We will now open the questions from Beijing and Hong Kong. They will take questions in turns. To allow more participation, please ask only one question each time, and please introduce yourself and your media affiliation before asking a question. Please begin. We will now take a question from Beijing. Hi. Thank you, Ms. Han, from SIDC. In your presentation, I'm very pleased to see some improvement compared with the Q1 results, especially in revenue. Can you please expand on the drivers? What's your outlook for the profits for this year, and what are the further measures that you can resort to to boost income further? Mr. Sheng will take the question. Thank you, Mr. Ma. This year, we have seen marginal improvement in all the business and profit indicators. Operating income and profit before provision have seen positive growth, 2.95% and 3.37%, respectively. ROA, ROE, NIM, cost to income ratio, and capital adequacy ratio have been industry-leading. We have taken the following measures. Number one, we improved on our capability to balance volume and price. We have seen a narrowed decline in NIM, and we strengthened high-quality financial services. In the first half, interest-bearing assets have increased by 7.45% on average daily. That's 1.53 more percentage points than the first quarter. Loan and bond investment have added CNY 2.7 trillion compared with the end of 2024. That's a record in three years. We focus on key areas in optimizing credit structure. Five among the five priorities. In infrastructure and in loans to manufacturing industries, we have seen fast growth, and the growth rate is higher than bank average. We strengthened our efforts in credit finance and personal finance. In personal finance, the growth rate is over 5%. We have taken a more refined approach in pricing management. The NIM in the first half was 1.4%, and there was only a 1 percentage point down compared with Q1. Demand deposit is 41%. That's industry-leading. Secondly, we foster new drivers, increasing the contribution from non-interest income. In the first half, non-interest income is CNY 99.2 billion, up 25.9%. Non-interest income takes up 25.7% of operating income, 4.68 percentage points compared with last year. In the first half, loan commission and fees have added 4.02%, especially in wealth management, investment banking, asset management, and transaction bank. On the other hand, we strengthened our market analysis and transaction strategy, leading to higher income in other non-interest income. Thirdly, we have improved our cost management system. In the first half, we have seen a 1.18% increase in operating income. Cost to income ratio, 23.72%, down 0.43 percentage points, industry-leading. Fourthly, we solidified the foundation for risk control. We have seen very stable asset quality, NPL ratio being 1.33%, down by 1 basis points compared with last year. We have seen higher risk mitigation capabilities. Provision ratio is up 5.8 percentage points, reaching 239.4%. Looking at the whole year, we will remain steadfast with high-quality development. We will optimize our asset liability structure and focus on comprehensive financial services. We will strengthen asset quality control. We will remain stable profit growth. Thank you, Mr. Sheng. Now we will take another question from Hong Kong. Thank you for the opportunity from Citibank. I have a question related to NIM. Among the major banks, CCB has very good NIM levels. In Q2, the decline in NIM has narrowed. From an asset and liability perspective, can you please talk about NIM outlook? With several rate cuts, what's the impact on NIM, and when do we expect the NIM to return to a normal level? Mr. Sheng will take the question. Thank you for the question. Mr. Zhang, in his presentation, mentioned that in Q2, our NIM was 1.4%. There was a month-on-month, quarter-on-quarter narrowing. There was a 1 percentage point decrease. If you compare that with our peers, this level is still industry-leading. From both asset and liability perspective, on the asset, last year, LPR cuts and the LPR deposit rate cuts in May this year, both factors have led to market changes where interest rates remain low. To the industry in general and to CCB especially, they have some impact on yield on the asset side. There was a 45 percentage point decline in the yield rate of asset side. On the liability side, as Mr. Zhang puts it, we have strengthened the control of liability asset control, especially on the long-term deposit with long duration and high interest. Last year, in the first half, the interest rate for deposits was down by 32 basis points. On top of deposit, we have controlled the liability side with the interest rate down by 34 basis points. We have optimized asset allocation, and we controlled the interbanking assets, and we increased our effort to allow more loans and bond investment. In the first half, loans and financial investments, when it comes to daily balances, their share in interest-generating assets have seen a 1.6 percentage point increase. The higher share of high-yield assets has offset the decline in NIM. Your second question is relating the impact of lower LPR on NIM going forward and the general NIM outlook going forward. In general, both the LPR cut last year and the deposit rate cut