1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report In August 2025, fiscal revenue and expenditure performance was relatively stable. Tax revenue's cumulative year - on - year growth turned positive for the first time, possibly an early sign of improved economic vitality, but land transfer revenue still had a large drag, reflecting the inertia of the "old economy." The general budget target for this year is not difficult to achieve, while the government - funded budget may face a certain gap, but policy - based financial instruments may form a certain hedge [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 General Budget Revenue - **Overall Growth and Composition**: In August, the national general budget revenue increased by 2.0% year - on - year, slightly lower than July. Tax revenue increased by 3.4% (previous value 5.0%), and non - tax revenue's year - on - year decline narrowed from - 12.9% to - 3.8%. From January to August, tax revenue's cumulative year - on - year growth was 0.02%, the first positive growth this year, and non - tax revenue's cumulative year - on - year growth was 1.5% [1]. - **Total Progress and Regional Differences**: From January to August, the cumulative year - on - year growth of general budget revenue was 0.3%, 0.1% higher than the annual budget target, and about 67% of the annual budget was completed, slightly faster than the same period last year. In August, the year - on - year growth of central and local fiscal revenues was both 2.0%, with a slight decline from the previous value. Considering the convergence of economic data in recent months, there may still be some pressure on revenue growth in the future [2]. 3.2 Tax Structure - **High - growth Taxes**: In August, value - added tax, personal income tax, and corporate income tax continued to grow rapidly. Value - added tax increased by 4.4% year - on - year, personal income tax and corporate income tax increased by 9.7% and 33.4% respectively, mainly related to strengthened tax supervision, active capital markets, and improved corporate profitability [3]. - **Slowing - growth Taxes**: The year - on - year growth rate of consumption tax slowed down to 0.9% (previous value 5.4%). Low consumer enthusiasm and high - base pressure in the fourth quarter may affect consumption tax revenue [3]. - **Declining Taxes**: The decline of real - estate - related taxes widened, with a 11.6% year - on - year decrease in August. Real - estate policies had limited impact on sales, and investment and construction indicators continued to decline [4]. - **Increasing Taxes**: The year - on - year growth of stamp duty further increased, with the year - on - year growth of stamp duty rising from 24% in July to 154%, and the year - on - year growth of securities trading stamp duty rising from 125% to 226%, due to the strong rise of the stock market [4]. 3.3 General Budget Expenditure - **Overall Growth**: In August, general public budget expenditure increased by 0.8% year - on - year, slower than the previous value of 3.0%. The cumulative year - on - year growth in the first eight months was 3.1%, lower than the annual budget target of 4.4% [5]. - **Expenditure Areas**: The main driving force was still people's livelihood expenditure, such as social security and employment, health, and education. Infrastructure - related expenditure was still weak, and the growth rate of generalized and narrow - sense infrastructure investment declined [5]. 3.4 Government - Funded Revenue - **Overall Growth**: In August, government - funded revenue decreased by 5.7% year - on - year, turning negative from positive. From January to August, the cumulative year - on - year growth was - 1.4%, lower than the annual budget target of 0.7%. Land transfer revenue's cumulative year - on - year decline was 4.7% [6]. - **Completion Progress and Forecast**: By August, government - funded revenue had completed about 42% of the annual budget. Assuming the current real - estate demand trend continues, the annual revenue growth of the second - account budget is expected to be around - 5%, resulting in a revenue gap of 300 - 500 billion yuan [6]. 3.5 Government - Funded Expenditure - **Growth and Reasons**: In August, government - funded expenditure increased by 19.8% year - on - year, still maintaining high growth. The cumulative year - on - year growth in the first eight months was 30.0%, above the annual budget target of 23.1%. The high - intensity expenditure was mainly due to the front - loaded issuance of local bonds and the injection of special treasury bonds [7]. - **Combined Fiscal Deficit**: The combined broad - fiscal deficit of the two accounts in the first eight months was 6.7 trillion yuan, nearly 2 trillion yuan higher than the same period last year. After excluding the 500 - billion - yuan special treasury bond for capital injection, the broad - fiscal deficit was 6.2 trillion yuan, comparable to the same period in 2022 [7]. 3.6 Future Fiscal Concerns - **Rhythm**: In the third quarter, replacement bonds and special treasury bonds were completed successively. In the fourth quarter, government bond supply will enter a low - season, and the fiscal support for the economy will decline year - on - year, but there is still room for the expenditure of existing funds, mainly in the general budget [9]. - **Tools**: In August, core economic indicators weakened, and the market expected pro - growth policies. However, considering the small gap in the annual target, the possibility of additional fiscal deficits in the fourth quarter is low. Policy - based financial instruments are the core focus, and attention should also be paid to whether there is incremental support for implicit debt resolution [9]. - **Investment Direction**: This year, fiscal focus is not only on infrastructure, but also on child - rearing subsidies, urban renewal, consumer loan interest subsidies, and enterprise arrears. These will still be the focus of future efforts, and attention should be paid to whether there is incremental capital support [9].

