China’s largest state-owned lenders reported largely stagnant 2025 earnings amid narrowing margins and Beijing’s push to support the economy. Agricultural Bank of China’s net income rose 3.2% to 291 billion yuan, while Bank of China’s grew 2.1%, with peers posting similar gains. Weak lending margins and rising impairments persisted. Authorities in March pledged special sovereign bond issuance to recapitalize major banks and bolster the $69 trillion financial system.

China is likely to take a more cautious approach to further capital account liberalization, according to ANZ Research’s Greater China chief economist Raymond Yeung. While the recent increase in outbound investment quota under the QDII scheme signals support for portfolio flows into Hong Kong, Yeung said policymakers are expected to prioritize stability amid external uncertainties. He noted that QDII approvals have slowed since 2021, with authorities likely to allow selective institutional flows rather than broad-based opening.
