Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the October social financing data, highlighting a lower-than-expected increase in social financing and a decline in credit to the real economy, primarily driven by reduced household loans and a challenging real estate market [1][6][7].

Credit to Real Economy - Credit to the real economy decreased by 201 billion yuan, with a year-on-year reduction of 3.166 trillion yuan.
