Core Viewpoint - In the first seven months of 2025, enterprises and residents collectively received approximately 20.05 trillion yuan in funding, with bank loans (including write-offs and ABS) amounting to about 12.93 trillion yuan, corporate bond financing at 1.42 trillion yuan, and net fiscal expenditure contributing 5.61 trillion yuan. The analysis indicates that the financing demand from the real sector remains weak, and the efficiency of fund circulation between enterprises and residents is low, prompting increased counter-cyclical fiscal measures [1][2][3] Funding Sources and Uses - The total funding sources for the real sector in the first seven months of 2025 are similar to 2023 levels but significantly higher than 2024. The loan increment in 2025 shows slight growth compared to 2024 but is notably lower than 2023.

The historical high proportion of funds flowing into resident deposits since 2022 is attributed to weak consumer confidence, leading to a decline in consumption and investment willingness [7][8] - The migration of deposits is driven by low interest rates and capital market performance, with the latter being the core driver. The current trend of deposit migration is expected to continue if the capital market remains favorable [16][19] Regional Deposit Contributions - The eastern coastal regions, particularly Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have contributed significantly to the increase in resident deposits, indicating that higher-income groups are more likely to invest rather than consume [24][27] - The wealth management awareness among residents in first-tier cities is expected to facilitate the flow of deposits into equity markets, especially as high-interest term deposits mature in 2025-2026 [25][27]
