Positives of RRR Cut Are Likely to Be Offset by Rising Credit Quality Pressures as Economy Weakens
Following yesterday’s announcement of the Chinese central bank’s required reserve ratio, or RRR, cut of 50 basis points, effective July 5, we retain our fair value estimates for the Chinese banks we cover, as the positives of liquidity injections are largely offset by downward pressures on credit quality, in our view. Chinese banks under our coverage are trading at three-year lows on our valuation level of 0.4-0.8 times forward price/book, except for China Merchants Bank. This is attributable to...AGRICULTURAL BANK OF CHINA LIMITED is a China-based commercial bank. The Bank mainly operates through four business segments. The Corporate Finance segment is engaged in the deposit and loan business, small and micro business finance, settlement and cash management, trade financing and investment banking, among others. The Personal Finance segment is engaged in personal deposit and loan, credit card business and private banking business. The Treasury segment is engaged in money market business and investment portfolio management. The Asset Management segment is engaged in the provision of financial services, asset custody business, pension business and precious metal business.
