1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - As of September 19, 2025, the debt - resolution varieties and special treasury bonds of government bonds are nearly issued, with about 2.1 trillion yuan of remaining varieties to be issued, indicating fiscal room for more efforts. If there is an increase in government bond issuance in Q4, there are several possibilities, and different issuance methods have different requirements and limitations [2][32]. - The urgency of domestic interest - rate cuts at the end of the year is not strong. The 14D reverse repurchase is expected to support a smooth quarter - end transition, and the operation may be more flexible. The Fed's interest - rate cut opens up space for domestic monetary policy easing, but the domestic policy is still "domestically - oriented" [3][57]. - From late September to early October, in order to achieve the annual growth target of 5%, pro - growth policies may disrupt the bond market. For allocation portfolios, when the 10y treasury bond yield is around 1.8%, it gradually becomes cost - effective; trading portfolios need to be cautious [4][61]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Government Bond Classification, Progress, and Outlook 3.1.1 Types of Debt - Resolution Local Bonds - **Replacement Bonds**: General replacement bonds include replacement bonds (used from 2015 - 2019) and replacement - type refinancing special bonds (used from 2024 - 2026). The 2025 quota of replacement bonds is nearly issued. The replacement bonds in 2015 - 2018 issued 12.2 trillion yuan, and in 2019, 1579 billion yuan was issued. From 2024, the replacement - type refinancing special bonds are used, with 2 trillion yuan per year from 2024 - 2026, and as of September 19, 2025, 19747 billion yuan has been issued [14][19][20]. - **Special Refinancing Bonds**: Since 2020, they have become a new tool for local government debt resolution. The issuance can be divided into four stages, with a total issuance of about 31298 billion yuan. As of September 19, 2025, the 4000 - billion - yuan quota added in October 2024 has accumulated an issuance of 3981 billion yuan, and the existing quota is nearly issued [24][25][26]. - **Special Newly - Added Special Bonds**: Some newly - added special bonds not disclosing "one case and two books" are mainly used for resolving implicit debts. From 2024 - 2028, there is an 8000 - billion - yuan quota per year. As of September 19, 2025, 11506 billion yuan has been issued, and the excess may be used to repay government arrears to enterprises [27][31]. 3.1.2 Current Issuance Progress of Government Bond Varieties and Q4 Outlook - As of September 19, 2025, debt - resolution varieties and special treasury bonds are nearly issued, and the remaining varieties to be issued are about 2.1 trillion yuan. If there is an increase in government bond issuance in Q4, for treasury bonds, raising the quota requires approval from the National People's Congress, and there may be a rush - to - issue phenomenon in advance. Using the remaining quota does not require approval from the National People's Congress, but the current space is limited. For local bonds, the remaining quota and replacement bond quota have been allocated, but issuance requires fiscal approval [2][32][36]. 3.2 Monetary Policy 3.2.1 How to View the Tightening of Funds During the Tax Period and at the End of the Month? - In mid - September, due to the central bank's restrained liquidity injection, tax payments, and the freezing of funds for new share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange, the funds tightened briefly. Looking forward, funds may gradually ease in the last 7 days of the quarter, and the risk of fund fluctuations is relatively limited [44][47]. 3.2.2 How to Understand the Reform of the 14D Reverse Repurchase Bidding Method? - The 14D reverse repurchase bidding method is changed to multiple - rate bidding, which further strengthens the policy - rate status of the 7D reverse repurchase. The theoretical price is currently 1.55%. The 14D reverse repurchase in September is expected to support a smooth quarter - end transition, and subsequent operations may be more flexible [50][51][52]. 3.2.3 Will China Follow the Fed's Interest - Rate Cut? - The Fed's interest - rate cut opens up space for domestic monetary policy easing, but the domestic policy is still "domestically - oriented". The urgency of domestic interest - rate cuts at the end of the year is not strong, and the focus is on structural policy tools to boost broad credit [57][59][60]. 3.3 Bond Market Strategy - From late September to early October, pro - growth policies may disrupt the bond market. For allocation portfolios, when the 10y treasury bond yield is around 1.8%, it gradually becomes cost - effective; trading portfolios need to be cautious, and appropriate strategies include small - band micro - operations, short - credit coupon income, and waiting for better opportunities [61][65][66]. - Some varieties show cost - effectiveness and can be gradually entered during the adjustment process. According to the three - factor interest - rate bond comparison analysis framework, continue to pay attention to the 6y CDB bonds, 7y local bonds, and 10y CDB bonds. Funds with stable liabilities can pay attention to 20y CDB bonds and 30y treasury bonds [67]. 3.4 Interest - Rate Bond Market Review 3.4.1 Funding Situation - The central bank conducted net OMO injections, and the funding situation was balanced but tight [81]. 3.4.2 Primary Issuance - The net financing of treasury bonds and local bonds decreased, while the net financing of policy - financial bonds and inter - bank certificates of deposit increased [83]. 3.4.3 Benchmark Changes - The term spread of treasury bonds widened, and the term spread of CDB bonds narrowed. The short - end varieties of treasury bonds and CDB bonds performed better than the long - end varieties [78][88].