this year have some lingering effect. Given that the pricing of loans has developed faster than deposit rate, there will be further pressure on NIM in decline going forward. Our sense is that given that the central bank is improving a monetary policy framework and especially in promoting the transmission mechanism of interest rates, there are some changes in how they use monetary policy tools. In recent years, in guiding the interest cuts on the deposit side, on the loan side, and supporting the real economy, they emphasized the balance between liability and asset side. In recent years, with LPR cuts, they have resorted to some mechanisms in guiding the decline of interest rates on the liability side. Last year, on top of guiding the interest rate cut on the deposit side, they have also strengthened the self-disciplinary mechanism of interbank deposit. Last year, since Q4 2024, the interest rate in interbank loans has declined even further. You may have noticed that since the first half of this year, the central bank has used better monetary policy tools. They have been more prudent, especially using structural monetary policy tools to guide the banking industry to support key economies. For example, in May, the government came up with the refinancing tools worth CNY 500 billion to support services industry and elderly care. The use of these monetary policy tools has less impact on NIM. We believe that when it comes to NIM trend, the decline of NIM will further narrow, and we are confident that through our proactive management, our NIM level will be industry-leading going forward as usual. Thank you, Mr. Shen. Now we will take a question from Beijing. Thank you. Thank you. From Thank you. From China Media Group, I have a question regarding the directions of loans. You have presented on the business results in the first half. What are the key areas that you lend your loan to? In the first half, what's your arrangement for infrastructure loans in the first half and in the second half? Two days later, the government will roll out the subsidy for interest rates for consumption loans. Are you prepared for that? Mr. Zhang Yi will answer the question. Thank you, CCTV journalist, for your question. The first is about the loan issuance. For the first half of this year, CCB has executed the guidelines, and we also stick to the market expansion, support the real economy to transform and upgrade. We have had a balanced loan issuance. Actually, the loan issuance increased by CNY 1 trillion. It is faster than the industry average, and we have supported the real economy. In terms of the direction, the corporate loans increased very fast. Actually, the speed is at 5.59%, 8.59%, and it is standing at CNY 11 trillion. For the personal loan increase, it's quite steady. There is also the domestic loan increase. There are several characteristics. First is the consumption loan is continuing to be solidified, including the personal loan, the personal housing loan, and the consumption loan continue to keep a leading position in the industry. In terms of the total amount and the increment of personal loans, it is leading in the industry. The inclusive loans balance reached CNY 1.74 trillion. For the retail loan, it is also maintaining at a leading level in terms of the percentage. Secondly, we have a very precise direction support, especially on the five key areas. The average speed is faster than the industry average. In terms of technology loan, it is also increased by 16.81%, standing at CNY 5 trillion. For the strategic and emerging industry loans, it is CNY 3.3 trillion, increased by 18.92%. In terms of some green and low carbon transformation loans, it is CNY 5.72 trillion with a speed of 14.88%. In terms of digital core industry, the loans are also standing at CNY 852 billion with a speed of 13%. For the loans, actually, the growth rate is developing at an industry-leading position with very steady growth. Just now, you mentioned the infrastructure loans. CCB is also born with the mission of construction. We also prosper because of development and construction. The infrastructure loans are our pillar. Over the years, we have strengthened our capability to strengthen the infrastructure development of the country. We also stick to the whole cycle loans and the related services. We have also enhanced our financial services to the infrastructure development. The related loan growth is also higher than the industry average. It also increased by 0.23 percentage points on a worldwide basis for the second half of this year. With the key national projects execution and the application of some dedicated and earmarked bonds, there will be better results. We also have taken a more powerful KPI policy and optimized some credit loan policy. We also have the whitelist to be included in our head office. We had the related mechanism to support the infrastructure loans. The results will be more obvious for the second half. Your third question is about the personal retail loans, personal consumption loans, and the service sector loans. For the personal consumption loan, we attach high importance. We also made our whole bank deployment. We think that the policy issuance will decrease the cost for the people to file loans. There will be a leverage effect for more loans to the consumption area. We should also identify the real needs from the people and try to integrate the loan issuance to the consumption scenarios, try to improve high-quality financial services so that the bonus of these national policies will be released in a better way, and the consumption potential will be fully released. That is all of my answer to your questions. Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Next question will be to the Hong Kong venue, the gentleman from the left-hand side on the fifth row. Thank you. I'm from HSBC. I'm Gary. I'm an analyst. We noticed that for the second half, your bond investment also increased from CNY 10 trillion to CNY 11 trillion with a relatively high speed with a fluctuation of bond market. How you make your plans for bond investment? We also noticed that the Ministry of Finance also had some policies on the stock market stamp. Will that affect your bond investment? Thank you for your question. For the first half, the landscape is having two characteristics. First, low interest, and then there is some fluctuation on both sides. We have also combed our thoughts and optimized our policies. First, we actively participate in the real economy, providing various supports. For the financing amount, it is around CNY 8.8 trillion. This amount is higher than last year. We try to guarantee the smooth issuance of the local bonds and the national bonds so that the financing demands of the real economy can be better met. We try to leverage on our role as a big commercial bank. The RMB bond investment also increased by CNY 1 trillion as compared with last year. For the incremental, it is mainly flowing to the national bond, local bond, and the corporate bond. The percentage these three types take up is 92%. In terms of green bond investment, it is also increasing by several times. Secondly, our strategy is more proactive. The total bond investment scale is at CNY 11 trillion. It is quite a high level. For such a scale, we have to take a more proactive managing policy. For the first half, affected by various internal and external factors, the interest rate is also fluctuating. We also put emphasis on the structure of the inventory, try to adjust various structures. The percentage of treasury also increased by 1 percentage point of the national bond. We also seize the opportunity of the markets and try to optimize the structure of the secondary market investment. We have also kept a leading position in the industry in this regard. We also try to improve the capacity of the market maker. As a market maker, our country is also the world's second largest bond market. We try to improve our capacity as a market maker. We also increased the percentage of the financial assets with market value. It also increased by 6.5 percentage points. We also try to expand our services of Panda Bond and various other credit bonds. The customer volume also increased by 75%. We also participated in the multilevel bond market development through various ways. We try to improve our services, increase the types of the technology-related bonds. The position also increased by CNY 14 billion from our customer side. In terms of scale, we are also ranking the first in terms of the underwriting volume over CNY 400 billion. We also promoted the facilitation of bond market development, try to push forward the opening up of the capital market. You also mentioned another issue. Recently, for the newly issued national bonds and local bonds, there is a new policy. With the new policy by the Ministry of Finance, the overall bond market is very smooth and steady. The impact actually is quite neutral for CCB. We try to adjust. We think that this policy is quite beneficial for the inventory bonds. Our percentage of these types of bonds is 79%. In the future, this policy will be more beneficial for such premium assets. In the future, we will follow closely the macro policy and these assets development. We will also attach importance to the taxation policy and its impact. We will continue to make a good role of the market maker and try to improve high-quality transaction services to our clients. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. G. Now we will invite the Beijing venue to raise questions. The gentleman from the right-hand side, the fourth row. Thank you, senior management. I'm from Guangdong Development Securities. I'm Li Jing. I want to ask a question about deposits. Can you elaborate on the increase of deposits, what measures you have taken? With the interest cut environment, what kind of measures will you take to stabilize and increase the deposits? Thank you for your questions. I will answer this question. Marks or once mentioned, deposits are always important for a bank. CCB has always put deposits as the pillar of our bank. Especially in recent two years, the interest rate is on the downturn trend. The deposits balance is a benchmark for a high-quality bank. For the first half of this year, the deposits of CCB are steady with optimal structure and also with optimal interest rate. Mr. Sheng also introduced. For the first half, the two deposits volume is also increased by CNY 1.76 trillion with a total amount of CNY 30 trillion. The interest payment ratio also decreased by 32 basis