1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In April 2025, new RMB loans were 28 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 45 billion yuan, and the credit balance growth rate dropped from 7.4% to 7.2%. New social financing scale was 1.16 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 1.22 trillion yuan, and the social financing stock growth rate rose from 8.4% to 8.7%. The year - on - year growth rate of M2 recovered from 7% to 8%, and the growth rate of M1 under the new caliber slightly decreased from 1.6% to 1.5%. There was an obvious overdraft effect due to the end - of - quarter credit rush, and the enterprise sector was a significant drag on credit growth. However, due to the central bank's "pre - rate cut", the market reaction was dull after the data release. With the support of the pre - issued government bonds, the social financing growth rate continued to rise. In terms of deposits, M1 was not weak, and the return of non - bank deposits supported the significant recovery of the M2 growth rate this month [1][10]. 3. Summary by Directory Non - bank Funds Flow Back to Banks, M2 Growth Rate Recovers - In the second quarter, when the financing pricing is relatively low, wealth management and other broad - based funds increase their allocation of deposits, driving the significant recovery of the M2 growth rate. In April, M2 decreased by 88.15 billion yuan, 2.7 trillion yuan less than the same period last year, driving the M2 growth rate up by nearly 1 percentage point. Non - bank time deposits were the main support, with a year - on - year increase of 1.9 trillion yuan [1][13]. - In April, it was a big month for the growth of wealth management scale. When the capital constraints were relaxed in the second quarter, non - bank institutions had abundant funds and the financing pricing was relatively low. Wealth management might choose to increase the allocation of certificates of deposit and time deposits [16]. - In the long run, official media continued to emphasize downplaying the focus on the growth rate of aggregate targets such as M2. The relationship between the money supply and economic growth is weakening, and the relationship between money and prices is also affected by multiple factors [2][21]. Credit: The Household Sector is Mediocre, and the Enterprise Sector is Obviously Overdrafted - In April, household short - term loans decreased by 40.19 billion yuan, 5.01 billion yuan more than the same period last year. The real estate transactions in April were weak, and the year - on - year growth rate of the commercial housing transaction area in 30 large and medium - sized cities weakened significantly compared with the previous month. New household medium - and long - term loans decreased by 12.31 billion yuan, close to the level of the same period last year and still in the negative range [3][22]. - After the end - of - quarter rush, the performance of enterprise medium - and long - term loans in April weakened significantly. New enterprise medium - and long - term loans in April were 25 billion yuan, 16 billion yuan less than the same period last year. The bill department still had a large - scale impulse, with new bill financing of 83.41 billion yuan in the month, which was seasonally high. Enterprise short - term loans were significantly weak, decreasing by 48 billion yuan in the month, 7 billion yuan less than the same period last year [3][26][27]. Social Financing: Government Bonds Remain the Main Support - The pre - issued government bonds were still the largest supporting item for social financing. In April, government bond issuance was fast, with new issuance of 97.62 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 1.07 trillion yuan, which was an important sub - item supporting the social financing growth rate. In May, the net financing of government bonds may be around 1.67 trillion yuan, still showing a significant year - on - year increase [4][35]. - The issuance of enterprise bonds rebounded, and off - balance - sheet bills were converted into on - balance - sheet ones. In April, the willingness to issue enterprise bonds rebounded, with new issuance of 23.4 billion yuan, at a seasonal level. Due to the tariff disturbance in April, the central level of bond yields declined, and the enterprise issuance willingness might have rebounded. Unaccepted bills decreased by 27.93 billion yuan in April, at a seasonal low level, and off - balance - sheet bills accelerated the conversion into on - balance - sheet ones at the beginning of the quarter [4][37]. Deposits: M1 is Seasonally Low, Non - bank Deposits Increase Significantly - The month - on - month change of M1 was close to that of the same period last year, at a seasonal low. April was a small month for deposits. Under the new caliber, M1 decreased by 4.3 trillion yuan in the month, 13.03 billion yuan more than the same period in 2024, generally at a seasonally low level. The year - on - year reading of M1 decreased slightly from 1.6% to 1.5% [5][41]. - Among the M2 sub - items, inter - bank deposits increased significantly, and household and enterprise deposits increased slightly year - on - year on a low base. In April, inter - bank deposits increased significantly by 1.5 trillion yuan, 1.9 trillion yuan more than the same period in 2024. After the central level of capital prices declined, the attractiveness of non - bank time deposits might have increased. Enterprise deposits decreased 54.28 billion yuan less year - on - year, and household deposits increased 46 billion yuan year - on - year [5][43].

温彬进一步谈到，一方面，降准释放更充足的长期流动性，在后续政府债券供给高峰时可熨平资金面波 动，强化货币与财政政策的协同效应，稳定社融增长；另一方面，降准有助于优化银行负债结构、节约 负债成本，在一定程度上缓解净息差收窄压力，为降低实体经济融资成本创造空间。此外，为银行体系 提供长期低成本资金，稳定信用扩张，提升对消费、外贸、科技创新、小微民企等特定领域和薄弱环节 的支持力度，增强服务实体经济的动力和可持续性。 中信证券首席经济学家明明分析认为，尽管4月份流动性相对宽松，但5月份政府债供给压力增大，超长 期特别国债、商业银行注资特别国债均有落地，或贡献一定流动性缺口，央行选择在5月份降准，一方 面能进一步降低商业银行负债成本，另一方面也是为了配合财政端发力。 5月15日，降准正式落地。 中国人民银行（以下简称"央行"）5月7日发布公告宣布，自2025年5月15日起，下调金融机构存款准备 金率0.5个百分点（不含已执行5%存款准备金率的金融机构），下调汽车金融公司和金融租赁公司存款 准备金率5个百分点。 此次下调存款准备金率0.5个百分点，向金融市场提供长期流动性约1万亿元。据央行行长潘功胜在5月7 日国新办新 ...

When these three factors are in the same direction, it is more likely to form a trend of appreciation [194] - The offshore RMB market's liquidity is supported by cross - border trade settlement for long - term growth and central bank support and market financing for short - term stability [87] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Foreign Exchange Reform - China's foreign exchange reform includes the improvement of the mid - price mechanism in 2015, the introduction of the counter - cyclical factor in 2017, the dynamic adjustment of cross - border financing macro - prudential parameters in 2019, and the strengthening of the foreign exchange risk reserve system in 2022 [14] - The mid - price mechanism combines the previous day's closing price and the change of a basket of currencies, which makes the mid - price close to the market and takes into account external stability [21] - The counter - cyclical factor guides market rational expectations, weakens the self - reinforcement mechanism of pro - cyclical behavior, and enhances the resilience and stability of the exchange rate mechanism [24] - Since the launch of the LPR reform in August 2019, the loan quotation mechanism has become more market - oriented, breaking the "implicit lower limit" of loan interest rates [27] - The adjustment of cross - border financing macro - prudential parameters aims to increase cross - border financing quotas, relieve RMB depreciation pressure, and optimize the asset - liability structure of domestic entities [32] 3.2 Domestic RMB Foreign Exchange Market - The RMB foreign exchange market is divided into the bank - to - customer market and the inter - bank market.