Core Viewpoint - The fiscal data for August 2025 indicates a slowdown in both revenue and expenditure growth, reflecting a need to boost domestic demand. Attention should be paid to the release of "quasi-fiscal" functions following the implementation of policy financial tools and the early allocation of new special bond quotas [1][3]. Revenue Summary - In the first eight months of 2025, national general public budget revenue grew by 0.3% year-on-year, with August's growth at 2%, down from 2.6% in July. The narrowing decline in PPI has alleviated the drag on tax revenue, while the income from securities transaction stamp duty has provided notable support. The internal growth momentum of the economy still needs enhancement, and macro policies require further strengthening [1]. - Corporate income tax revenue saw a significant rebound, primarily due to a low base from the previous year. Personal income tax and consumption tax revenue growth slowed, although personal income tax still performed well, while consumption tax remained at a low level. The high growth in securities transaction stamp duty revenue is linked to recent stock market activity. Additionally, vehicle purchase tax and land value-added tax revenues showed significant declines, while export tax rebate revenue growth rebounded, indicating a need to boost domestic demand [1]. Expenditure Summary - In the first eight months of 2025, national general public budget expenditure increased by 3.1% year-on-year, with August's growth at 0.8%, down from 3% in July, likely constrained by revenue. Expenditure in the livelihood sector continued to grow significantly, while infrastructure spending remained low. Social security, employment, and education expenditures maintained high growth rates, while spending on energy conservation, environmental protection, and transportation saw a substantial rebound, mainly due to a low base from the previous year. Expenditures in urban and rural communities, as well as agriculture, forestry, and water resources, experienced a widening decline [2]. Government Fund Summary - In the first eight months of 2025, national government fund budget revenue decreased by 1.4%, with August's growth at -5.7%, down from 8.9% in July. This decline is attributed to the pressure on the land market due to adjustments in the real estate market. Conversely, government fund budget expenditure grew by 30.0% year-on-year, driven by accelerated issuance and utilization of bond funds by various levels of government. In August, government fund budget expenditure increased by 19.8%, down from 42.4% in July, but still showed strong performance [2]. Policy Focus - Moving forward, it is essential for fiscal policy to continue to strengthen. The implementation of policy financial tools is expected to release "quasi-fiscal" functions, which may support the expansion of domestic demand. Additionally, the Ministry of Finance has indicated the early allocation of part of the new local government debt limit for 2026, aiming to utilize debt capacity proactively and address existing hidden debt [3].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating for the Industry No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The fiscal data in July continued to show a warming trend. The improvement on the tax side led to a slight acceleration in narrow - fiscal spending, while broad - fiscal spending maintained resilience supported by special bonds for bank capital injection and ultra - long - term special bonds. Based on the current progress, it is estimated that the fiscal strength in the second half of the year can achieve a smooth continuation, and the probability of supplementing fiscal funds through additional bond issuance within the year is low [1][8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Sections Tax Revenue Situation - In July 2025, the national general budget revenue increased by 2.7% year - on - year, with significant tax contribution. Tax revenue increased by 5.0% year - on - year, 4 percentage points higher than the previous value, while non - tax revenue decreased by 12.9% year - on - year, with negative growth for three consecutive months and an expanding decline. The total general budget revenue from January to July increased by 0.1% year - on - year, reaching the annual budget target and completing about 62% of the annual budget, faster than the same period last year. In July, central fiscal revenue increased by 2.2% year - on - year, and local fiscal revenue increased by 3.1% year - on - year [1][2]. - In terms of tax structure, major tax items generally showed high year - on - year growth. Personal income tax and consumption tax increased by 13.9% and 5.4% respectively in July, with their cumulative year - on - year growth from January to July being 8.8% and 2.1%. Corporate income tax increased by 6.4% year - on - year in July. VAT increased by 4.3% year - on - year in