Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not include information about the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The Q3 monetary policy report affirms the economic achievements in the first three quarters but emphasizes the need to "strengthen and consolidate" the domestic economy due to potential challenges such as a slowdown in economic growth momentum and the complexity of the overseas environment [1][6]. - Monetary policy maintains the general tone of "moderate easing," with the focus potentially shifting towards "stabilizing growth." However, there is still uncertainty regarding the full opening of broad - money space due to factors like the cross - cycle perspective and bank net interest margin pressure [1][10][11]. - There may be two expected differences in the bond market. One is related to the impact of changes in the social financing scale structure on bond supply and demand, and the other is about the relationship between guiding the decline of real - economy financing costs and bond market interest rates [2][16]. Summary by Directory 1. "Moderate Easing" Re - understood 1.1 Economic Stability and Policy Reinforcement - The Q3 report acknowledges the economic achievements in the first three quarters, with the removal of the statement about "striving to achieve the annual economic and social development goals," indicating a reduced sense of urgency. However, it points out that the domestic economy needs "strengthening and consolidation" due to a slowdown in growth momentum and the complexity of the overseas environment [6]. - The report adds "cross - cycle adjustment" to be equally important as "counter - cycle adjustment," aiming to balance short - term growth and long - term goals [7]. 1.2 The "Next Step" of Monetary Policy - Monetary policy continues the general tone of "moderate easing," with the description changing from "implementing in detail" in Q2 to "implementing well" in Q3, which may affirm the effectiveness of the monetary policy implementation since the first half of the year [10]. - The constraints on preventing capital idling have weakened marginally, and the pressure to stabilize the exchange rate has been significantly relieved. The focus of monetary policy may gradually shift to "stabilizing growth," but there is still uncertainty about the full opening of broad - money space [10][11]. - The exchange rate statement in the Q3 report has changed, and the mention of preventing capital idling has been removed, suggesting a potential shift in policy focus towards stabilizing growth while still maintaining some attention on the balance between supporting the real economy and the health of the banking system [11]. - From the perspective of macro - narrative logic and bank interest margins, the space for broad - money needs further expansion. Currently, it is necessary to "keep social financing conditions relatively loose" and give full play to the dual functions of monetary policy tools in terms of quantity and structure [11][12]. 2. Possible Expected Differences in the Bond Market - Regarding the capital side, although there is uncertainty in the use of aggregate tools, there is no need to worry too much as long as liquidity is kept reasonably abundant. Since the second quarter of this year, the capital side has been in a relatively stable and balanced state, and this trend is expected to continue [2][15]. - There are two possible expected differences in the bond market: - First, the current high level of the domestic social financing scale stock and the changing internal structure seem to be beneficial to bond assets in the short term. However, in the long run, there are expected differences. The decline in credit investment may affect the bank's credit creation ability and the demand for bond allocation, while the bond supply may maintain a certain expansion rhythm [2][16][17]. - Second, guiding the decline of real - economy financing costs does not directly lead to a decline in bond market interest rates. The key to guiding the decline of real - economy financing costs lies in structural tools, and the core of the requirement not to issue loans with after - tax interest rates lower than the same - term treasury bond yields is to enhance the linkage between the asset and liability sides of banks and support banks in stabilizing their net interest margins [18][19].

