Investment suggestions:

At the macro level this week, the manufacturing PMI data reflected the downward pressure on the macro economy, while the bankers’ questionnaire data in the first quarter showed a double rise in credit approval and demand index month on month. Combined with the regular meeting of the goods administration, it is required to ensure the reasonable and stable growth of the total amount of credit and further maintain market expectations. It is expected that the total amount of credit in the first quarter will be supported, and the banking industry will continue to supplement the price by volume. Recently, listed banks have successively disclosed their annual reports, and the performance expectations have been fulfilled. From the annual report, the retail business and credit cost form a stronger support for the performance. At present, the performance and dividend yield of the banking sector are stable and high, and the static Pb of 0.62x has a high cost performance. We maintain the “recommended” rating of the industry, 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.

Risk tips:

1) the downward pressure on the economy continues to increase, and the credit cost has increased significantly;

2) business differentiation of small and medium-sized banks, major business risks of individual banks, etc
