Core Viewpoint - The report from China Galaxy Securities indicates that government bonds continue to support social financing growth, while credit demand remains weak. Opportunities for retail credit growth may arise from the implementation of personal consumption loans and business loan interest subsidies [1]. Group 1: Social Financing and Government Bonds - In July, new social financing amounted to 1.16 trillion yuan, an increase of 386.4 billion yuan year-on-year; as of the end of July, the stock of social financing grew by 9% year-on-year, with a month-on-month increase of approximately 0.1 percentage points [1]. - The issuance of new government bonds reached 1.24 trillion yuan in July, a year-on-year increase of 555.9 billion yuan, supporting the continued rise in social financing growth [2]. - The total issuance of government bonds in July was 2.44 trillion yuan, which is 732.8 billion yuan more than the same period last year [2]. Group 2: Credit Demand and Loan Trends - As of the end of July, the balance of RMB loans from financial institutions grew by 6.9% year-on-year, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the previous month; in July alone, RMB loans decreased by 50 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 310 billion yuan [3]. - Resident loans decreased by 489.3 billion yuan in July, with short-term loans down by 382.7 billion yuan and medium to long-term loans down by 110 billion yuan, primarily due to weak real estate sales and early repayments [3]. - Corporate loans increased by 60 billion yuan, but short-term loans decreased by 550 billion yuan, reflecting ongoing challenges in demand and debt management [3].

Core Viewpoint - China Galaxy issued a report on the banking industry on August 14, recommending a buy rating for banks based on several key factors [1] Group 1: Financial Indicators - Social financing continues to show a year-on-year increase [1] - RMB loans have turned to negative growth, with government bonds contributing significantly to the increase in social financing [1] - M1 and M2 growth rates continue to rise, with a substantial increase in non-bank deposits [1] Group 2: Credit Demand - Seasonal weakness in credit is noted, with both household and corporate loan demand still needing recovery [1]

Core Viewpoint - July's social financing data indicates that while M1 and M2 growth exceeded market expectations, new loans and social financing fell short, reflecting changes in financing structure, seasonal factors, and shifts in household investment behavior [1][2][3] Monetary Supply - In July, M2 expanded by 8.8% year-on-year, while M1 grew by 5.6%, both surpassing Bloomberg's consensus expectations of 8.3% and 5.2% respectively [1][7] - The year-on-year growth rate of M1 increased from 4.6% in June to 5.6% in July, partly due to low interest rates and the reactivation of deposits by residents and enterprises [7] - M2's year-on-year growth rate rose from 8.3% in May to 8.8% in July, significantly higher than the expected 8.3% [8] Social Financing - July's new social financing amounted to 1.16 trillion yuan, lower than the expected 1.63 trillion yuan, but showed a year-on-year increase of 389.3 billion yuan [6][10] - Government bond net issuance in July was 1.24 trillion yuan, contributing approximately 4.1 percentage points to the year-on-year growth of social financing [2][6] - The net issuance of government bonds in the first seven months of the year reached 8.9 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.9 trillion yuan year-on-year, indicating a proactive fiscal policy [3][4] Loan Dynamics - New RMB loans in July decreased by 500 billion yuan, contrasting with the expected increase of 300 billion yuan, reflecting weak demand from the private sector, particularly in the real estate market [2][4][5] - The total amount of short-term and medium-to-long-term loans for residents fell by 287.1 billion yuan year-on-year, primarily due to weakened demand in the real estate sector [2][4] - Corporate short-term and medium-to-long-term loans decreased by 5.5 billion and 2.6 billion yuan respectively, indicating a decline in financing demand amid rising uncertainties [5][6] Fiscal Policy Impact - The acceleration of social financing growth in July was supported by the front-loaded issuance of government bonds, which is expected to continue influencing the broad credit cycle positively [3][4] - The overall fiscal expenditure growth in the first half of the year was 8.9%, significantly higher than the -2.8% recorded in the same period last year [4] - The sustainability of fiscal stimulus in the latter half of the year may face uncertainties, particularly in light of potential reductions in government bond issuance compared to the previous year [4]

