Core Viewpoint - The A-share banking sector has shown significant strength, reaching new highs not seen since mid-July 2015, with major banks like Agricultural Bank of China, Shanghai Bank, and China Everbright Bank hitting historical price peaks. This surge has positively impacted the ChiNext Index and the Shanghai Composite Index, which rose over 1% in the afternoon session [1]. Group 1: Market Performance - The banking sector's performance has led to a notable increase in stock prices, with several banks achieving record highs [1]. - Specific banks such as Zhengzhou Bank, Ningbo Bank, and Xiamen Bank have shown positive growth percentages, with increases of 3.09%, 2.87%, and 2.84% respectively [2]. Group 2: Fund Management Regulations - New regulations for public funds are expected to significantly boost the valuation recovery of A-share banking stocks, as these regulations will guide asset allocation towards the CSI 300 index, necessitating an increase in bank stock holdings due to a substantial "allocation gap" [2][3]. - As of the end of 2024, the proportion of bank holdings in actively managed funds is only 3.81%, while the banking sector's weight in the CSI 300 index is 13.67%, indicating a deviation of nearly 10 percentage points [3][9]. Group 3: Individual Bank Analysis - Under the new fund allocation trends, banks that were previously underweighted, such as China Merchants Bank, Industrial Bank, and Bank of Communications, are expected to benefit the most from increased fund allocations [5][12]. - Specific banks like China Merchants Bank and Industrial Bank have the highest underweight ratios, with deviations of 1.9% and 1.5% respectively [11]. Group 4: Regulatory Changes - The new public fund regulations emphasize a performance-based assessment system, increasing the weight of fund performance metrics in evaluating fund managers, with a minimum of 80% weight on fund product performance indicators [6][10]. - Funds that significantly deviate from performance benchmarks will be closely monitored, with quarterly reports required to detail industry allocation differences and adjustment plans [10].

Core Viewpoint - The report from CITIC Securities indicates that since 2025, the banking sector is stabilizing its asset-liability configuration while actively growing loans and deposits, with a convergence in interbank asset-liability expansion. Although the industry's net interest margin continues to decline, the reduction in funding costs is helping to narrow the margin of decline. The outlook suggests that managing funding costs will be a key focus for banks in the upcoming quarters [1][5][6]. Asset and Liability Management - On the asset side, credit and investment are experiencing high growth, while interbank asset growth is significantly converging. In Q1 2025, the total assets of 42 listed banks increased by 3.9% quarter-on-quarter, consistent with the level in Q1 2024. Both loan and investment asset scales are maintaining high growth, while interbank assets are on a downward trend [2]. - On the liability side, deposit growth is positive, and interbank liability expansion is converging. In Q1 2025, the total liabilities of 42 listed banks increased by 4.2% quarter-on-quarter, slightly higher than the asset expansion rate. The structure shows positive growth in deposits, with a convergence in interbank liabilities [2]. Loan and Deposit Structure - In 2024, the structure of loans and deposits among listed banks shows that the proportion of corporate loans is increasing while retail loans are decreasing. By the end of 2024, the proportion of corporate loans, particularly in government-related sectors, increased to 28.8%, up by 0.6 percentage points from the previous year. Conversely, the proportion of mortgage loans decreased to 18.8%, down by 1.67 percentage points [3]. - On the deposit side, the proportion of retail deposits is increasing, with a continued trend towards term deposits. By the end of 2024, the proportion of retail term deposits rose to 34.7%, an increase of 3.56 percentage points from the previous year, while the proportion of corporate demand deposits decreased to 21.4%, down by 1.94 percentage points [3]. Interest Margin Pricing - The industry’s net interest margin continues to decline. According to data from the National Financial Regulatory Administration, the net interest margin for commercial banks was 1.52% in Q4 2024, a slight decrease of 1 basis point from Q3 2024. In Q1 2025, the net interest margin for 25 banks that disclosed this information decreased by 7 basis points compared to the entire year of 2024 [4]. - The analysis indicates that the asset yield continues to decline while funding costs are significantly reduced. The yield on interest-earning assets was 3.18% in Q4 2024 and 3.04% in Q1 2025, down by 9 and 14 basis points respectively. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.83% in Q4 2024 and 1.72% in Q1 2025, down by 7 and 12 basis points respectively, benefiting from improved cost management and the gradual effect of deposit rate reductions [4]. - Although net interest margins for listed banks are generally declining, the rate of decline in Q1 2025 shows a narrowing trend. The average net interest margin for 25 banks decreased by 13 basis points year-on-year, which is better than the decline of 22 basis points in Q1 2024 and 18 basis points for the entire year of 2024 [4]. Future Outlook - The reduction in funding costs remains a crucial direction for managing bank interest margins in the upcoming quarters. Since 2024, factors such as rate reductions and regulatory improvements have significantly impacted the decline in funding costs, with many banks taking the opportunity to strengthen their funding pricing management [5]. - With the completion of concentrated repricing at the beginning of the year, it is expected that interest margins will stabilize further. The pace and extent of future policy interest rate and LPR adjustments will be critical for stabilizing bank interest margins [6].

Core Viewpoint - The banking industry is increasingly prioritizing the recruitment and development of dual-skilled talent who understand both finance and technology, driven by policy support for technology-driven financial innovation [4][6][8]. Talent Development - Banks are focusing on hiring technology professionals, with many institutions reporting a significant increase in the number of tech staff [8][9]. - The demand for AI talent is particularly high, with banks like China Merchants Bank actively recruiting for AI-related positions [6][7]. - The average age of technology finance personnel in banks is decreasing, with many new hires coming from engineering backgrounds rather than traditional finance [11]. Performance Assessment - Banks are implementing internal due diligence exemption systems to encourage innovation in technology finance, although challenges remain in standardizing these measures [5][14]. - The due diligence exemption allows bank staff to avoid penalties if they can demonstrate that they acted responsibly in the face of risks associated with technology loans [15][17]. - There is a push for longer-term performance evaluation cycles to better assess the impact of technology loans, as short-term metrics may not accurately reflect the success of tech-driven projects [16]. Industry Trends - The proportion of technology staff within banks is generally higher in joint-stock banks compared to state-owned banks, with notable increases in recent years [9][10]. - The technology staff at major banks like ICBC and CCB has reached significant numbers, with ICBC leading at 36,000 tech employees [8][9]. - The establishment of specialized technology finance branches is becoming common, with banks setting specific standards for the number and qualifications of technology staff [12][13]. Challenges - The implementation of due diligence exemption policies faces difficulties due to a lack of unified quantitative standards, leading to subjective interpretations of responsibility [18][20]. - The complexity of assessing risks in technology finance can hinder the effectiveness of performance evaluations, as the nature of tech companies often involves high uncertainty [19][20].

Policy Impact - Recent monetary policies, including interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratio reductions, are expected to have a neutral impact on banks' net interest margins, with adjustments on the liability side helping to mitigate pressures [1][6][7]. - The establishment of Financial Asset Investment Companies (AIC) is seen as a significant opportunity for banks to enhance their comprehensive benefits and support technology enterprises [3][4][5]. Earnings and Profitability - Despite the pressure on profitability, bank stocks remain attractive due to their stability and dividend yields, especially as regulatory measures encourage long-term capital inflows [3][4]. - The average net interest margin for listed banks is projected to be 1.52% by the end of 2024, continuing a five-year decline, with a notable decrease in interest income reported for the previous year [6][8].