points. The increasing ratio is also at the industry-leading position. We have several measures. First, we should also emphasize on the expansion of our talent pool. We have to expand more of our customer base. We have always taken this as our basic principle. For the first half, our corporate customers are over 12 million, and our personal customers are 377 million. This is the basis of our achievements. Secondly, we must adapt to market dynamics with more innovative products so we can create a closed loop of all industrial chains. As Mr. Zhang puts it, we need to adapt to market changes to corporate customers, to personal customers. We need to take an integrated approach through different scenarios and platforms. We must enhance customer engagement so we can connect ecosystems of customers. Vertically, we need to extend our industrial services chain and supply chain. As for clusters of industrial products, we will make steady progress with marketing services. Through this closed loop, our product mixes will be integrated into every step of our production process. The funding of our customers can be kept in this closed loop. This will lay a good foundation for our low-cost deposit growth. Thirdly, we will leverage on technology and data, especially AI, as an enabler so we can target customers in customer profiling and marketing. This is true in both personal and corporate finance. We have customer insights, and we can identify the right products and services. For example, as for long-tail customers, we will resort to good management. In the first half, we have added CNY 130 billion of new corporate loans. In retail business, through robotic services, we have seen renewal of 95% of our existing services. This is not an easy job because we are talking about a trillion-level size across the bank. Without technology, without data, this is impossible. Fourthly, we need to adapt ourselves to the new market reality that's lower deposit interest rate. The customers are going for multi-asset in their asset management. By the end of June this year, the AUM in our personal finance exceeded CNY 22 trillion. To customers, corporate customers, the total assets amounted to CNY 12.8 trillion. We have added 4.48 million customers in personal wealth management services, and we have seen added value from personal customers of CNY 1.7 trillion. With steady deposit growth, another indicator that I'd like to share is that we have a higher contribution from demand deposits. In the first half, demand deposits exceeded 30% with 15% year-on-year growth. That means through our innovative management systems, we have seen a higher share in demand deposit, which is a bellwether for a good customer relationship. It is also a good sign for a bank's integrated service capabilities. Going forward, CCB will keep a close eye on market dynamics, and especially in capital markets. When people have higher demand for wealth management services, we will foresee the trends of the capital market. We will move with this trend and further innovate our services so we can lay a much solid foundation for deposit services. In this way, CCB will improve its capabilities to serve the real economy. That's what I wanted to say for this question. Now we will take another question from Hong Kong. Thank you, management from Phoenix TV. I have a question related to asset quality. In the first half, the asset quality was stable. Could you please talk about which measures you have taken and what are the features of asset quality in the first half, and what's your outlook for asset quality in the second half? Vice President Mr. Li will take the question. Thank you. CCB has always committed itself to risk control, and we will take a visionary approach in risk control. By the end of June 2025, NPL ratio was 1.33%, down by 0.01 percentage points. Special mission loans, 1.81 percentage points, down by 0.08 percentage points compared with the same period of last year. We have seen stabilized asset quality. Provision coverage ratio is 239.4%, up 5.8%. We have maintained very good risk mitigation capability in key areas. In real estate, aside from meeting the demand for financing from the industry, we have deeply analyzed the dynamics of risks, and we have strengthened monitoring so we can prevent these risks. By the end of June, NPL ratio from the real estate industry is down by 0.05 percentage points compared with the end of 2024. In inclusive finance, given the risks in recent years, while we are supporting consumption and support SMEs, we are also enhancing our risk management system and building a better risk management system so we can embed these risk control tools in our credit policy and process. We are strengthening different processes from warning to loan collection. We enhance the management of risks from end to end. We can increase the efficiency of risk control so we can guarantee the stable development of our business with stable and steady measures in risk control. The asset quality of a bank has to do with the real economy, but it's also closely linked to its risk control capabilities. On a macro level, in the first half, we have seen very steady economic progress with sound, prudent macroeconomic measures. In some key areas, the risks have been mitigated