Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Focus - The conference call primarily discusses the banking sector's credit allocation strategies, particularly focusing on emerging manufacturing and technology innovation sectors. [1][2][4] Key Points and Arguments Credit Allocation Trends - Banks are shifting their credit focus towards emerging manufacturing and technology innovation sectors, with loan growth rates exceeding 15% in these areas. [2][4] - Support for high-tech SMEs is also strong, with double-digit loan growth. [2] - The overall credit growth for the residential sector is weak, heavily relying on corporate business. [1][7] Project Reserve and Expectations - The reserve for "opening red" projects in Q1 2026 is under pressure, with current reserves 70% lower than the same period last year. [1][7] - The bank is actively preparing for this by accumulating projects, although the current reserve is not meeting expectations. [5][6] Impact of Policy Tools - The introduction of a new 500 billion yuan policy financial tool is expected to leverage bank credit allocation, particularly benefiting high-tech industries. [1][4] - The capital ratio for projects utilizing this tool is between 20% to 30%, indicating a strong correlation with loan growth in high-tech sectors. [4] Regional Performance - Regions such as Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Guangdong show strong corporate credit performance, while inland areas like Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia also perform well. [2][9] - However, other regions are underperforming, with low willingness to increase leverage due to historical issues. [1][9] Real Estate Sector Insights - The recent Vanke bond extension event did not significantly alter the bank's overall credit direction towards the real estate sector, maintaining cautious support for quality projects and state-owned enterprises. [2][30] - The real estate market's downturn is impacting industry dynamics and bank collateral auctions.

Core Viewpoint - The November manufacturing PMI shows a seasonal rebound post-holiday, but underlying signals indicate unusual trends that warrant deeper analysis [1]. Group 1: Manufacturing PMI Overview - The November manufacturing PMI typically rises due to increased working days compared to October's holiday month, with an average increase of 0.17 percentage points from 2015 to 2024; this year, it increased by 0.2 percentage points, aligning with seasonal trends [1]. - The main drivers of the PMI increase are the new orders index and production index, with the former rising by 0.4 percentage points to 49.2% and the latter by 0.3 percentage points to 50.0% [3]. Group 2: Demand and Supply Dynamics - Although the production index has reached the neutral line, the demand side shows stronger improvement, with the new orders index reflecting seasonal growth while the production index remains weak; this divergence suggests that "anti-involution" policies are facilitating orderly adjustments on the supply side, potentially leading to a balanced supply-demand landscape [4]. Group 3: Price Indicators - Price indicators are sending positive signals, with the raw materials purchasing price index rising by 1.1 percentage points to 53.6% and the factory price index increasing by 0.7 percentage points to 48.2%, indicating potential for continued improvement in overall PPI growth; however, the greater improvement in upstream prices compared to downstream suggests that corporate profit margins may be narrowing [7]. Group 4: Export and Sector Performance - The November export sector showed significant improvement, with the new export orders index rising by 1.7 percentage points, driven by two main factors: a phase one trade agreement between China and the U.S. and the upcoming overseas Christmas order season [9]. - The construction PMI has risen by 0.5 percentage points to 49.6%, marking the largest increase since June, reflecting the effectiveness of new policy financial tools; in contrast, the service sector PMI has decreased by 0.7 percentage points, indicating a need for stronger measures to enhance service consumption mechanisms [9].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - In November, although the manufacturing economic activity did not exceed expectations, there were still positive factors. The emerging industries' prosperity rebounded first, the inventory problem caused by supply - demand imbalance was continuously digested, and the price upward trend remained unchanged with a continuous repair expectation for next year. The impact of new policy - based financial instruments on the industry and market was still in the early stages, and the actual work volume needed further verification next year [5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Demand Drags Production, and De - stocking Exceeds Re - stocking - The drag of previous supply - demand imbalance on production emerged. The production index was weak in the past two months, and the procurement volume was below the critical value for two consecutive months. The "new order index - production index" reached a peak in September [13]. - Manufacturing enterprises have been actively de - stocking for nearly half a year. The inventory growth rate was already at a historically low level, and the downward space was limited. Compared with previous inventory cycles, this cycle had two characteristics: the peak was much lower and the inventory state switched frequently at a low level. The active re - stocking period was short, and the active de - stocking period was long. This was favorable for the bond market [16]. 3.2 Differentiation between Traditional Manufacturing and Emerging Industries - Traditional manufacturing has been in a downturn since April, with PMI below the boom - bust line for 8 consecutive months. However, emerging industries showed improvement since September. The EPMI index of emerging industries was above the boom - bust line for 3 consecutive months, and the BCI index of high - quality private enterprises also rose above the line, with sub - items such as corporate financing environment and investment forward - looking index improving significantly [19]. - The improvement in the prosperity of emerging industries boosted the employment market. The BCI corporate recruitment forward - looking index improved, and the "Internet unemployment benefit search index" decreased. The 500 billion yuan new policy - based financial instruments, fully invested by the end of October, supported over 2,300 projects with a total investment of about 7 trillion yuan, showing a strong pulling effect on emerging industries [19][25]. 3.3 Rare Contraction in Service Industry Prosperity - This month, the non - manufacturing PMI dropped 0.6 points to 49.5, falling below the critical value for the first time excluding public health events. The construction industry was at the bottom, and the service industry was the main drag. The service industry PMI dropped 0.7 points to 49.5, which was a rare contraction. This was related to seasonal factors and the real - estate sales slump [5][26]. - Some industries in the service industry, such as railway transportation, telecommunications, and finance, were in a high - prosperity range, while real - estate and residential services were below the critical point [28][29].
