Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In June, both social financing and credit showed seasonal rebounds with significant growth. The stock of social financing increased by 4.2 trillion yuan, and RMB loans increased by 2.24 trillion yuan. M2 maintained stable growth, M1 increased significantly, and M0 maintained high growth [3]. - The significant growth of social financing this month was stronger than in previous years, with the increased issuance of government bonds being the core driving force. The structure of new social financing changed from being dominated by government bonds in the previous month to "credit - based, government bonds as a supplement" [4]. - New credit increased seasonally and was slightly higher than the same period last year, mainly driven by short - term corporate loans, and medium - and long - term corporate loans also increased [4]. - The sharp rise of M1 this month may be due to factors such as the May interest rate cut, the central bank's use of outright reverse repurchases, the decline of the ten - year Treasury bond interest rate, and the acceleration of fiscal expenditure flowing into the real economy [5]. - In terms of corporate direct financing, there was differentiation among industries, and attention should be paid to the decline of real estate financing. Corporate bill financing decreased significantly, indicating an improvement in the corporate financing environment [7][8]. - The problem of insufficient currency activation has improved under the continuous acceleration of government leverage, but there are still concerns about the corporate balance sheet. The scissors gap between M2 and M1 has narrowed, but the expansion of the balance sheet of large - scale industrial enterprises depends on debt rather than profit [8]. - The policy combination of "fiscal leadership + monetary support" has achieved significant results. In the future, each sector has room for further development, and the enterprise sector may take over the social financing in the future [9]. - Currently, it is a critical transition period of "government - driven → enterprise takeover → household follow - up". The rebound of M1 this month may be a verification point of the start of recovery, and policy support is still necessary [10]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Data Observation - **Social Financing and Credit**: In June, the stock of social financing increased by 4.2 trillion yuan, with an year - on - year increase of 0.91 trillion yuan. RMB loans increased by 2.24 trillion yuan, with an year - on - year increase of 110 billion yuan. The growth of social financing was mainly driven by the high - growth of government bond financing year - on - year [3][4]. - **Money Supply**: M2 increased by 8.3% year - on - year, 0.4 percentage points higher than last month. M1 increased by 4.6% year - on - year, 2.3 percentage points higher than last month. M0 increased by 12% year - on - year, 0.1 percentage points slower than last month [3]. - **New Credit Structure**: New credit increased seasonally, mainly driven by short - term corporate loans, and medium - and long - term corporate loans also increased. On the supply side, banks tend to increase short - term corporate loans to meet the end - of - quarter assessment requirements. On the demand side, the PMI production and new order indexes in June showed that production and orders were recovering [4]. Depth Perspective - **Fiscal Deposits**: The financing volume of government bonds was slightly lower than in previous years, and the new fiscal deposits were at a historically low level. The difference between new government bond financing and fiscal deposits increased, indicating that government funds were flowing into the real economy [6]. - **Corporate Direct Financing**: There was differentiation among industries in corporate direct financing. The net financing of energy, materials, optional consumption, and information technology industries increased year - on - year, while that of medical, industrial, communication services, and real estate industries decreased. Attention should be paid to the decline of real estate financing [7][8]. - **Bill Financing**: Corporate bill financing decreased significantly this month, and there was no obvious bill - padding phenomenon. The bill financing interest rate center decreased compared with May, indicating an improvement in the corporate financing environment [8]. Future Outlook - **Overall Economic Pattern**: The problem of insufficient currency activation has improved, but there are still concerns about the corporate balance sheet. The scissors gap between M2 and M1 has narrowed, but the expansion of the balance sheet of large - scale industrial enterprises depends on debt rather than profit. The current cycle still depends on policy support to boost household currency activity [8]. - **Policy Level**: The policy combination of "fiscal leadership + monetary support" has achieved significant results. In the future, the government sector can release fiscal space through debt resolution, the enterprise sector can improve its ability to increase leverage through debt structure optimization, and the household sector is in a weak recovery state [9]. - **Bond Market**: Currently, it is still a liquidity - loose pattern dominated by policies. Although social financing has entered the fiscal effect verification period, the weak fundamentals remain unchanged. The downward adjustment space of the bond market may be limited, and investors should actively seize the opportunities brought by emotional changes [10].

Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In June, the overall social financing and credit exceeded expectations. The year-on-year growth rate of social financing stock rebounded by 0.2 pct to 8.9%, and credit data improved significantly, becoming one of the main supporting items for social financing [1][6]. - The improvement in short-term loans for enterprises and residents reflects the marginal boost in corporate business activities and residents' spending willingness. However, the impact of seasonal factors needs attention. The positive trend of medium- and long-term loans for residents and enterprises requires attention to its sustainability [1][6]. - The improvement in June's credit data indicates that incremental policies are gradually taking effect, and the economic fundamentals show "resilience." However, structural pressures still exist and may require further policy support [1][6]. - In the bond market, the overall favorable environment for the bond market in the third quarter has not fundamentally changed. The current prominent stock-bond "seesaw" effect is more of a disturbing factor. Long-term interest rates are expected to fluctuate narrowly around 1.65%, and there is no need to overly worry about adjustment risks [1][6]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1.1. In terms of total volume, government bonds and credit form support - In June, the new social financing was 419.93 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 90.08 billion yuan. The year-on-year growth rate of social financing was 8.9%, up 0.2 pct from the previous month. The social financing growth rate (excluding government bonds) was 6.1%, up 0.078 pct from the previous month [7]. - Government bonds remained the core driving force for social financing and are expected to support the economic performance in the second quarter. Fiscal front-loading has been in place since the beginning of the year, and government bond issuance has increased significantly year-on-year. In the second quarter, the net financing of government bonds significantly exceeded the seasonal level [7]. - In June, the new RMB loans (social financing caliber) increased by 16.73 billion yuan year-on-year, exceeding expectations. The improvement in credit supply is due to the seasonal increase in banks' credit supply demand in the end-of-quarter month and the positive factors in economic operation with the continuous implementation of a package of stable growth policies [2][7]. 1.2. In terms of structure, short-term corporate loans performed brightly - In June, the new RMB loans were 224 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11 billion yuan. Among them, short-term loans for residents increased by 1.5 billion yuan year-on-year, medium- and long-term loans for residents increased by 1.51 billion yuan year-on-year, short-term loans for enterprises increased by 49 billion yuan year-on-year, and medium- and long-term loans for enterprises increased by 4 billion yuan year-on-year [13]. - Residents' willingness to increase leverage improved moderately. The "618" promotion and summer travel plans in June may have led to the concentrated release of household consumption demand, and policies such as trade-in of consumer goods also provided support [13]. - Medium- and long-term loans for residents are a comprehensive reflection of the relief of early mortgage repayment pressure and the year-on-year decline in real estate transactions. The reduction of existing mortgage rates may reduce early mortgage repayment, but the reduction of deposit rates in May may increase the pressure [13]. - Short-term corporate loans continued to improve year-on-year, becoming the main supporting item for new credit. This may be due to the end-of-quarter impulse and the implementation of structural monetary policy tools in early May [14]. - The impact of replacement bond issuance on medium- and long-term corporate loans was marginally relieved. The low base in the same period last year and the improvement in corporate operations, as reflected in the PMI data, also contributed to the increase [14]. 1.3. Under the low-base effect, the year-on-year growth of M1 was high - In June, the year-on-year growth rate of M2 was 8.3%, up 0.4% from the previous month and 2.1% from the same period last year. The year-on-year growth rate of M1 was 4.6%, up 2.3% from the previous month and 6.3% from the same period last year [22]. - The increase in residents' deposits was 247 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33 billion yuan. Non-financial corporate deposits increased by 177.73 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 77.73 billion yuan. Fiscal deposits decreased by 82 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 700 million yuan. Non-bank deposits decreased by 52 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34 billion yuan [22]. - The year-on-year and month-on-month growth rates of M1 and M2 both improved, and the year-on-year growth of M1 was significant. This is mainly due to the low-base effect caused by the "manual interest compensation" rectification in April last year and the bond bull market, which led to a decline in M1 and M2 growth last year [22]. - The continuous fiscal efforts at the end of the quarter also supported the growth of M1 and M2. The net financing scale of government bonds in the second quarter this year was significantly higher than that in the same period last year, and fiscal expenditure was strong [23]. - The phased easing of external tariff games and the continuous strengthening of domestic stable growth policies boosted corporate business expectations and residents' consumption confidence, which may have promoted the activation of general deposits [23].

Core Viewpoints - In June 2025, credit performance was not weak, with corporate short - term loans being the main support and bills "yielding space" for credit.

From August to the end of the year, it may turn to a year - on - year decrease [3][23]. - **Corporate Bonds**: In June, corporate bond issuance was still strong, with an increase of 24.22 billion yuan, 3.22 billion yuan more than the same period last year. The new policy on science and technology innovation bonds may drive corporate bond financing. Unaccepted bills decreased by 18.99 billion yuan, close to the same period last year and at a seasonal low, indicating a continuous conversion from off - balance - sheet bills to on - balance - sheet [3][27]. Deposits: End - of - Quarter Deposit Rush, Significant Increase in M1 and M2 Growth Rates - **M1**: In June, the new - caliber M1 increased by 5 trillion yuan, 2.6 trillion yuan more than the same period in 2024, at a seasonally high level. The year - on - year growth rate rose from 2.3% to 4.6% [4][30]. - **M2**: Among the M2 components, non - bank deposits were significantly lower than the seasonal level, while corporate deposits increased significantly as the main support. Corporate customers' redemption of wealth management products helped banks boost general deposits at the end of the quarter. In June, inter - bank deposits decreased by 520 billion yuan, 340 billion yuan less than the same period in 2024. Corporate deposits increased by 1.7773 trillion yuan, 777.3 billion yuan more than last year.

Group 1 - The report from CITIC Securities indicates that the issuance of government bonds supported a slight increase in social financing growth in June [1] - Looking ahead, social financing performance may continue to be supported by the shift in the main line of debt reduction towards stable growth, along with the traditional accelerated issuance of government bonds around mid-year [1] - On the credit side, banks increased lending on the supply side due to the half-year end timing and the low base from the previous year, with significant growth in short-term loans to enterprises, while medium and long-term loan issuance remained relatively stable year-on-year [1] Group 2 - The report suggests that corporate financing sentiment remains cautious amid trade friction, and current mortgage demand is still at a relatively low level based on real estate sales data [1] - The recovery in the retail sector is expected to depend on the implementation of previous comprehensive policies and subsequent incremental policies [1] - M1 improvement is mainly driven by a low base and the recovery of corporate funding, while the increase in M2 reflects the stability of bank liabilities, which helps maintain a loose liquidity environment [1] Group 3 - The People's Bank of China emphasized "technological innovation + service consumption" as the dual focus of monetary policy during a press conference on July 14 [1] - CITIC Securities believes that structural easing will become the main line of policy in the next phase, while total policies such as interest rate cuts may remain on hold [1] - In the short term, this approach is expected to help stabilize the credit environment, but long-term attention is needed on the transmission effects and the pace of real economy recovery [1]
