We value Chinese banks using a three-
stage GGM (PV= (ROE-g)/(COE-g)), with
target prices based on 2017E book
values. Downside risks: large-scale DES
on government intervention, over-
tightening and property price correction.
Upside risks: SOE reforms and removal
or softening of GDP targeting.
The CBRC released today The Guideline on Liquidity Risks of Commercial Banks, matching the Basel III standards of liquidity management (e.g. LCR and NSFR) and introducing new measures. We view it as a continuation of financial deleveraging, as we expect this regulation to lower banks’ duration mismatch, cut off wholesale funding and reduce investment in shadow banking assets. As such we see a net positive over the longer run as it reduces systemic liquidity risks. However, near term, the banks that are wholesale-funded and shadow-banking-centric are likely subject to NIM pressure. Among the banks we cover, joint-stock banks are more affected while big banks should benefit.
What prompted regulators to issue such a regulation? The leverage in China’s financial sector has increased notably in past years, characterized by rising duration mismatch and proliferation of shadow banking. Liquidity risks in the system trended up accordingly and only recently have started to moderate given the ongoing financial deleveraging campaign. To further contain liquidity risks, it is necessary to strengthen banks’ liquidity management, especially for joint-stock banks and smaller city/rural banks.
What are the regulatory changes? The key change is that the regulators introduced three liquidity risk indicators: 1) Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which measures banks’ ability to support medium-to-long-term funding needs; 2) Liquidity Matching Ratio (LMR), which measures the degree of duration mismatch; and 3) High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) Adequacy Ratio, which is a simplified version of Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and is applied to banks with assets below Rmb200bn. Together with LCR and Liquidity Ratio introduced in the past, the CBRC has established a comprehensive liquidity risk monitoring system (Fig 3).
What are the implications for the entire financial system? Judging by the details, China’s regulators are inclined to suppress interbank businesses with speculative purposes and to contain banks’ shadow banking exposure, while encouraging traditional loans/bond investments and the development of retail and SME banking. For example, the NSFR calculation assumes a much higher stability rate of 90-95% for retail deposits than 0-50% for corporate and interbank deposits. Also, for LMR the discounting rate for interbank deposits less than 3 months was only 0%, vs. 70% for deposits. This regulation is a follow-up to The Asset Management Guideline issued on 17 Nov 2017 (see our report), suggesting that the financial deleveraging campaign is not over yet. We expect China’s shadow banking to shrink with rising transparency while the growth of loan and bond market should stay resilient.
What are the implications for individual banks? We believe the regulation should favor banks with stronger deposit franchises, higher CASA ratio, less duration mismatch and better asset quality. Indeed, our detailed calculation (Fig 4) shows that deposit-funded banks i.e. big-four banks, are delivering higher LCR, LMR and Liquidity Ratio than other banks. Among the banks we cover, CMB, CNCB and MSB were reporting LCR lower than regulatory requirement, and many JSBs were showing lower LMR. We expect these banks to be subject to NIM pressure in the near run, as they may be forced to switch to lower-yield assets and/or to lengthen liability duration.

Liquidity Risk Management Guideline – Divergence continues between big and smaller banks
New liquidity risk regulation
We believe the funding side of China’s banking system weakened in recent
years during 2006-2016 with rising reliance on wholesale funding, which has
led to higher liquidity risks in the financial system. Interbank borrowing and
borrowing from NBFIs (non-bank financial institutions) accounted for 17% of
total liabilities of all banks as of end-2016, versus 8% in 2006 (Figure 1).
Smaller banks were borrowing short-term funding in the interbank market to
support aggressive asset expansion, which has led to rising duration mismatch
and proliferation of shadow banking. With increasing volatility in interbank
rates, there have been several risk incidents including the “liquidity crunch” in
June 2013, and more recently, default cases from a couple of rural commercial
banks in March 2017 as reported by media (Figure 2).

Regulators were not unaware of rising liquidity risks and they did issue a series
of regulations. The CBRC released the initial version of liquidity risk
management measures in 2014 March, requiring banks to fulfill 1) Liquidity
Ratio and 2) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). To be specific, liquidity coverage
ratio only applied to large and medium banks with assets over Rmb200bn,
resulting in insufficient supervision/oversight on smaller banks. In September
2015, CBRC further amended the liquidity risk management rules by removing
the 75% loan-to-deposit cap.
Revising liquidity risk management rules – 2017 version
The CBRC on 6 December 2017 released a new consultative document of
liquidity risk management measures. In this new version, the regulator
7 December 2017

Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Page 3
introduces three new liquidity risk measures: 1) Net Stable Funding Ratio
(NSFR), 2) Liquidity Matching Ratio (LMR), and 3) High Quality Liquid Assets
(HQLA) adequacy ratio. NSFR is part of a Basel III requirement, which only
applies to banks with assets larger than Rmb200bn, while the HQLA adequacy
ratio (a simplified LCR) applies to smaller banks (assets less than Rmb200bn).
The new rules strengthen liquidity risk management for both large and small
banks, and set a phase-in period to smooth new regulation impact. The revised
rules will be effective from March 2018. We summarize the new liquidity risk
measures in the table below.

