HSBC Research has lowered expectations for rate cuts in 2026 following the People's Bank of China's recent monetary policy report. The report suggests a high likelihood of net interest income expansion for Chinese banks, particularly ICBC, CCB, and Bank of China H shares. The research indicates that corporate banking is outperforming retail, with positive growth in corporate loans. Additionally, banks are advised to limit high-interest interbank time deposits to reduce competition and funding costs.
