Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - In November, the new social financing scale was not low, mainly driven by corporate credit and off - balance - sheet financing. However, the credit structure remained poor, with bill financing reaching a record high for the same period, corporate medium - and long - term loans at the lowest level since 2016 for the same period, and both short - term and medium - and long - term household loans at record lows for the same period. The credit demand of the real sector was significantly weak. Looking ahead, the net financing scale of government bonds in December may decline slightly month - on - month, still dragging down social financing. The intensive implementation of 500 billion yuan of policy - based financial instrument support projects from October to December may boost social financing to some extent, but the weak credit demand and the banks' desire to reserve projects for January next year may cause significant disturbances to social financing [6][33]. 3. Summary by Content Social Financing Aggregate - In November, the stock growth rate of social financing remained flat at 8.5%. The new social financing in November was 2.49 trillion yuan, an increase of 159.7 billion yuan year - on - year. Compared with the average of 2.3 trillion yuan in the same period of the past five years, the new social financing scale in November this year was not much different from the historical average, falling at the upper edge of the new scale in the same period of the past five years [2][8]. Factors Contributing to the Increase in Social Financing - Off - balance - sheet financing was one of the main contributors to the year - on - year increase in social financing this month. In November, trust loans and undiscounted bank acceptance bills in the off - balance - sheet financing items both increased year - on - year, supporting social financing. The new trust loan scale in November has generally declined compared with October since 2020, but this month's trend was anti - seasonal, possibly related to the recently launched new policy - based financial instrument support projects. In addition, corporate bonds were another supporting item for the increase in social financing this month. In November, new corporate bonds increased by 178.8 billion yuan to 416.9 billion yuan, the highest level in the same period since 2020, and were the only item with an increase in direct financing projects [3][15][18]. Credit Structure - There was a divergence between the total social financing and the credit structure. Although the overall performance of social financing in November was not bad, credit was still weak. Corporate sector credit increased by 360 billion yuan year - on - year to 610 billion yuan, mainly driven by short - term corporate loans and bill financing, while medium - and long - term corporate loans decreased year - on - year. Household sector credit had a negative growth for the first time in the same period in history [4][20]. - New medium - and long - term corporate loans were at the lowest level in the same period since 2016. The reasons for the year - on - year increase in corporate sector credit this year were the low base of corporate sector credit in November 2024 and the simultaneous efforts of short - term corporate loans and bill financing in November this year, which pushed up the corporate credit scale this month. In November, short - term corporate loans increased by 110 billion yuan year - on - year to 100 billion yuan, higher than the average of 50.2 billion yuan in the same period of the past five years. The new short - term corporate loan scale this year has always been at the upper edge of the historical same period, possibly because although the economy was sluggish, enterprises still needed a certain amount of funds for business turnover, and banks may also have vigorously issued short - term corporate loans at the end of the quarter to boost the scale. The new bill financing scale in November was at a record high for the same period, indicating that corporate credit issuance was still weak, and bill financing was used to increase the total credit scale. Medium - and long - term corporate loans decreased by 40 billion yuan year - on - year to 170 billion yuan, the lowest level in the same period since 2016, and the growth rate of the balance of medium - and long - term corporate loans further declined by 0.05 percentage points to 7.8%, having declined for 28 consecutive months [4][20][21]. - Household sector credit had a negative growth for the first time in the same period in history. In November, household sector credit decreased by 476.3 billion yuan year - on - year to - 206.3 billion yuan. Among them, short - term household loans decreased by 178.8 billion yuan year - on - year to - 215.8 billion yuan, also setting a record low for the same period. Contrary to short - term corporate loans, short - term household loans have basically been at the lower edge of the historical same period this year, and have even set record lows for the same period many times, possibly indicating weak household consumption willingness against the background of unstable income expectations. Medium - and long - term household loans decreased by 290 billion yuan year - on - year to 1 billion yuan, also the lowest value for the same period. The year - on - year growth rate of the sales area of commercial housing in 30 large and medium - sized cities in November declined to - 30.91%, the lowest level since May 2024, while the growth rate of the commercial housing sales area in the same period last year was 11.6%, indicating that current household home - buying willingness was also weak [5][24]. M1 and M2 - The growth rate of M1 continued to decline by 1.3 percentage points. In November this year, the monthly incremental scale of M1 was 0.89 trillion yuan, while the incremental scale of M1 in November last year was 2.15 trillion yuan. As the impact of the ban on manual interest compensation had gradually dissipated and the low - base effect faded, the growth rate of M1 continued to decline by 1.3 percentage points to 4.9% in November [6][25]. - Fiscal expenditure had limited support for M2. In terms of deposits, both household and corporate deposits decreased year - on - year in November, indicating that deposit creation was also not ideal against the background of sluggish loans. At the same time, non - bank deposits decreased by 100 billion yuan year - on - year to 80 billion yuan, and the new scale was significantly lower than that in the same period since 2022. Historically, the growth rate of the non - bank deposit balance had a certain similarity with the trend of the Shanghai Composite Index. The stock market had a slight correction in November, which may have led to a low new non - bank deposit scale in November. In summary, the growth rate of M2 further declined by 0.2 percentage points to 8% in November. In addition, fiscal deposits decreased by 190 billion yuan year - on - year to - 50 billion yuan. The fiscal expenditure intensity was generally weaker than that from 2021 to 2023 and stronger than that in 2024, but its support for the M2 growth rate was limited [6][30].