Apart from the above liquidity risk indicators, the new regulation also
stipulates the new requirements below:
Detailed wholesale funding management: Need to set concentration
limits for different wholesale funding terms, i.e. below 1 month, 1-3
months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and over 1 year.
Intraday liquidity risk management: Need to measure expected fund
inflows and outflows at different intraday times and consider the
liquidity impact from unexpected incidents.
Peer group comparison: Need to alert risk when wholesale funding
growth/proportion or LDR is apparently higher than industry average
or peer group.
Expanding monitoring measures: Banks need to report to the CBRC
immediately when any of the liquidity risk measures (six indicators
now vs. only LCR and LDR in previous version) approaches or falls
below the minimum requirement.
Including policy banks: Policy banks, rural banks & financial
institutions and foreign banks need to follow the rules.
The implications on banks
We believe the regulation should favor banks with stronger deposit
franchises, higher CASA ratio, less duration mismatch and better asset
quality. Below is the summary table of listed banks’ three major liquidity
indicators except the net stable funding ratio (NSFR). According to banks’

1H17 financial statement, (1) all banks meet the LR requirement, (2) big banks
are compliant with the LCR requirement, while smaller banks may face
pressure in NIM to meet the LCR minimum requirement, (3) there’s still a grace
period of around 1 year for banks to lift up their liquidity matching ratio to 90%;

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
Based on 1H17 data, most big banks are compliant with the LCR minimum
requirement, among which big four banks are 13-21% ahead of the 100% floor
in 2018. On the flip side, some major JSBs are +5/-5 ppts close to the 90% LCR
floor in 2017, implying they will need to shift long-term assets to shorter
duration. Notably, CMB (83%), China CITIC Bank (84%) and Minsheng (88%)
were delivering lower than 90% LCR. This is likely to bring further pressure on
NIM. Flow-wise, big banks’ LCR saw high-single-digit percentage point hoh
declines, which we believe was due mainly to their aggressive investment in
long-term asset by taking advantage of the market rate hike year-to-date. As of
now, with notably higher LCR, big banks enjoy the possibility of lowering the
LCR so as to boost NIM and earnings.

Liquidity Ratio (LR)
As the minimum requirement of 25% liquidity has been adopted by
commercial banks for years, all listed banks under our coverage are compliant
with CBRC’s liquidity ratio requirement. As of 1H17, BOCQ reported the
highest liquidity ratio of 80% followed by some joint stock banks.

Liquidity ratio - 1H17(%)

Liquidity Matching Ratio (LMR)
Liquidity matching ratio (LMR) is the newly added requirement by CBRC in its
consultative draft; the purpose of this ratio is mainly to evaluate commercial
banks’ asset/liability duration allocation structure, aiming at leading
commercial banks to allocate more long-term/high-liquidity asset and liability.
On the flip side, CBRC seems to discourage development in interbank bank
business, on-B/S shadow banking (receivable investment), according to the
weighting composition of liquidity matching ratio formula. However, we
believe that it might not be an accurate measure to put bond investment and
shadow banking in the same category with 100% weighting. In our view, the
7 December 2017
Banks
Chinese banks
Page 6 Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong
weighting of high-liquidity bond investment (i.e. treasury bond, municipal bond,
etc.) is highly likely to be further revised down going forward.
Based on the formula disclosed by CBRC, we calculate that listed banks’
liquidity matching ratios are generally at 60-92%. The minimum requirement of
this ratio is set at 90%/100% by end-2018/2019. Big banks look more
compliant with the new requirement while smaller banks will be further
depressed on either shortening asset duration or lengthening the term of
liability; either way will lead to further pressure on smaller banks’ NIM.

