7、019.我们预计中国银行业总贷款和总资产余额的同比增速 2019 年分别为 13.3%和 9.9%。由于我们预测中国流动性环境将中性偏松，我们预计 2019 年银行的净息差将维持稳定，达2.16%左右。我们预计银行业净手续费收入在 2019 年温和增长。在预期资产质量维持稳定的背景下，银行拨备计提压力预计不会提升。考虑到以上所有因素，我们预计银行业我们预计银行业2018年和年和 2019 年净利润同比增速分别为年净利润同比增速分别为 6.0%和和 6.2%。截至 2018 年 12 月 31 日，我们覆盖的中资银行 2019 年的加权平均市盈率与市净率分别为 5.2 倍与 0.7 倍。我们认为
8、当前估值仍然偏低。2019 年，我们预计以下因素将为银行估值提供支撑：1）我们预计中国经济平稳增长，经济结构进一步优化；2）在政府降杠杆及严监管的背景下，我们认为中国经济风险进一步下降；3）严金融监管对银行估值的负面影响预计减弱；4）我们预计中国人民银行的降准将增强银行的盈利能力；5）我们预计中国银行业净利润增速将维持平稳；6）我们预计中国银行业资产质量将保持稳定。因此，我们维持中国银行业我们维持中国银行业 2019 年“跑赢大市”投资评级。年“跑赢大市”投资评级。Rating:Outperform Maintained 评级：跑赢大市跑赢大市(维持)Sector Performance 行业

23、omy facing declining pressure disturbed by negative factors such as the China-US trade war,the U.S.Federal Reserves(the Fed”)interest rate hikes,insufficient vitality of private investment,the slowdown in driving force of economic growth,etc.,the long-term positive prospects of Chinas economy are ex
24、pected to remain.In 2019,we expect the following factors to still boost the Chinese economy to grow steadily:1)Internationally,the global economy is projected to continue to recover and maintain relatively fast growth;2)Chinas economy still has tremendous development potential,and there is huge deve
25、lopment space within urbanization,the service sector,high-end manufacturing and consumption upgrade;3)thanks to supply-side structural reform and market mechanisms,domestic demand driving the economy up plays a more important role.The development of emerging industries is booming,the transformation
26、and upgrading of traditional industries are in good shape,and Chinas economic structure continues to be optimized;and 4)the macro-leverage ratio tends to be stable;the prevention and control of financial risk has shown effectiveness,and financial support for the real economy is relatively consolidat
27、ed.Therefore,we still project Chinas economy to continue to grow at a stable pace in 2019,and we expect YoY growth of Chinese GDP for 2019 to slow down to 6.2%.Monetary and financial environment was generally prudent and neutral in 2018.In 2018,the PBOCs monetary policies have been prudent and neutr
28、al.The PBOC adjusted liquidity conditions primarily through open market operations,new monetary instruments and the cut in RRRs.Monetary and financial environment was neutral on the whole.Firstly,in 2018 the PBOC withdrew a net amount of RMB 640.0 bn.Secondly,in 2018 the PBOC extended SLF of RMB 438
29、.7 bn.Thirdly,in 2018 the PBOC carried out MLF of RMB 5.0 tn.As at the end of 2018,the balance of MLF reached RMB 4.9 tn,up 9.1%YoY.Fourthly,in 2018 the PBOC carried out PSL of RMB 692.0 bn.As at the end of December 2018,the balance of PSL achieved RMB 3.4 tn,up 25.7%YTD.In 2018 new RMB loans and ne

39、hat the PBOC will maintain prudent and neutral monetary policies and Chinas liquidity conditions will be neutral and slightly loose in 2019.In the China Monetary Policy Report,The Third Quarter 2018,the PBOC expressed its focus on the three tasks of serving the real economy,preventing and controllin
40、g financial risks and deepening financial reforms,while making prudent neutral monetary policies to maintain liquidity at a reasonably adequate level.In the Central Working Conference for 2019,the government will put forward prudent monetary policies which should not be too loose or too tight to sta
41、y adequate,maintaining reasonably abundant liquidity and resolving problems of financing difficulties and high financing prices of small and micro enterprises and private enterprises.In order to stabilize economic growth,support the financing of small and micro enterprises and private enterprises,co

43、ose in 2019.The establishment of wealth management subsidiaries is projected to benefit the development of the banks in the long run.On 2 December 2018,the Administrative Measures for Wealth Management Subsidiaries of Commercial Banks(Administrative Measures)was issued by the CBIRC.The main points o
44、f the Administrative Measures include:1)allowing subsidiaries to invest in stocks directly;2)for non-standard debt investment,only requests that do not to exceed net asset of 35%at any time are allowed;3)allowing issuance of graded products;4)no sales starting point for wealth management products is
45、sued by subsidiaries;5)wealth management products of subsidiaries can be sold on commission by banking financial institutions as well as by other institutions authorized by the CBIRC to sell on commission;6)individual investors are not required to sign face to face when buying wealth management prod
46、ucts of subsidiaries for the first time;and 7)partner institutions of private equity products and investment advisers of publicly offered products may be licensed financial corporations as well as qualified private equity fund managers.As of mid-December 2018,the big five banks,major joint-stock ban
47、ks and major city commercial banks had announced their plans to establish wealth management subsidiaries.According to regulatory requirements,the overall approval process of the banks wealth management subsidiaries may take about 1 year.Therefore,the banks wealth management subsidiaries are expected
48、 to open as early as the second half of 2019.The establishment of wealth management subsidiaries is projected to strengthen the risk isolation of bank wealth management business and promote the net worth transformation of wealth management business,which will benefit the development of the banks in
49、the long run and is expected to also ease the shrinking trend of the wealth management sector.However,as the Administrative Measures requires that the registered capital of subsidiaries should not be less than RMB 1 bn and meanwhile it has higher requirements on investment and research capabilities,
50、human resources and information disclosure for subsidiaries,it is difficult to set up wealth management subsidiaries for small banks.Therefore,share of the wealth management sector is projected to possibly be concentrated to medium and large banks.We expect the negative impacts from the Guidance on
