Credit Market Dynamics - By the end of 2025, the total social financing stock is projected to reach 442.12 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 8.3%, and over 50% of new financing will come from non-loan sources like bonds [7]. - Xu Ran points out that the key to driving credit demand lies in addressing existing stock issues rather than merely pursuing incremental growth, indicating a shift towards higher quality credit [7].
