1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the report regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In recent years, the risks of small and medium - sized banks have gradually increased due to economic transformation, regional development differences, and bank risk events. The central government has emphasized the timely disposal of risks in small and medium - sized financial institutions [1][10]. - The business share and profitability of small and medium - sized banks have declined. Their asset quality has also deteriorated during the rapid expansion period, and they are now gradually digesting historical legacy issues [2][33]. - The operations of urban and rural commercial banks across the country have shown differentiation. Underdeveloped regions generally have higher asset - to - total ratios, and there are differences in asset quality, profitability, and business growth rates among different regions [3]. - The core path for resolving the risks of small and medium - sized banks is the reform of the rural credit system, and the reform process of provincial rural credit unions has accelerated significantly in recent years [4]. - In the disposal of major risk events of small and medium - sized banks, a large amount of public funds are often consumed, and the restoration of the subject's qualifications and regional credit usually takes a long time [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Small and Medium - Sized Bank Risk Resolution Background - **Macro - background**: Since 2010, with China's economic transformation, the profitability of the real economy has declined, and the default rate of small and medium - sized enterprises has increased, leading to a rise in the non - performing loan ratio of small and medium - sized banks from 2010 - 2020. After 2020, macro - factors have put pressure on the asset quality and operations of small and medium - sized banks. Regional economic development imbalances and the limited risk - control capabilities of small and medium - sized banks, along with events such as the Baoshang Bank incident in 2019, have attracted more attention to the risk resolution of small and medium - sized banks [1][10]. - **High concentration of rural commercial bank credit risks**: In 2023, rural financial institutions accounted for 95% of the 3936 banking financial institutions rated by the central bank, and high - risk rural financial institutions accounted for 96% of the total high - risk bank institutions [15]. - **Non - redemption of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds concentrated in urban and rural commercial banks**: All cases of non - redemption of Tier 2 and perpetual bonds occurred in urban and rural commercial banks, especially in small and medium - sized banks in Liaoning, Tianjin, Shandong and other places. Since 2023, the non - redemption ratio has continued to decline, which may indicate an improvement in the capital adequacy of small and medium - sized banks in recent years [17]. 3.2 Operating Conditions of Urban and Rural Commercial Banks - **Overview of the fundamentals of urban and rural commercial banks**: Before 2016, small and medium - sized banks rapidly expanded their scale, but since 2019, their market share has continued to decline. During the rapid expansion period, their asset quality deteriorated, and since 2020, they have gradually digested historical legacy issues. Their profitability has also decreased significantly, and there are differences in capital adequacy among different types of banks [28][33][35]. - **Operating conditions of urban and rural commercial banks in different regions**: The market status of urban and rural commercial banks shows a two - tiered differentiation. Underdeveloped regions and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui have a high asset - to - total ratio, while developed regions have a low ratio. There are also differences in asset quality, profitability, and business growth rates among different regions. For example, in 2024, the asset quality of urban and rural commercial banks in the three northeastern provinces and the northwest was generally poor, while that in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Beijing, and Shanghai was relatively good [3][38][41]. 3.3 Progress and Plans for the Reform of Provincial Rural Credit Unions in Different Regions - **The reform of the rural credit system is the core path for resolving the risks of small and medium - sized banks**: The reform of provincial rural credit unions is an important part of risk resolution for small and medium - sized banks. Currently, there are two main reform models: the joint - bank model and the unified - legal - person model. The reform process has accelerated significantly in recent years [4][59][62]. - **Cases of rural credit system reform**: Examples include the Zhejiang Rural Commercial United Bank (joint - bank model), Liaoning Rural Commercial Bank (unified - legal - person model), and Henan Rural Commercial Bank (a combination of joint - bank and unified - legal - person models) [64][66]. 3.4 Cases of Risk Disposal of Small and Medium - Sized Banks - **Sources of funds for risk disposal of small and medium - sized banks**: The order of fund use in the financial risk disposal process is the shareholders and actual controllers of the disposed financial institution, market - based funds, the deposit insurance fund, local public resources, and the financial stability protection fund. In recent years, the deposit insurance fund has been widely used in major risk resolution of small and medium - sized banks, and as of July 2025, a total of 530 billion yuan of special bonds for risk resolution of small and medium - sized banks have been issued [69][70][72]. - **Cases of risk disposal of small and medium - sized banks**: After the risk exposure of Baoshang Bank in 2019, risks of small and medium - sized banks in various places broke out concentratedly. Taking Liaoning Rural Commercial Bank and Jinzhou Bank as examples, the causes of risks, disposal plans, and related risks are analyzed [76].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The "relocated" deposits remain as deposits and do not reduce the allocation power in the bond market. Even if residents' deposits move to the stock market, they still exist in the form of margin deposits, so the overall bank deposits do not decrease, and the asset - side allocation power will not decline [1]. - Credit showed negative growth and relied on bills, indicating weak financing demand. Both corporate and household credit demand was weak in July, with high - frequency data showing a weakening in real - estate sales [2][9]. - Government bonds are still the main support for social financing. However, if there is no new fiscal budget, government bond supply may decrease year - on - year in the future, and social financing may face pressure again [3][4][14]. - The base effect pushed up the M1 growth rate, and non - bank deposits drove the M2 growth rate to rebound. As the government bond issuance pace slows down, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing market liquidity [5][20]. - The bond market may experience short - term or periodic fluctuations and is waiting for a breakthrough. As the commodity and stock markets cool down, the bond market is expected to oscillate in the short term, and interest rates may break through downward as the fundamentals change and the asset shortage evolves, more likely around or in the fourth quarter [6][23]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents Credit Situation - In July, new credit was - 500 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 310 billion yuan.

Government bonds were the main support, with an increase of 555.9 billion yuan year - on - year to 1.244 trillion yuan. Non - government bond social financing growth was weak, and if there is no new budget, government bond supply may decrease year - on - year in the future, putting pressure on social financing growth [3][4][14]. Monetary Supply Situation - In July, the M1 growth rate rebounded from 4.6% to 5.6% mainly due to the base effect, and there was no trend - like increase in the two - year compound growth rate. The M2 growth rate was 8.8%, a 0.5 - percentage - point increase from the previous month, mainly driven by the year - on - year increase in non - bank deposits. As the government bond issuance pace slows down, fiscal deposits may decrease year - on - year, increasing market liquidity [5][17][20]. Bond Market Outlook - The bond market may experience short - term or periodic fluctuations.
