Nine out of thirteen is a few points of profit
In China's traditional financial industry, nine out of thirteen is a common way to calculate interest rates. Specifically, if the loan amount is 100 yuan and the loan term is one year, the interest rate is 30 yuan for one year, so the total repayment amount for one year is 130 yuan. From this calculation, it can be seen that the annualized interest rate is as high as 30%.
In ancient China, due to the imperfection of the financial system, the lending market was relatively chaotic, and the phenomenon of usury was relatively common. Therefore, the calculation of high interest rates such as nine out of thirteen has also emerged. The emergence of this method of calculating interest rates reflected the low level of social and economic development at that time, and the lack of understanding of financial risks and returns at that time.
In modern society, with the continuous improvement of the financial market and the gradual improvement of laws and regulations, the phenomenon of usury has been effectively curbed. At the same time, modern financial products are also more diverse, and investors can choose the investment method that suits them according to their risk appetite and return expectations. However, for some small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals, due to the lack of effective financing channels and financial support, they will still face the problem of difficult and expensive financing. Therefore, the society should strengthen its attention and support for these vulnerable groups to promote the healthy development of the financial market.
To sum up, although the calculation method of high interest rates has gradually disappeared, it still has certain historical significance for the development of China's financial market and people's understanding of financial risks. At the same time, we should also realize that the healthy development of the modern financial market requires the joint efforts of the world, financial institutions and all sectors of society. Only by establishing a sound financial system and a system of laws and regulations can we effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors and promote the healthy development of the financial market.
