今年前四个月存款同比多增超5万亿元
Hua Xia Shi Bao· 2025-05-21 11:13
冉学东 居民风险偏好有所收敛。 央行最新发布的数据显示,今年前四个月我国人民币存款增加了12.55万亿元,而去年前四个月人民币存款增加了 7.32万亿元,两相比较超过5.23万亿元,多增加了超三分之二,这个增幅是近几年最大的。 从细项看,住户存款增幅较大,2024年前四个月住户存款增加6.71万亿元,今年前四月住户存款增加7.83万亿元, 今年比去年增加了1.1万亿元。 而从居民的融资看,居民的风险偏好仍然在收敛,消费信心改善迹象不明显,未来消费趋势是否好转,居民融资 仍然是一个好的观察窗口。 变化最大的是非金融企业存款,今年前四个月非金融企业存款增加了4103亿元,去年则是减少了1.65万亿元。财 政性存款增幅也较大,今年增加了1.19万亿元,去年则是减少了1874亿元。 非金融企业存款数据为什么会有这样的变化呢,我们说贷款创造存款,去年前四个月企(事)业单位贷款增加 8.63万亿元,其中,短期贷款增加2.56万亿元,中长期贷款增加6.61万亿元;今年企(事)业单位贷款增加9.27万 亿元,其中,短期贷款增加3.03万亿元,中长期贷款增加5.83万亿元。由此看,这两年企业贷款变化不是很明显, 不能说明问题。 ...

4月社融数据点评:信贷投放有待回暖
Yong Xing Zheng Quan· 2025-05-19 06:07
固定收益/固收点评 信贷投放有待回暖 ——4 月社融数据点评 ◼ 核心观点 事件:2025 年 5 月 15 日,央行公布 2025 年 4 月金融统计数据:广义 货币 M2 同比增长 8.00%;狭义货币 M1 同比增长 1.50%。2025 年 4 月末社会融资规模存量同比增长 8.7%;2025 年前四个月社会融资规 模增量累计为 16.34 万亿元,比上年同期多 3.61 万亿元。 存量财政政策加速落地,政府融资支持 4 月社融数据增长。4 月社融 同比增速为 8.70%;新增社融初值为 11,585.00 亿元。其中 4 月政府债 券净融资 9,762 亿元,较上年同期多增 10,699 亿元,有力的支撑了社 融规模增长。政府融资是带动新增社融同比多增的重要因素,体现出 政府加杠杆的托底作用;社融结构上的变化体现了财政的支持力度保 持,得益于近期财政存量政策加速落地,我们认为其有望为二季度经 济的稳定增长奠定基调,具体增长结构或还需要针对性发力。4 月社 融口径下信贷乏力:新增人民币贷款 844 亿元,比上年同期少增 2,465 亿元。直接融资方面:4 月企业债净融资增加。非标方面:4 月新增非 标 ...
2025年4月金融数据点评:财政靠前发力和低基数支撑社融、实体经济融资需求仍弱
