“存款搬家”进程暂缓？

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent changes in China's deposit structure, highlighting a significant divergence between household deposits and non-bank financial institution deposits, indicating a slowdown in the "deposit migration" process as capital markets fluctuate [3][5]. Group 1: Deposit Structure Changes - In September, household deposits increased by 2.96 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 760 billion yuan, marking the first time in the second half of the year that monthly household deposits exceeded 2 trillion yuan [5][6]. - Conversely, non-bank deposits decreased by 1.06 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.97 trillion yuan, representing the first negative growth in monthly non-bank deposits since the beginning of the second half of the year [5][6]. - This structural change is attributed to a combination of fiscal policy actions, market fluctuations, and adjustments in household asset allocation preferences [6][7]. Group 2: Economic Analysis - Chief economist Li Chao from Zheshang Securities noted that in September, the increase in RMB deposits was 2.21 trillion yuan, with household deposits contributing significantly to this growth [7]. - The decline in non-bank deposits is influenced by last year's high base effect, market volatility, and adjustments in asset management products [8][9]. - Analysts suggest that the recent "deposit migration" phenomenon reflects a reallocation of household assets in response to changing asset return rates, rather than a direct cause of market changes [10]. Group 3: M1 and M2 Trends - The changes in household and non-bank deposits have led to a contrasting trend in M1 and M2, with M1's year-on-year growth rate rising to 7.2% in September, while M2's growth rate fell to 8.4% [12][13]. - The narrowing of the M1-M2 gap indicates increased market liquidity, suggesting that households and enterprises are more inclined to convert time deposits into demand deposits for immediate spending [13]. - Analysts emphasize that the recent increase in M1 does not necessarily indicate a significant recovery in the real estate market or a substantial boost in consumption and investment activity [13].
