The year-on-year growth rates of Q1 Bank Of Nanjing Co.Ltd(601009) credit in 2021 and 2022 were 17.2% and 17.7% respectively, continuing the trend of high growth.

In terms of corporate loans, the company mainly invested in leasing, business services, manufacturing and infrastructure in 2021, with a total new scale of 66.827 billion yuan, accounting for 83.47% of corporate loans.

The estimated value shows that the rate of return on interest bearing assets in Q1 in 2022 is 3.71%, a decrease of 26bp compared with 2021. However, this situation is the pressure point faced by the whole banking industry, that is, under the background of the increasing contradiction between credit supply and demand at the beginning of the year + LPR quotation, the continuous reduction in December 2021 and January 2022 and the heavy use of refinancing tools, the loan interest rate is facing great downward pressure, which has a certain impact on the interest margin of the banking industry.

Of course, this has the influence of base effect. For example, due to the "small money shortage" in Q1 in 2021, the bond interest rate once rose in a pulse, which reduced the year-on-year growth rate of net other non interest income to - 51.3%. However, based on the average value of the two years, the average year-on-year growth rate of net other non interest income in Q1 and Q1 in 2021 was 41.3%, while the average growth rate in 2020 and 2021 was 10.4%, reflecting the "strong" of corporate bond investment ability.