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The banking industry is currently experiencing a "liability shortage" in Q1 2025 due to a large issuance of special refinancing bonds and a tightening of liquidity by the central bank, which has increased the burden on the banking system and limited the scale of market lending, leading to higher funding rates [1][5][6]. Key Points and Arguments - **Liability Structure**: The primary component of the banking liability structure is deposits, typically exceeding 70%, with fluctuations between 73% and 75%. Interbank liabilities account for over 10%, and interbank certificates of deposit have increased to about 4% to 5% [2]. - **Response to Deposit Challenges**: When facing difficulties in deposit absorption, banks often issue interbank certificates or borrow from the central bank. The issuance of interbank certificates has increased, reflecting a strong willingness to raise prices [3]. - **Impact of "Liability Shortage"**: The "liability shortage" in Q1 2025 is attributed to the significant issuance of special refinancing bonds and the central bank's liquidity tightening, which has limited the market's lending capacity and affected leverage enthusiasm [5]. - **Future Outlook on Bank Burden**: It is expected that banks will not face significant burden pressures in the future, as there are no new plans for special refinancing bonds and the central bank's liquidity stance has stabilized [6]. - **Deposit Migration Phenomenon**: The phenomenon of deposit migration is limited in scale and primarily reflects changes in the liability structure rather than causing significant funding gaps. The impact on equity markets and other financial products is positive but not decisive [7][8]. - **Current Liability Costs**: The overall liability cost for large banks is approximately 1.65%, with deposit costs between 1.45% and 1.5%. The 10-year government bond yield has risen to around 1.8%, providing better space for bank allocations [9]. - **Investment Contributions**: In 2025, banks have relied on selling old bonds from OCI and AC accounts to compensate for reduced trading profits, which has become a crucial method for maintaining revenue contributions [10]. - **Future Selling Needs**: There is an ongoing need for banks to realize gains from old bonds in the third and fourth quarters, especially as the low-interest-rate environment continues to pose challenges [11]. - **Expansion and Risks**: The overall expansion of bank balance sheets is positive but may slow down. Some banks under operational pressure may consider shrinking their balance sheets [12]. - **OCI Account Trends**: The proportion of OCI accounts in the banking system has gradually increased, allowing banks greater flexibility in trading without directly impacting current profits [13]. - **Performance of Different Bank Types**: Large commercial banks, as primary dealers, play a crucial role in policy execution and market stabilization, making their financial investment actions significant for analysis [14]. Additional Important Insights - The current market conditions and uncertainties may affect banks' allocation capabilities, and the flexibility of banks compared to non-bank institutions allows for better management of valuation fluctuations [9]. - The migration of deposits is influenced by various factors, including customer demographics and market conditions, with different groups showing varying levels of willingness to shift funds [8].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The provided content does not mention the report industry investment rating, so this part is skipped. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The front - loaded issuance of special refinancing bonds this year was significant. Although the issuance of new special bonds has accelerated, it is not led by project - based bonds. Instead, the issuance progress of debt - resolution bonds leads that of project - based bonds [1]. - Combining the current progress and historical rules, September and October may be the main nodes for the issuance of the remaining new special bonds, and the remaining issuance space is likely to be mainly for project - based bonds [1]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Debt - resolution Bonds' Issuance Progress Still Leads that of Project - based Bonds - As of August this year, local government bonds totaling 7.7 trillion yuan were issued, including 1.8 trillion yuan of general bonds (1.2 trillion yuan of refinancing general bonds + 0.6 trillion yuan of new general bonds) and 5.9 trillion yuan of special bonds (2.6 trillion yuan of refinancing special bonds + 3.3 trillion yuan of new special bonds). The issuance progress of both new general bonds and new special bonds was 75% [5][6]. - The issuance progress of special refinancing bonds reached 97%, almost completed, with only about 0.1 trillion yuan of issuance space remaining. Special new special bonds showed "over - issuance", possibly related to using some new special bonds to pay off enterprise arrears [8][9][10]. - By the end of August, only 8 regions had not completed the issuance of special refinancing bond quotas, and among the 12 key debt - resolution regions, only Guizhou and Liaoning had not used up their debt - resolution quotas [13]. 3.2 Special Bond Funds Mainly Flow into Three Major Areas - From January to August this year, new special bonds for project returns mainly flowed into three major areas: about 28% went to municipal and industrial park infrastructure, about 18% to transportation infrastructure, and about 14% to land reserves. These three areas accounted for a total of 60%. The top five categories accounted for 83% of the total [16]. - Compared with last year, the proportion of funds flowing into land reserves and affordable housing projects increased. The scale of land reserve special bonds exceeded 30 billion yuan this year, and the proportion of funds flowing into affordable housing projects exceeded that of social undertakings, mainly concentrated in shantytown renovation [17]. 3.3 September and October May Be the Main Nodes for the Issuance of the Remaining New Special Bonds - Although new special bonds reached a new monthly high in July, it was the special new special bonds related to debt resolution that increased in scale, while the monthly issuance scale of project - based ordinary new special bonds was relatively uniform [19]. - The issuance progress of special refinancing bonds and special new special bonds accelerated alternately. The acceleration of special new special bonds was not limited to key debt - resolution regions. Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen issued special new special bonds for the first time this year [20][24]. - The proportion of ordinary new special bonds in key regions was only 33.6% on average, while that in non - key regions reached 74.9%, indicating that debt resolution in key regions squeezed project - based bonds. There is still 1.1 trillion yuan of issuance space for new special bonds, and based on the plans of 21 regions, the issuance scale in September may exceed 300 billion yuan. Considering historical rules, September and October may be the main nodes for the issuance of the remaining new special bonds [26].
