Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes that the decline in fixed asset investment (FAI) growth reflects economic structural adjustments, and does not expect a rebound through aggressive policy measures.

Group 2: Factors Influencing Investment Decline - The decline in FAI growth is attributed to a combination of factors, including the persistent negative growth in real estate investment and the impact of debt resolution policies that have constrained infrastructure investment funding [7]. - Manufacturing investment has also seen a significant drop, with year-to-date growth rates declining compared to the previous year, reflecting cautious investment activities due to insufficient order demand [8]. Group 3: Future Investment Outlook - Experts predict a potential rebound in investment growth in 2026, supported by policy measures and a projected FAI growth of 2.8% in the first quarter [10]. - The anticipated recovery is based on several factors, including the support from new policy financial tools, a reduction in project funding pressure, and historical trends indicating a high probability of investment growth at the beginning of the year [10]. - The central economic work conference highlights the need for significant public investment to stimulate demand and support consumption, emphasizing the importance of both social and infrastructure investments [11].

11月经济呈现出 "工业稳、投资与消费缓" 的格局。鉴于政策效果将在明年一季度更为充分显现，当前消费与投资仍面临阶段性逆风，"谁先企 稳"对明年经济"开门红"具有关键的信号意义。对此，我们认为可以从如下角度考虑： 投资端："乌云中的银线"。虽然房地产下行压力仍在释放，但基建与制造业已不时释放积极信号：11月制造业投资增速止跌回升，初步显现"拐 点"；建筑业PMI表现偏强，叠加新增专项债加速发力项目建设，表明"稳投资"的政策储备与执行已在跟进。 消费端：增速放缓背后的复杂局面。除高基数效应外，前期"国补"政策的火热、"双十一"促销前置，均在一定程度上透支了部分消费力，对短期 消费增速形成压制。长远来看，消费复苏仍需依赖消费场景实质性拓展以及居民收入预期改善。 尤其在中央经济工作会议"推动投资止跌回稳"的指引下，"稳投资"政策意图明确。投资有望先于消费实现企稳，成为支撑明年一季度"开门红"的 主要亮点。后续关键仍在于政策"愿望清单"能否如期兑现、向实物工作量有效转化。 工业：同环比背离释放了哪些信号？与改善幅度明显强于季节性的环比增速不同，11月工业增加值同比增速却小幅放缓至4.8%（前值4.9%），两 者的背离 ...