Group 1: Financial Data Overview - In July, the total social financing (社融) stock growth rate rebounded to 9.0% year-on-year, while the credit growth rate under the social financing measure fell to 6.8%[3] - New social financing in July was 1.2 trillion RMB, with a year-on-year increase of 0.4 trillion RMB, primarily supported by government bonds[7] - The new RMB loans in July were negative at -50 billion RMB, marking a historical low since data tracking began[7] Group 2: Economic Outlook and Policy Implications - The growth rate of social financing may peak and decline, with government bonds providing some support, but a year-on-year decrease in government bonds is expected in Q4[3] - Future policies may prioritize the implementation of existing policies, with incremental policies being adjusted based on domestic and international conditions[3] - There remains a window for interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratio reductions within the year, alongside an emphasis on accelerating the issuance of existing government bonds in Q3[7] Group 3: Credit and Deposit Trends - The credit demand has shown a temporary decline due to the "anti-involution" measures, which have squeezed out inflated loans and led to a reduction in credit demand[7] - M1 and M2 growth rates improved, with M1 rising to 5.6% and M2 to 8.8% year-on-year, driven by increased non-bank deposits[7] - In July, the total new loans for households and enterprises were both negative when excluding bill financing, indicating a weak credit environment[7]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the first half of the year, fiscal expenditure was front - loaded, while fiscal revenue was weak. The general budget fiscal deficit increased year - on - year, and the broad fiscal deficit rate was at a relatively high level. In June, the growth rates of general public budget revenue and expenditure both declined, while those of government - funded revenue and expenditure increased significantly. In the second half of the year, the intensity of fiscal expenditure is expected to decline, and policy - based financial instruments are expected to be introduced in the third quarter, while other incremental fiscal policies may need to wait [1][3][4][5]. Summary by Directory 1. First - half Fiscal Operation - **Revenue and Expenditure Growth**: From January to June, the cumulative year - on - year growth rate of broad fiscal revenue was - 0.6%, remaining negative. The year - on - year growth rate of broad fiscal expenditure was 8.9%, indicating front - loaded expenditure. In June, the year - on - year growth rates of broad fiscal revenue and expenditure were 2.8% and 17.6% respectively, showing marginal improvement [9]. - **Budget Completion**: Compared with the annual budget, the revenue side fell short of expectations. The cumulative year - on - year growth rate of general public budget revenue was - 0.3% (the annual budget was + 0.1%), mainly due to the actual - 1.2% growth of tax revenue (the annual budget was + 3.7%) and the 3.7% growth of non - tax revenue (the annual budget was - 14.2%). The cumulative year - on - year growth rate of government bond fund revenue was - 2.4%, and it was still challenging to achieve the 0.7% annual budget growth. On the expenditure side, the growth rate of fiscal expenditure was 3.4%, slightly lower than the 4.4% annual budget growth. The growth rate of government - funded expenditure was 30%, slightly lower than the 23.1% annual budget growth, and its sustainability needs further observation [1][11]. - **Deficit and Debt**: The general budget fiscal deficit in the first half of the year was 2.57 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of about 0.5 trillion yuan. Assuming a 4% nominal GDP growth this year, the cumulative broad fiscal deficit rate from January to June was 3.7%, at a relatively high level compared with previous years, similar to 2022, indicating strong support from debt income for fiscal expenditure. The issuance of general treasury bonds, replacement special bonds, and special treasury bonds was front - loaded, and the issuance of special bonds was neutral with an accelerating trend since the end of June [1][2][15]. 2. June Fiscal Data Review - **Revenue Side**: In June, the year - on - year growth rate of general public budget revenue turned negative (- 0.3%), but the structure improved. Tax revenue increased by 1.0% year - on - year, and non - tax revenue decreased by 3.7% year - on - year. Among taxes, personal income tax, domestic VAT, and securities trading stamp duty had relatively high growth rates. The year - on - year growth rate of government - funded revenue was 20.8%, a significant improvement, but its sustainability may be weak due to the continued weak growth of real estate investment [3][22][27]. - **Expenditure Side**: The expenditure intensity of the general public budget decreased, with a year - on - year growth rate of 0.38%. The year - on - year growth rate of government - funded expenditure increased significantly to 79.2%, mainly due to the improvement of government - funded revenue in June and the impact of the issuance of special treasury bonds since April. Structurally, traditional infrastructure expenditure continued to contract, while expenditure on science and technology and social security had relatively high growth rates [3][30]. 3. Outlook for the Second - half Fiscal Situation - **Expenditure Intensity**: The intensity of fiscal expenditure is expected to decline in the second half of the year. The net financing scale of government bonds is expected to decrease. It is estimated that the net financing of local bonds in the third and fourth quarters will be 1.7 trillion yuan and 537.4 billion yuan respectively, and that of treasury bonds will be 1.6 trillion yuan and 1.7 trillion yuan respectively. The net financing of government bonds in the third and fourth quarters will be 3.3 trillion yuan and 2.2 trillion yuan respectively, with a significant year - on - year decrease, which may drag down the year - on - year growth of fiscal expenditure. In addition, the scale of special bonds for project expenditure is also expected to decline in the second half of the year [4][34]. - **Policy Expectations**: The third quarter may enter a policy observation period. Policy - based financial instruments are expected to be introduced, but the timing is uncertain. Other incremental fiscal policies may need to wait until after the introduction of policy - based financial instruments or when the domestic economy weakens [5][41].
