At the industry level, the regulatory data of the CBRC in the fourth quarter was released, and the trend was consistent with the disclosed performance express data, which further strengthened the expectation of the certainty of the performance of the banking sector, but the risks were differentiated among different banks.

We maintain the “recommended” rating of the sector and continue to recommend at the individual stock level: China Merchants, Ping An, Societe Generale, Ningbo, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Jiangsu Changshu Rural Commercial Bank Co.Ltd(601128) etc.
