Significant increases in licensing transactions are expected by 2025, with investment opportunities in bispecific antibodies, ADC drugs, and weight-loss medications anticipated for 2026 [1][8][9][10] - **Basic Chemical Industry Advantages**: The basic chemical industry ranks fourth in direct exports, leveraging its industrial chain and scale advantages to gain market share and price advantages in overseas markets, benefiting from the "East rises, West declines" trend [1][11][12] Emerging Opportunities - **Automotive Industry Export Growth**: The export of passenger vehicles is projected to reach 6.5 million units in 2026, with over 50% being new energy vehicles.

中金公司研报指出，受益于中国经济的持续发展和政策有效推动，人民币国际化程度和储备货币地位自 国际金融危机后稳步上升，但相较中国经济地位尚有很大提升空间。进一步推进人民币国际化、加强人 民币储备货币地位，既是中国经济发展的历史机遇和实际需要，也有利于改善国际货币体系的运行和世 界经济的发展。我们进一步通过市场主体调研发现，提升人民币国际化和储备地位的主要障碍在两方 面。一方面，瓶颈突出表现为贸易结算占比远低于贸易份额，背后是市场地位、融资条件和金融市场发 展、历史惯性等内外因素。另一方面，短板集中体现在金融市场发展和开放不足，从贸易结算、融资货 币选择和汇率锚等多个渠道限制了对人民币的外汇储备持有。展望人民币国际化下一步的发展，根本而 言仍是市场力量驱动下水到渠成的结果，但适时适当的政策可以助推这一进程。我们提出了"三驾马 车"齐头并进的思路和具体的举措与建议，重点突破人民币跨境贸易结算、推进金融市场发展和开放、 以区域化为抓手推动人民币国际化和储备地位的持续提升。相信在上述市场力量和政策推动的作用下， 人民币有望更好克服与应对当前面临的内部障碍与外部挑战，抓住历史机遇，实现储备货币地位的跃 升。 ...
