1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Real data is better than "involution-driven" high growth.

Credit growth should match economic growth and price level targets, rather than simply aiming for high volume [1][2][3]. 3.

The new loans in January were 4.71 trillion yuan, a month - on - month increase of 3.80 trillion yuan, indicating sufficient credit supply [3]. - On January 15, 2026, the central bank lowered the interest rates of various structural monetary policy tools, showing sufficient policy strength [3]. - The weighted average interest rate of new corporate loans (domestic and foreign currencies) in January 2026 was about 3.2%, about 20 basis points lower than the same period last year, indicating that financial institutions fully met the effective financing needs of the real economy [3]. - In January 2026, the M2 growth rate reached 9.0%, the highest in the past two years, and the growth rate of the social financing stock was basically the same as that in December 2025, indicating a match between social financing scale, money supply growth, economic growth, and price level targets [3].