and shadow banking investment

Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)
NSFR is a liquidity risk measure in the Basel III framework in addition to LCR.
NSFR only applies to banks with assets over Rmb200bn and they need to
achieve a minimum 100% NSFR from March 2018. CBRC does not provide a
phase-in period for this measure this time, as 1) the regulator started to require
banks to quantify the NSFR impact (and LCR as well) since 2010, and 2) PBOC
already included NSFR in the MPA framework at the beginning of 2016. NSFR
is calculated as stable funding available divided by stable funding needed
where:
Available stable funding mainly includes 1) 100% of capital and
longer than 1 year capital tools, 2) 90%-95% of demand deposit and
shorter than 1-year time deposit from retail and SMEs, 3) 50% of
shorter than 1-year deposit from corporate customers and 6-months to
1-year wholesale funding, and 4) 0% of other funding.
Needed stable funding mainly includes 1) 100% of longer than 1-year
encumbered assets and loans overdue beyond 90 days, 2) 65%-85% of
unencumbered performing loans with residual maturity longer than 1
year, 3) 50% of unencumbered lowered credit rating assets and loans
shorter than 1 year; 4) 5% for off-balance sheet commitment and 5)
0%-15% for other safer and short-term assets.
Unfortunately, due mainly to lack of sufficient disclosure, we are unable to
calculate NSFR for individual banks. According to NSFR’s definition, banks
with lower retail CASA and higher long-term high risk weight credit assets may
report lower NSFR. Reading from the two charts below, we believe INDB,
SPDB, BoCom and BOBJ may be under pressure to fulfill the NSFR
requirement.

Valuation and risks
Valuation of Chinese banks
We value Chinese banks using a three-stage Gordon Growth Model (PV= (ROE-
g)/(COE-g)), with target prices based on 2017E book values.
Our valuations of the Chinese banks under our coverage assume a near-term
(2016-18E) ROE of 11.5-16.9%, a medium-term (2019-21E) ROE of 10.5-14.0%
and a terminal ROE of 8.0-12.0%, with a COE of 11.5-14.0%. In Figure 12, we
highlight our valuation comparison of the listed banks.
In our estimates, H-share/A-share listed Chinese banks are trading at 2017E
P/B of 0.80x/0.98x and 2017E P/E of 5.96x/7.29x.

Risks for Chinese banks
Key sector risks for Chinese banks Disorderly deleveraging: the government could place disorderly
deleveraging requirements on certain industries, which might
unexpectedly lead to a bank run and squeeze banks’ wholesale
funding.
Over-tightening in real estate and infrastructure: If both industries
saw unfavourable credit conditions, the overall banking system may
have little chance to avoid asset quality deterioration.
Significant property price corrections: NPL ratios usually surge
following an over-correction in property market prices, according to
historical experience. For example, Wenzhou’s NPL ratio surged by
7 December 2017
Banks
Chinese banks
Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Page 9
4.3ppts to 4.7%, accompanying a 47% price correction in the city’s
property market.
CPI picks up and the PBOC is forced to hike benchmark rates: a
potential benchmark rate hike in the near term will likely be more
harmful to corporates (higher interest burden), which cannot be fully
offset by a profitability recovery under better economic growth,
considering that corporates’ leverage ratio remains at a higher level, in
spite of the mild improvement recently.
Larger-than-expected DES size given potentially stronger
government invention. Without strict selection criteria on the viability
of target companies, it could potentially ‘evergreen’ the debts of
zombie companies, worsen capital allocation and raise investment risk
for banks.
Key upside risks for the sector:
Removal of the softening of GDP targets: In the long run, we believe
this movement will likely be meaningfully positive to banks’ RoE/RoA,
as most of the legacy NPLs are disposed within the near term (two to
three years) and banks should have notably lighter credit cost burdens
in the future.
More aggressive SOE reform to push forward privatization: SOEs are
likely to be more market-oriented, profitability might be better and
asset quality will likely recover accordingly. As of now, we are seeing
improving conditions at industrial SOEs, while non-industrial SOEs
seem to still be struggling. We are closely tracking SOEs’ profitability
and ROE.
Pick-up in private investment by further deregulation and favourable
policies. Private companies in general are more productive and
efficient than SOEs. A leading indicator could be a pick-up in private
companies’ debt growth, which is muted for now.

Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise
to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed-rate instruments (thus receiving these cash
flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a
loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the
loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse
macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation
(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency
convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or liquidation of positions), and
settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors. The sensitivity of fixed-income
instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX
depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. The index fixings may – by
construction – lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of
the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons
indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. Funding in a currency
that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Options on swaps (swaptions) the risks
typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.
Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The
appropriateness of these products for use by investors depends on the investors' own circumstances, including their tax
position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities; as such, investors should take
expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by the contents of this
publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the
high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the
amount of funds initially deposited – up to theoretically unlimited losses. Trading in options involves risk and is not
suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option, investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of
Standardized Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to
access the website, please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.
Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including: (i) exchange rates
can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; (ii) the value of currencies may be affected by numerous market
factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and debt markets and
changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government-imposed exchange controls,
which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the
currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.