July, showing a slight decline but overall remaining stable. Most real - estate - related taxes saw a decline in growth, while securities trading stamp duty increased significantly by 125.4% year - on - year in July [3][4]. General Budget Expenditure - In July, general public budget expenditure increased by 3.0% year - on - year, 2.7 percentage points higher than the previous value. The cumulative year - on - year growth from January to July was 3.4%, 1 percentage point away from the annual target. The main driving force for expenditure was on the livelihood front, such as social security and employment, health, and education, while infrastructure - related expenditure remained in the negative range, and science - related expenditure turned negative [4]. Government - Fund Revenue - In July, national government - fund revenue increased by 8.9% year - on - year, with a marginal slowdown in growth. The cumulative year - on - year decline from January to July further narrowed to 0.7%, and the annual budget target is 0.7%. The cumulative year - on - year decline in state - owned land use right transfer revenue narrowed to 4.6%. The government - fund revenue in the first half of the year completed about 37% of the annual progress, significantly faster than the same period last year [6]. Government - Fund Expenditure - In July, national government - fund expenditure increased by 42.4% year - on - year, still at a high level although it declined compared to the previous value. The cumulative year - on - year growth in the first half of the year was 31.7%, above the annual budget target of 23.1%. The budget completion progress of government - fund expenditure for the whole year was about 43%, faster than the same period in previous years. The combined broad - fiscal deficit of the two accounts in the first seven months reached 5.6 trillion, 1.8 trillion higher than the same period last year [7]. Overall Fiscal Outlook - The first - account target is expected to be achieved, while the second - account may have a small gap. Assuming the annual growth rate of the second - account revenue is around - 5%, there may be a revenue gap of about 300 - 50 billion by the end of the year. However, government - fund revenue and expenditure are not rigid requirements, and the expected 500 - billion - yuan policy - based financial instruments can basically offset the gap [8].

Report Industry Investment Rating No information regarding the report industry investment rating is provided in the given content. Core View of the Report - In June 2025, the fiscal data continued to show a warming trend. The revenue side had highlights such as personal income tax, and land sales revenue also marginally stabilized. The expenditure side continued to reflect the characteristics of fiscal efforts. Based on the current progress, the annual general budget revenue and expenditure targets are expected to be achieved, and there may be a small gap in government - managed funds, but policy - based financial tools and local debt limit space in the second half of the year may provide some flexibility. Overall, the fiscal situation is better than last year [11]. - The broad - based fiscal deficit of the two accounts combined in the first half of the year reached 5.3 trillion, significantly higher than the same period in 2023 and 2024, and comparable to 2022. It is expected to remain active in the second half of the year. Key areas to focus on in the future include major infrastructure projects and "urban renewal" policies [11]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. General Budget Revenue - **Revenue Growth and Composition**: In June 2025, the national general budget revenue decreased by 0.3% year - on - year, with non - tax revenue being a significant drag. Tax revenue increased by 1.0% year - on - year, while non - tax revenue decreased by 3.7% year - on - year and has been on a continuous downward trend this year. The decline in non - tax revenue is expected to continue, and tax revenue may be the focus of the revenue side this year [1]. - **Revenue Target Progress**: In the first half of the year, the cumulative year - on - year growth of general budget revenue was - 0.3%, 0.4 percentage points short of the annual target (0.1%), and it completed about 53% of the annual budget, slightly faster than the same period last year and basically in line with the average of the past five years [2]. - **Central and Local Revenue**: In June, central fiscal revenue decreased by 1.8% year - on - year, while local fiscal revenue increased by 0.6% year - on - year [2]. 