest subsidies will be made based on the upper limit of the consumption of 50,000 yuan. After the policy expires, the policy period can be extended and the scope of support can be expanded depending on the implementation effect.

In terms of interest subsidy standards, the annual interest subsidy ratio is 1 percentage point (calculated based on the actual principal of personal consumption loans used for consumption that meet the conditions), and the maximum shall not exceed 50% of the loan contract interest rate. The central and provincial finances shall bear 90% and 10% of the interest subsidy funds respectively. The interest rate of the loan contract needs to comply with the corresponding interest rate self-discipline agreement.
