President’s speech

2021 is the historical intersection of “two centenaries”. With the development vision of “building a first-class commercial bank” and guided by the 12 character business policy of “increasing scale, adjusting structure, controlling risks and creating benefits”, our business performance has been significantly improved, creating a new pattern of coordinated development of five business blocks. At the end of 2021, the group’s total asset balance was 2286.7 billion yuan, an increase of 11.6% over the beginning of the year. The growth of deposits and loans in the second half of the year obviously caught up with the level in the first half of the year; The annual operating revenue was 54.58 billion yuan, an increase of 2.69 billion yuan in the second half of the year compared with the first half of the year, an increase of 14.3% and the growth rate ranked among the top in the stock industry. The development trend of the whole bank is stable and good, and strides forward on the main track of the joint-stock bank.

This year, we adhered to both “expanding the area of cultivated land” and “improving the yield of grain per mu”, and took the road of connotative development. We insist on serving customer needs as the center, “cutting watermelon, picking peaches and picking sesame”, and implement the customer strategy of “active participation of large customers, mutual support of medium-sized customers, and accumulation of sand for small enterprises and retail customers”. We implement the new business philosophy of “the most economical capital and the most considerable benefits”, the asset scale of “controllable risk and considerable income”, the liability scale of “real, stable and low cost”, and the transaction, sales and circulation scale of “zero consumption and low consumption of capital”. In 2021, the interest payment rate of our bank decreased by 15bps compared with the previous year, the international settlement volume doubled year-on-year, exceeded US $200 billion, the sales of financial assets exceeded 150 billion yuan, and the non interest income increased by 18%. This year, we gathered development consensus and worked hard to create a new pattern of coordinated development of five business sectors. The large retail sector is the “ballast” of our high-quality development and the first sector in front. We adhere to small amount dispersion and Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) simultaneous development; By the end of 2021, the proportion of Pratt & Whitney small and micro loans continued to maintain the leading position in the stock bank. The large company sector is the “backbone” of the bank to increase revenue and profit. It is the main battlefield to expand the basic customer base. We optimize and improve the platform service advantage and service industry chain