2. Tax Structure - **Main Tax Items**: - **Value - Added Tax and Personal Income Tax**: In June, the year - on - year growth rates of value - added tax and personal income tax were 6.8% and 5.0% respectively, showing a slight decline from the previous values. However, from the perspective of cumulative year - on - year growth and absolute scale in the first half of the year, they were at relatively high levels in recent years. The sustainability of the year - on - year increase in personal income tax remains to be observed [3]. - **Consumption Tax and Corporate Income Tax**: In June, corporate income tax increased by 2.7% year - on - year (previous value: 0.0%), and vehicle purchase tax increased by 6.0% year - on - year. The acceleration of consumption tax (2.0%) deviated from the year - on - year decline in social retail sales, which may reflect differences in the tax collection rhythm within the year [3]. - **Real Estate - Related Taxes**: In June, the year - on - year decline of transaction - related taxes (deed tax, land value - added tax) narrowed slightly, and the year - on - year growth rates of holding - related taxes such as property tax and arable land occupation tax were 20.7% and 9.6% respectively, which may be related to the rebound in the new construction and construction area of real estate, but the investment side is still at the bottom - grinding stage [4]. - **Stamp Duty and Securities Transaction Stamp Duty**: In June, stamp duty and securities transaction stamp duty increased by 30.7% and 67.1% year - on - year respectively, mainly due to the increase in stock market trading volume and activity [5]. 3. General Budget Expenditure - **Expenditure Growth**: In June, general public budget expenditure increased by 0.4% year - on - year, down from the previous value of 2.6%. The cumulative year - on - year growth in the first half of the year was 3.4%, falling below the annual target of 4.4% [6]. - **Expenditure by Category**: - **Livelihood - Related Expenditure**: In June, social security and employment and health expenditures increased by 8.2% and 5.6% year - on - year respectively, showing resilience, while education expenditure growth slowed to 2.4% (previous value: 3.5%) [6]. - **Infrastructure - Related Expenditure**: In June, expenditures on agriculture, forestry and water, transportation, and urban and rural communities decreased by 10.0%, 12.7%, and 8.1% year - on - year respectively. The year - on - year growth rate of narrow - based infrastructure investment in June was 2.0% (- 3.1 pct), showing a certain slowdown, which may be related to the infrastructure funding gap period [6]. - **Science and Technology and Debt Interest Expenditure**: In June, science and technology expenditure increased by 18.1% year - on - year, while debt interest expenditure decreased by 6.3% year - on - year. As of the end of June, the cumulative net issuance of national debt was 3.4 trillion, and the net issuance of local debt was 4.4 trillion, with a total net issuance of government bonds of 7.8 trillion, accounting for nearly 60% of the annual quota. The budget expenditure completion rate in the first half of the year was only about 48%, the same as last year, which may be restricted by the decline in non - tax revenue and the narrow - based infrastructure gap period [8]. 4. Government - Managed Fund Revenue - **Revenue Growth**: In June, national government - managed fund revenue increased by 20.8% year - on - year (previous value: - 8.2%), reaching a new monthly high since 2021. The cumulative year - on - year decline in the first half of the year narrowed to - 2.4%, approaching the annual budget target of 0.7%. The cumulative year - on - year decline in state - owned land use right transfer revenue narrowed to - 6.5% (previous value: - 11.9%) [9]. - **Revenue Progress**: In the first half of the year, government - managed fund revenue completed about 31% of the annual progress, slightly faster than the past two years. However, the real - estate recovery foundation is not solid, and the sustainability of the stabilization of land transfer revenue remains to be observed. Policy - side efforts such as urban renewal may become new directions [9]. 5. Government - Managed Fund Expenditure - **Expenditure Growth**: In June, national government - managed fund expenditure increased by 79.2% year - on - year, up 70 percentage points from the previous value. The cumulative year - on - year growth in the first half of the year was 30.0%, exceeding the annual budget target of 23.1%, and the annual budget completion rate was about 37%, significantly faster than the same period last year [10]. - **Reasons for Growth**: The significant increase in government - managed fund expenditure is due to the continuous marginal improvement of land transfer revenue and the accelerated issuance and use of special bonds. In addition, the 500 - billion - yuan central financial institution capital - injection special treasury bonds for supporting large - state - owned commercial banks were issued in four installments from late April to early June, and most of them may have formed expenditures in June, supporting the year - on - year growth of central - level government - managed fund expenditure to reach 600% [10].
