中金：政策温和发力，后续有待加码——9月金融数据点评

Core Viewpoint - The analysis indicates that the new credit data for September may not be as weak as it appears, with adjustments for replacement bonds suggesting a stronger underlying credit demand than reported [2][3]. Group 1: Credit Data Analysis - In September, new credit amounted to 1.29 trillion yuan, a decrease of 0.3 trillion yuan compared to the same period last year, resulting in a year-on-year growth rate of 6.6% [3]. - Adjusting for the impact of replacement bonds, the year-on-year growth rate of credit balance in September is estimated to be 7.7% [3]. - The central rate of bill interest rates in September has significantly increased compared to August, indicating a potential improvement in credit demand [3]. Group 2: M1 Growth and Policy Implications - M1 growth in September reached 7.2%, exceeding market expectations, with a month-on-month increase of 3.1% after seasonal adjustments [3]. - The analysis suggests that a 1 percentage point increase in M1 growth corresponds to approximately 1 trillion yuan in economic activity, indicating a moderate policy stimulus [3]. - The recent implementation of policy financial tools and a rapid decline in fiscal deposits, which fell by 840 billion yuan in September, are contributing factors to the observed M1 growth [3][4]. Group 3: Real Estate Policy Impact - The easing of real estate policies in major cities has led to an increase in housing transactions, with a 7% year-on-year growth in the transaction area of commercial housing in 30 major cities in September [4]. - New long-term loans for residents reached 250 billion yuan in September, an increase of 20 billion yuan compared to the same period last year, contrasting with a decline in August [4]. - The sustainability of this credit growth may be challenged due to the potential temporary nature of the real estate sales data [4]. Group 4: Future Outlook - To ensure reasonable growth in financial aggregate indicators, continued fiscal policy support is necessary [4]. - The year-on-year growth rates of social financing and M2 have shown a decline, with social financing growth at 8.7% and M2 growth at 8.4% in September, indicating a potential decrease in overall financing demand [4].
