Corporate loans increased significantly, while retail loans saw a notable decline due to regulatory tightening and weak housing demand [14][15].

Group 1: Report's Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current social financing growth rate has at least ended the stage of unilateral decline. In some statistical calibers, there is a trend of rising from the bottom [3][45] - The decline space of the current social financing growth rate is very limited, and the actual financing demand of enterprises is expected to rise from the bottom. The original unilateral decline guidance needs to be re - thought [5] - The social financing growth rate and M2 supply should match the economic development and expected price level in 2026, and it may not be what the policy wants to see if it is significantly lower than the sum of the two [4] Group 3: Summary of Each Section 1. Has the social financing growth rate bottomed out? 1.1 Different calculation methods of social financing growth rate - Due to the changes in the social financing caliber and the impact of debt resolution in the past two years, the guiding effect of social financing on the bond market has weakened. The report conducts multi - caliber analysis of social financing and restores the impact of debt resolution to analyze its details and future trends [12] - Since 2018, the social financing statistical caliber has been adjusted many times. In 2025, government bonds accounted for more than 20% of the social financing stock. Excluding government bonds, the social financing growth rate has oscillated around 6% in the past two years, and its guiding significance for interest rates has become stronger [14] - After excluding government bonds, further excluding corporate bill financing and undiscounted bank acceptances, the social financing growth rate has increased slightly in the past two years, and its guiding significance for interest rates has also become stronger [17][18] - Credit cannot fully reflect the real - entity financing demand. In 2025, A - share new financing marginally rebounded, and H - share new financing continued to climb. There is a substitution effect between corporate loans and industrial bonds, and the loan - bond spread is the core driving factor [20][24][28] - The decline of the balance growth rate of enterprise core credit financing has slowed down and has been relatively stable in the past six months. Considering non - financial industrial bonds, the core social financing growth rate of enterprises has increased significantly since the fourth quarter of 2025 [33][35] 1.2 What are the impacts of debt resolution? - Since the debt - resolution policy in 2023, especially after the local government bond swap for implicit debt policy in 2024, it has impacted the social financing growth rate and credit growth rate [39] - After restoring the impact of debt resolution, the credit growth rate, the social financing growth rate excluding government bonds, and the social financing growth rate excluding government bonds and bills in 2025 all experienced a process of rising first and then falling. Using enterprise core social financing (including industrial bonds) for restoration, the growth rate can be observed to oscillate and rebound at the bottom [41] 2. What are the policy requirements for the social financing growth rate? - The government work report in 2026 stated that the social financing scale and money supply growth should match the economic growth and price level expected target. In the past few years, the social financing growth rate was basically higher than the sum of the two, but the social financing growth rate excluding government bonds was lower than that. In 2025, the social financing growth rate excluding government bonds was only 5.94%. In 2026, the decline space of the social financing growth rate is limited, and the actual financing demand of enterprises is expected to rise from the bottom [48][49]

Summary by Relevant Catalogs Forecast of New Loans - In February 2026, new loans are expected to be 750 billion yuan, less than the same period last year.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - In January 2026, new loans increased significantly less year-on-year, reflecting weak credit demand. The Spring Festival in 2026 was late, and the early repayment of personal loans before the Spring Festival might affect February's personal loan data. Due to the forward - leaning credit delivery rhythm and weak credit demand, new loans in 2026 may continue to increase less year - on - year [2]. - The M1 growth rate temporarily rebounded. The new - caliber M1 growth rate at the end of January 2026 was 4.9%, up 1.1 percentage points from the end of last month, mainly due to the low year - on - year base and active stock market transactions. The M2 growth rate at the end of January was 9.0%, up 0.5 percentage points from the end of last month, mainly affected by the year - on - year base [2]. - The social financing growth rate declined month - on - month in January 2026, and it is expected to continue to decline in 2026. The social financing increment in January was 7.22 trillion yuan, a slight year - on - year increase. It is expected that new loans (in the social financing caliber) will increase slightly less year - on - year in 2026, the net financing of government bonds will expand year - on - year, the social financing increment will be similar year - on - year, and the social financing growth rate will decline slightly, reaching about 7.5% at the end of 2026 [2]. - There is further room for the long - term bond yield to decline. The long - term bond yield may decline by 5 - 10BP in the first quarter, the 10Y Treasury bond yield is expected to reach 1.75%, the 30Y Treasury bond active bond may return below 2.2%, and the 1Y large - bank inter - bank certificate of deposit rate may fall below 1.55%. It is expected that the 10Y Treasury bond yield will fluctuate in the range of 1.6% - 1.9% in 2026, and the bond market trend may be significantly stronger than the initial expectation [2].
