Core Viewpoint - The Chinese banking industry has transitioned from a phase of scale expansion to a critical period of transformation, focusing on value reconstruction due to narrowing net interest margins and increasing market competition [2][6]. Group 1: Driving Factors of Banking Transformation - The transformation of commercial banks from a scale-oriented to a value-oriented model is driven by three main factors: economic transition, policy guidance, and technological innovation [8]. - The shift in economic focus from high-speed growth to high-quality development necessitates banks to allocate resources towards key areas such as technology, green finance, inclusive finance, and elderly care [8]. - Policies are continuously guiding banks to return to their core functions and promote high-quality development through differentiated regulation and performance assessments [8]. Group 2: Key Areas of Focus - The "Five Major Articles" (Technology Finance, Inclusive Finance, Green Finance, Elderly Finance, Digital Finance) serve as the core framework for high-quality development in the financial sector, aligning with national strategies and addressing homogeneous competition [5][6]. - Digital finance acts as the foundational support for the other four areas, facilitating their development while also being driven by their business needs [6]. Group 3: Implementation Pathways for Value Reconstruction - The "Five Major Articles" provide clear pathways for banks to transform their business models, including encouraging loans combined with external investments in technology finance and supporting carbon credit financing in green finance [7]. - Policies and value reconstruction in banking resonate with each other, becoming significant drivers for transformation [7]. Group 4: Collaborative Development of Digital Financial Ecosystem - The evolution of the digital financial ecosystem is essential for both the implementation of the "Five Major Articles" and the transformation of the banking sector [9]. - Key characteristics of this ecosystem include coordinated policy efforts, deep technological application, and the construction of a digital ecosystem that empowers various industries [9][10]. Group 5: Positioning of Different Types of Banks - Large state-owned commercial banks are expected to lead strategic developments, focusing on national priorities such as technological self-reliance and rural revitalization [21]. - Joint-stock commercial banks should adopt differentiated strategies to avoid competition with state-owned banks, focusing on niche markets [21]. - Regional city commercial banks should leverage their local advantages to integrate into regional economic development, providing tailored financial solutions [21]. Group 6: Future Directions for Banking - The banking industry is moving towards a competition based on value rather than scale, with a focus on creating long-term value through service to the real economy [22]. - Banks that can accurately grasp policy directions, deeply integrate into industrial ecosystems, and continuously innovate service models will thrive in the value reconstruction process [22].
