Abstract
This article uses the Svensson model to develop the term structure of interest rate in China’s interbank bond market, and then analyzes the variation of the term structure of interest rate through principal components analysis and sensitivity analysis. The results show the term structure can be explained by the four principal components rather than three principal components compared with foreign developer market. The first principal component seems different than the parallel shift factor of the yield curve usually found in foreign studies and the fourth factor has a significant impact on the term structure especially the spot rate within 1 or 2 years. The difference of the risk factors exhibits a distinctive feature of China’s interbank bond market.