Economic Analysis - The report highlights a renewed focus on "expanding domestic demand," marking the first increase in emphasis for the year, indicating a shift from previous reports that concentrated on supply-side issues[2] - It notes that the overall economic performance is expected to improve, with a reduction in the difficulty of achieving annual economic targets due to easing US-China relations and signs of price stabilization[1] - The report identifies a significant change in policy direction, emphasizing the need for a dual-pillar regulatory framework to maintain financial market stability and prevent moral hazards[3] Policy Direction - The report suggests a high probability of a reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut to alleviate bank liquidity constraints, with a focus on maintaining relatively loose social financing conditions[3] - It emphasizes the importance of consumer finance, proposing measures to restore personal credit limits and reduce consumer finance interest rates, with current average loan rates dropping below 24%[14] - The adjustment in the approach to RMB internationalization indicates a shift from "cautious advancement" to "promotion," suggesting an increase in available RMB assets for foreign investors[15] Market Signals - The report indicates that the central bank expects a downward trend in social financing and M2 growth rates, suggesting that demand-driven interest rates are more likely to decrease than increase[20] - It highlights the limited upward space for interest rates, as the central bank aims to maintain reasonable interest rate relationships amidst a backdrop of low credit demand and stable deposit needs[22] - The overall expectation of a "double reduction" in monetary policy remains, with potential policy surprises being a trigger for market movements towards the end of the year[25]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The central bank's Q3 2025 monetary policy implementation report emphasizes using interest rates as an anchor and downplaying aggregate requirements, indicating that interest rate regulation will play an increasingly important role in monetary policy [1][9]. - The credit structure will be further optimized, focusing on four aspects to release consumption potential, including "five major articles" and key economic areas, science and innovation and carbon - reduction fields, inclusive small and micro enterprises, and the silver - haired economy and personal credit repair [3][12]. - Broad - spectrum interest rates are still in a downward cycle, but the decline may converge. The bond market will continue to oscillate and recover, and the 10 - year Treasury bond rate (old active bond) is expected to repair to 1.6% - 1.65% by the end of the year [4][5][16]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Interest Rate and Aggregate Policy - The central bank continues to downplay aggregate requirements in the Q3 2025 monetary policy report. As China's economic transformation progresses, a slowdown in financial aggregate growth is reasonable and in line with regulatory acceptance. The traditional monetary system may not fully reflect the real situation, so the monetary policy regulation framework should be transformed to focus more on price - based regulation [1][9]. - The central bank emphasizes the importance of maintaining a reasonable interest rate ratio relationship. Although there were deviations in various interest rate ratios last year, they have improved significantly this year. Regulatory measures such as rectifying manual interest supplements, standardizing deposit pricing, and constraining loan interest rates have played important roles. Bank deposit costs decreased by 25.5BP in the first half of this year, and the term spread has returned to normal [2][10]. 2. Credit Structure Optimization - Credit structure optimization will focus on four aspects: developing science and technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance to support key national strategies and weak economic links; optimizing and using monetary policy tools for science and innovation and carbon - reduction, and promoting financial institutions' participation in the carbon market; guiding the reasonable growth of inclusive small and micro loans and private economy loans to support county - level economic development; and building a multi - level pension finance system, supporting the silver - haired economy, and implementing policies to support personal credit repair to release consumption potential [3][12]. 3. Interest Rate Trend - In Q3, the weighted average RMB loan interest rate decreased by 5bp to 3.24%, with general loan rates down 2bp to 3.67%, corporate loan rates down 8bp to 3.14%, personal housing loan rates unchanged at 3.06%, and bill rates down 13bp to 1.14%. The central bank aims to drive down the comprehensive social financing cost and keep social financing conditions relatively loose. Broad - spectrum interest rates are expected to continue to decline, but the decline may converge [4][14]. 4. Bond Market Outlook - The monetary policy implementation report emphasizes using interest rates as an anchor and downplaying aggregate requirements. Bond interest rates should move in tandem with broad - spectrum interest rates. With the decline in aggregate demand, the asset supply rhythm may slow down, increasing the pressure of asset shortage. The bond market will continue to oscillate and recover, and interest rates are expected to decline more smoothly in the second half of Q4. The 10 - year Treasury bond rate (old active bond) is expected to repair to 1.6% - 1.65% by the end of the year [5][16]. 5. Analysis of the Real Economy - In the first three quarters of this year, China's economy continued its steady - progress development trend, with GDP growing by 5.2% year - on - year. Positive factors include the continuous improvement of the national economic cycle, the accelerated development of new drivers, good production and supply momentum, expanding total demand, and more active macro - policies. However, the external environment is more complex and severe, and there are still risks such as insufficient domestic effective demand [18][19][20]. 6.