steadily. To CCB, we will continue to monitor our credit policies, and we will go for differentiated policies. We will enhance our credit policy. We will keep a close eye on key areas and take different measures to mitigate risks and further solidify the foundation of risk management. Going forward in the second half, we will implement the instructions from the Party Central Committee and the State Council on mitigating financial risks. We will enhance risk control, adjust structure, and strengthen our own risk mitigation capabilities. Going forward, in the predictable future, we can maintain stable indicators, and we have abundant risk mitigation capabilities. Thank you, Mr. Li. Next question will come from Beijing. Thank you, management. From an economic journal, CCB has the first-mover advantage in financial technology or fintech. In digital technology and digital economy, what's the latest progress, is this work efficient, and what's your next-step plan? Mr. Li will take the question. Thank you. Digital transformation, fintech, and serving the digital economy, these are the responsibilities of our bank endowed by the Central Committee of CCB and also one of the important drivers behind high-quality development. We will implement government instructions and focus on the five priorities, solidifying the foundation for digital transformation and support digital services and the digital economy. There are four major areas. Number one, the foundation for the digital economy will be strengthened. After the transition to a distributed system, we have seen higher system capability, and the processing time is reduced by 30%. Our integrated transaction handling capability is doubled. We proceed with AI technology, and we have billions of parameters in CCB's large language model. In risk management, our smart assistant will provide end-to-end immersive service to customers. Our special customer managers can serve more customers from 200 to 600. Our AI assistant can cover different services, financial analysis, assessment. They can complete a financial analysis report in minutes, not hours. It takes only 40 seconds to generate a financial assessment report. 80% of our personnel are using AI encoding, and 30% of the coding is used in reality. At the same time, we've strengthened the governance of enterprise-level data, so data safety and security and quality can be managed systematically. In the first half, we have seen an 8% increase in the users of AI services, especially in product innovation, risk control, etc. We have a more multiplying effect. We use CPU-distributed time technologies to increase the computing power by 25% so we can use resources more efficiently, and the technologies are greener. Secondly, we have enhanced our digital ecosystem. We strengthened our mobile app as the main service platform, and we continue to optimize customer experience so we have more new products. When it comes to healthy life, we focus on consumption financing and personal financing so we can allow customers to use our financial services in different scenarios. By the end of June, these two platforms combined have served 530 million customers. Monthly average active customers reached 243 million, up 44.4%. We have wealth management customers on our mobile banking of 14 million, up 14.75%. We have strengthened our RMB operation system. By the end of June, the personal wallet and corporate wallet for digital CNY have increased by 9.96% and 10.73%.

We have customer managers serving 18,000 customers. The AOM online is 10% higher than offline. We are strengthening the operational management system at an enterprise level so we can improve customer experience.

We can enable the digital technology used in opening foreign currency accounts and other services. Our risk monitoring platforms have supported our subsidiaries to mitigate risks. 98% of our customers have been able to send warnings to the bank before the risks were exposed. Fourthly, our highly efficient services can enable the development of the digital economy. By the end of June, the loan to core digital economy sectors have amounted to CNY 852 billion, up by 13.44%. We offer internet companies, small and medium-sized companies with different services, for example, payment, invoicing, wealth management, and data. We will continue to upgrade our supply chain finance so we can create an all-process supply chain. In the first half, in total, we have served 132,000 customers with funding support of CNY 688 billion. The financing loan is CNY 782 million. We will continue to strengthen the digital transformation and promote the low-carbon, green finance, and digital center development. We will also try to release the power of the computation and algorithm, try to promote the systematic development of AI with the systematic application and also the database development at the corporate level. We will also have the whole chain systematic digital transformation to contribute our power to the digital transformation of the country. Now we will hand over the question to the Hong Kong venue, the lady from the fourth row on the left-hand side. Thank you for the opportunity. I'm from Credit Suisse. I want to ask a question about the fee income. I also noticed that for the first half, your net fee