Weekly view of the banking industry: the performance of the sector is expected to grow steadily

Industry core view:

Under the steady growth policy, we expect that the overall credit supply of the industry will be ahead in 2022, and the growth rate of total assets will be mainly stable.

It is suggested to pay attention to the banks whose proportion of intermediate business income continues to increase and the banks whose fundamentals continue to improve.
