In the future, we are still optimistic about the valuation and repair of the banking sector, mainly because China's economy is expected to maintain expansion, the banking sector remains profitable and the asset quality is stable; At the same time, the reform of the financial industry has been deepened and the quality of bank operation has been steadily improved; As well as the high dividend yield of banks, it still has a strong attraction to partial conservatism and value investors.