income also has a positive growth of 4%. What is the driving force of this growth? How do you look at the whole year prospect, and what are the measures to promote the better performance of fee income growth? I will invite Mr. Sheng Liurong, our CFO, to answer. Thank you for your question. You are the old friend of CCB. Thank you for your support. For the first half of this year, we also acted according to the flow of the policy and the market and tried to improve our service capability and tried to create more fee income. Just now, Mr. Zhang also briefed you. For the fee income, we realized CNY 65.2 billion with an increase of 4%. You mentioned you asked what are the influencing factors. There were three, actually. First, our customer base continues to be enhanced and solidified. The central government encouraged the banks to strengthen the support to the physical economy. With such macro policy, we increased our expansion and outreach to the customers and projects. We continue to expand our customer pool. There were some statistics. For example, for the first half, our credit customers exceeded 100 million. For the wealth management and private bank customers, also increased over 20% by growth. Our corporate customers in CNY settlement also exceeded 1.7 million. The increment is nearly 1 million. We also have a system called Feixu Yijia. This is the investment banking service. This is about providing the financial consultancy services to our corporate banks. In this system, we have over 70,000 customers. We have realized the fee income increased because of this customer base expansion. Secondly, we also improved our service capability, for example, to the private banking customers through digital operation and linear management. Our third-party payment also contributed over CNY 10 billion in terms of the fee income, and we also increased our coverage of the products. The whole corporate customer-related income is also very steady. We are also leading in the industry. Just now, President Zhang also mentioned for the first half, we also increased our loans to the physical economy, especially for some key projects and key regions. In the meantime, our loans, the investment banking business, and the engineering consultancy services also increased the income. The third factor is we see the opportunity of the recovery of the capital market for the underwriting fund business. The growth is over 20%. We also have the CTS. No matter from the volume of the customer or the volume of the deposits, they also realized a very good increase. For CTS income, it increased by over 40%. For the insurance business, for the first quarter, the volume increased, but the income has not realized positive growth. For the second quarter, there are very positive results. We realized both positive growth in terms of the volume and also the customer, and the income increased by nearly 30%. Thanks to these three factors, the fee income increased very positively, and it also contributed to the optimization of our income structure. I will explain in two aspects. First, just as was just mentioned by Mr. Zhang, our non-interest income also takes up, represent 25% of the whole income. For the fee income, actually, the fee income and commission income represent 16.9%. Actually, Ms. Yin, you are a professional analyst. What does it reflect? I think you can tell that. It shows our light asset percentage is also increasing. Another factor is that we have increased some new function. For example, the wealth management and investment banking. The income of these areas also exceeds 60% of the whole fee income. For the next step, we will continue to stick to our principle, putting the customer at the center, improve our service. We will try to do two solidification and two improvements. For the solidification, we will solidify our basic or our fundamental capability and policies. We will try to stimulate the internal demand and promote consumption. For the second half, we will increase the business on credit card and consumption, and also several key and hot areas like travel and tourism consumption. We hope that through these aspects, we will increase the income of credit card business and the related business. For the third-party payment, the income is also increasing. In terms of the products and the settlement system and also the cash management system, we will continue to improve and to optimize in order to elevate the customer experience and consolidate our fundamental capability. For the two improvements, we will first improve our wealth management capability. The other is our corporate financing service. For the wealth management, we know that there is high demand. For the next step, we will continue to improve our consultancy and investment research capability, have a more precise customer profiling. Based on that, we will customize the asset allocation policy to the customers based on their risk appetite. Through that, we try to improve the fee income further. For the corporate wealth management, we will also put forward some specified resolutions and try to meet their wealth management demands. Another is we will also try to improve our financing service capability to the corporate customers. We know that this year marks the final year of the 14th