Securities Daily: Vigorously boosting consumption is the focus of macro-policy at present. The the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting held on December 9 pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously boost consumption, improve investment efficiency and expand domestic demand in all directions. At present, China is in the stage of rapid growth of service consumption. In the future, all parties should continuously optimize and expand service supply, better stimulate the endogenous kinetic energy of service consumption, and provide strong support for expanding domestic demand and stimulating the economy. Promoting consumption is the main starting point for expanding domestic demand, and boosting consumption is the focus of macroeconomic policy. We firmly believe that with the continuous efforts of various policy initiatives, consumer confidence will continue to increase and consumption potential will continue to be released.Newly issued loans exceeding one trillion yuan to support the financing coordination mechanism for small and micro enterprises have achieved results. On the 10th, I learned from the State Financial Supervision and Administration that since the launch of the financing coordination mechanism for small and micro enterprises in October this year, various localities and banks have responded quickly and achieved initial results. According to the data from the General Administration of Financial Supervision, by the end of November, all localities had visited 12.072 million small and micro business entities based on the working mechanism, of which 1.942 million were included in the "declaration list" and 1.303 million were included in the "recommendation list". Banks granted 2.2 trillion yuan of new credit and 1.2 trillion yuan of new loans to "recommended list" business entities.Foreign media: Romania and Bulgaria have officially joined the Schengen area since 2025.

Aiming at the low-interest inclusive credit intermediary packaging, I recently visited a number of loan intermediaries and found that these companies are very similar in business layout and office space. The bank logo on the wall is standard, and the daily performance information of loan managers is scrolled on the electronic screen hanging at the entrance. Observing the screen, it is not difficult to find that the Pratt & Whitney mortgage loan for small and micro enterprises is the main product of loan managers in the near future. Customizing shell companies for borrowers according to bank audit requirements to apply for mortgage loans has become a routine means for loan intermediaries to attract customers. Although many banks explicitly require that cooperation with loan intermediaries is not allowed, the attitude of bank branches and grassroots employees towards loan intermediaries is ambiguous. According to industry insiders, inclusive loans are special loans that benefit small and micro enterprises, farmers and other special groups and must be implemented. With the implementation of the financing coordination mechanism for small and micro enterprises, banks and enterprises are expected to achieve accurate docking, so that credit resources can flow to small and micro enterprises with real financing needs.

CSI A500ETF ushered in the first dividend-paying product. On December 11th, ICBC Credit Suisse Fund announced that ICBC CSI A500ETF planned to pay dividends and became the first dividend-paying CSI A500ETF. In fact, in the current low-rate background, the dividend mechanism has gradually become a differentiated selling point of popular ETFs. Among the 22 CSI A 500 ETFs in the first batch and the second batch, 4 products have a mandatory dividend mechanism, and the dividend ratio is not less than 60%. The dividend ratio of individual products can reach 80%, and the monthly dividend frequency is set for CSI A 500 ETFs. According to the analysis of public offering, under the guidance and encouragement of policies, the dividend mechanism of A-share listed companies has been continuously improved, and the dividend level has been continuously improved. Leading enterprises in the industry often have stronger willingness to pay dividends because of their stronger profitability and anti-risk ability. ETF products meet the liquidity needs of investors through dividends, which is conducive to improving the investment experience.
