Group 1: Liquidity Expectations - The M1 growth rate fell in December, with a monthly increase of 2.6 trillion yuan, raising debates about liquidity transmission and corporate investment willingness [2][3]. - Some analysts believe the decline in M1 growth is due to a high base effect, while others point to a decrease in corporate and household liquidity willingness, as indicated by a drop in M0 and demand deposits [3]. - M2 growth increased by 0.5 percentage points to 8.5%, but M1 did not show a corresponding improvement, suggesting that credit expansion has not effectively converted into demand deposits [3].
