[Financial support for real estate, favorable policies resonate]
In the news, the relevant person in charge of the State Financial Supervision Bureau said that it will continue to provide personal housing loan financial services. We will support local city governments and housing construction departments to further optimize individual housing loan policies such as down payment ratio and loan interest rate, and guide and urge banks to better serve the financing needs of the broad masses of people for rigid and improved housing.
In addition, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued a voice on January 26, 2024, fully giving urban real estate control autonomy, and cities can adjust their real estate policies according to local conditions. In view of the current financing problems of some real estate projects, all localities should focus on projects, study and put forward a list of real estate projects that can be given financing support, coordinate the issuance of loans by financial institutions within their respective administrative regions, and accurately and effectively support reasonable financing needs. It is understood that before the end of this month, the first batch of projects can win loans after landing.
Huatai Securities believes that the press conference makes it clear that the financial industry is duty-bound to support real estate vigorously, and optimize policies such as down payment ratio and loan interest rate due to the city’s policy. At present, the mortgage interest rate has gone through several rounds of LPR adjustment, and the lower limit of the point has been gradually relaxed until a dynamic breakthrough. Many places have lowered or cancelled the lower limit of the interest rate due to the city’s policy. RealData shows that the national first home interest rate has dropped to 3.84% in January 2004, down 1.59pct from the high point in October 2001. In September 2003, the stock mortgage interest rate was lowered to further reduce the burden on residents. Many cities have implemented the policy of "recognizing houses but not loans" and optimized the criteria for recognizing the first suite, and the policy adjustment has gradually spread from low-energy cities to high-energy cities. There is still room for the relaxation of the future purchase restriction policy in first-tier cities.

[Cancel the restrictions on the proportion of foreign investment, and banks will welcome benefits again]
In the news, on January 25, 2024, the relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Financial Supervision said that more than 50 opening-up measures have been introduced recently. First, the restriction on the proportion of foreign shares will be abolished. Now, foreign capital can hold 100% of the shares of bank insurance institutions and achieve complete control. Second, the negative list of foreign investment access, and the relevant restrictive measures on the financial industry have been completely cleaned up. For example, the business scope of foreign banks and insurance institutions is completely consistent with that of Chinese capital, realizing national treatment.
Huatai Securities believes that the press conference of the State Council Office made a heavy noise, and the policies at both ends of real estate supply and demand were once again overweight, emphasizing the resolution of risks of small and medium-sized banks and relaxing the proportion of foreign ownership. The combination of the central bank’s policy of lowering the RRR at the beginning of the year will help improve the liquidity environment and accumulate momentum for economic recovery. The policy is expected to be good+the valuation position is double low, and we should seize the opportunity of bank allocation. At present, the valuation of PB(lf) in the banking sector is 0.54 times, which is 3.66% quantile since 2010, which is at a low level. Bank positions of 23Q4 decreased by 0.6pct from the previous month to 1.91%, a record low.
