Banking weekly: steady growth, steady real estate policy continued, optimistic about the bank market at the beginning of the year

The steady growth policy continued last week. The interest rate was cut at the beginning of the week, and the LPR was reduced by 5bp in one year; According to media reports, the management supports and encourages mergers and acquisitions of real estate enterprises to improve the liquidity of real estate enterprises; On Friday, the central bank held the fourth quarter regular meeting of the monetary policy committee, which mentioned enhancing the “foresight, accuracy and autonomy” of monetary policy, giving full play to the dual functions of “aggregate and structure” and “adding” structural policy. We believe that the policy of stabilizing real estate may gradually take effect, and the follow-up policies of stabilizing growth and further easing can still be expected.

Since this year, the expected fluctuation has been more high-frequency, and the expected difference should not be captured. It is suggested to pay attention to policy and economic trends. At the beginning of the year, under the catalysis of the policy of wide credit and stable growth, especially the policy of stabilizing real estate, the market of the banking sector can be expected. With the sustained development of the steady growth policy, the economic data bottomed out and may improve marginally, which is also the driving force of the follow-up stock price.

In terms of individual stocks, under the long-term main line of structural reform, operation and management ability may be the core of stock selection. We recommend: Bank Of Ningbo Co.Ltd(002142) , China Merchants Bank Co.Ltd(600036) , Postal Savings Bank Of China Co.Ltd(601658) , and suggest paying attention to Bank Of Hangzhou Co.Ltd(600926) , Jiangsu Changshu Rural Commercial Bank Co.Ltd(601128) , Bank Of Jiangsu Co.Ltd(600919) , etc.
