before answering these questions, we must first explain what interbank certificates of deposit are.

when ordinary people deposit money in a bank, the bank will issue a deposit certificate, also called a deposit certificate. when the deposit behavior occurs between banks, the deposit certificate obtained is an interbank deposit certificate. since the subject is a bank, the credit risk level is low and the amount of funds is relatively large, the interest rate of interbank deposit certificates is generally higher than the interest rate of bank time deposits. in addition, the duration of most interbank deposit certificates is within 1 year, with short terms, good liquidity and flexibility.

at the same time, interbank certificates of deposit are internationally known as large transferable certificates of deposit (cds), which means that interbank certificates of deposit can also be traded in the secondary market, with a general threshold of more than 10 million yuan. issuers are usually deposit-taking financial institutions such as commercial banks and policy banks, while investors who provide money are usually banks, securities companies, insurance companies, funds and other financial institutions.
