In 2021, the structural monetary policy made frequent efforts to encourage the credit funds of commercial banks to flow to the fields of inclusive small and micro enterprises, high-end manufacturing and green economy. The financing demand of small and micro enterprises remained strong, and the credit supply of regional banks with the advantages of small and micro financial business increased significantly.

At the deposit level, the overall deposit growth of listed banks slowed down in 2021, which is mainly due to the continuous restriction of high interest rate deposit solicitation by commercial banks since 2021, and the diversion of deposits caused by the awakening of residents' financial awareness, which makes it more difficult for commercial banks to solicit deposits. Some regional banks still maintain a high growth rate of deposit scale by virtue of their dense local network layout and meticulous and comprehensive services. For example, the growth rate of deposits in Bank Of Qingdao Co.Ltd(002948) , Qilu Bank Co.Ltd(601665) , Jiangsu Changshu Rural Commercial Bank Co.Ltd(601128) and Jiangsu Suzhou Rural Commercial Bank Co.Ltd(603323) in 2021 was 15.2% / 19.7% / 15.1% / 17.1% respectively.

Investment advice
As of March 4, 22 listed banks have disclosed their performance letters for 2021, of which 12 banks' scale net profit has increased by more than 20%, and their performance has exceeded market expectations. Looking forward to 2022, the aggregate and structural monetary policies will continue to increase, the credit environment will continue to improve, the growth rate of social finance will enter the upward range, and the amount of bank credit is imminent. Under the pressure of net interest margin, commercial banks may "make up the price by volume", and the beautiful performance growth is expected to continue. At present, the valuation of the banking sector is low and the allocation value is prominent. Therefore, we suggest to actively pay attention to the banking sector and urban commercial banks and rural commercial banks with high-quality regional economic environment and strong performance growth toughness.
The risk suggests that the macroeconomic growth rate is down; The implementation of the policy was less than expected.
