Support eligible areas to carry out digital RMB pilots.
According to a new research report by Ping An Securities, digital RMB is expected to build a new payment system, and it is recommended to grasp digital RMB investment opportunities from both hardware equipment and software system.
Ping An Securities Research Note: China's digital RMB has recently gained speed in piloting and still has great room for penetration increase. Under the premise of centralized management by the central bank, commercial banks and related institutions are jointly promoting the application pilot.
Companies such as Jingdong and Meituan lead the internet industry in digital RMB adoption, mainly due to strong willingness to promote, rich spending scenarios, and large incentives for discounts. By the end of 2021, over 1 million users have used digital RMB at Jingdong, with a cumulative spending amount of over RMB 200 million. In terms of consumption scenarios, Jingdong and Meituan both have rich e-commerce and local life application scenarios.
In terms of incentives, in addition to traditional offset coupons, Jingdong became the first company to use digital RMB to pay salaries, and Meituan launched a digital RMB low-carbon ride. The digital RMB is currently in the early stages of development, with both opportunities and challenges. Hardware manufacturers may benefit from the market opportunities brought by the digital RMB "hard wallet".
A key feature of the digital RMB is that it supports mobile NFC, bracelet wearable devices and other hardware to complete payments. As the acceptance of related "hard wallets" increases, related digital RMB hardware developers will have the opportunity to obtain more related orders and boost their performance. Software vendors may benefit from the business growth brought by the upgrade of the financial system. With the popularity of digital renminbi, financial institutions will need to upgrade their software systems, which may bring huge demand for system upgrades for relevant software vendors.

Huatai Securities: LPR not lowered, stable expectations need to be increased
March LPR cut expectations fall short again. Today (March 21) at 9:15 pm, the central bank announced to keep the 1-year and 5-year+ LPR unchanged at 3.7% and 4.6% in March. Previously, the central bank cut the 1-year LPR by 5 and 10 basis points for two consecutive months in December last year and January this year, and cut the 5-year+ LPR by 5 basis points in January this year. However, LPR quotes have remained unchanged for two consecutive months since February this year, and market expectations for a cut have continued to fall short.
We reiterate that even if it is mainly just signaling, a lower LPR is more conducive to stabilizing expectations, especially since the market has some expectations for a lower LPR after the March 16 Golden Stability Board meeting.
Beyond the interest rate cut, how can we observe the subsequent progress in stabilizing growth and expectations?
(1) One of the most important things to watch in the near term is the real estate-related policy adjustments.
(2) Whether epidemic prevention and control will be effective soon, or whether there will be a timely and orderly shift to a less economically impactful and more sustainable framework, has also been a recent focus.
(3) Whether the fiscal boosts infrastructure and, more importantly, whether the implementation of massive tax cuts remains a 2Q observation point.
(4) If not to cut interest rates to send signals, other monetary policy channels to stabilize growth policies or need to significantly increase, especially the expansion of base money, otherwise credit is not stable from.