five-year plan and the starting of the 15th five-year plan. For the 15th five-year plan, there were also some projects unfolding. President Zhang also mentioned that CCB is born with the mission of construction. We should emphasize on these businesses. For example, for some incremental projects, we can provide some consultancy, consortium, and the investment banking services. These can bring about new income. The other is that for the inventory of the fund, we have a stable cash flow. We can, through these aspects, bring about the new growth of the fee income. Thank you. Thank you. We will have the question from Beijing, the lady from the third row. I'm from Xinhua News Agency. We know that for the high-tech companies and the related companies are also developing rapidly. What are the measures and policies CCB has put forward to support these high-tech companies? Thank you for your question. I will answer this question. Just now, the journalist from Taiping also mentioned that CCB has an advantage on fintech and digital economy. Actually, we also have the preemptive advantage on technology finance. We're very happy to see that over the years, the high-tech companies and tech companies are booming rapidly. CCB, if you look at our history, I think many investors are very familiar with the CCB, the analysts too. If you look at the history of CCB, we emphasize on innovation. This is in our DNA. For example, in tech finance, the central government has put forward the policy on the innovation of industry and finance. CCB is also among the first to establish the technology-related department. We also have the innovation of related products and structures. Especially from this year, our Party Secretary also attached high importance. We convened the meeting, and we have this systematic action plan for the technology finance. The central government convened a meeting and mentioned that technology innovation and industry innovation should be integrated in a deeper way. We feel that CCB has seized the focuses. We made some preemptive arrangements already. For the positioning of our bank, we want to become the top choice. We will start from this position, try to do a good job in serving technology finance. Our balance also reached CNY 1.5 trillion. The increment also reached CNY 741 billion. Now, the percentage of technology loans is 18.78%, up by 1.7 percentage points. We have over 300,000 technology corporate customers. This is also leading in the whole industry. We have also found the high-tech foundation with a scale of several hundred billion. We also have 77 technology funds with a scale of over CNY 160 billion. We also have the whole investment of over CNY 90 billion for the technology companies' equity investment. In technology companies, in our financial services to them, the bank headquarters have identified a very clear strategy. Secondly, we have built this customer ecosystem that supports both tech innovation and industrial innovation. On top of our prior experience, we will extend our services to research institutions and national laboratories, namely this fundamental research capabilities. On the other end, our services will be extended to local industrial funds and venture capitalists so we can pull everything together: financial capital, industrial, and social capital, so we can form the national task force of patient capital. This is how we can lay a good foundation for supporting tech companies with commercial and investment banking. In this way, we seized the opportunity of RSA, and we worked with 18 provinces in collaborative projects. We worked with NDRC, especially their special fund for major FIs. To serve national strategic industries, we can mobilize hundreds of billions of CNY of social capital so we can build this customer ecosystem. Secondly, we can build this integrated commercial and investment banking product mix that combines technologies and whole lifecycle management of customers with our complete product portfolio. We can offer an integrated service package. We can offer equity loans for the tech startups, and we can offer collateralized loans for intellectual property if any of them have the demand for technology transfer. We can serve these companies in every phase of their lifetime. We have a complete product portfolio and the information which is available online. Thirdly, we will build this ecosystem where we can have real-time interaction with our customers, and the transaction can be carried out real-time as well. On our website, on our mobile banking app, customers can enjoy real-time interaction with the bank. We have special sections on our website for financial services to tech companies so we can accurately identify customers to improve service efficiency. In this way, we can build this smart brain for technology finance in our bank. By the end of June, Feiqiu Yizhao saw over 340,000 registered customers. We have 6,200 projects, and the total funding approved was CNY 370 billion. The successful matching ratio is 90%. Our tool has withstood the test of time and market. We created this Hui Dongyi mobile service platform for inclusive finance so we can offer offline and online financial services. Fourthly, CCB has created this huge network that covers five layers with the bank headquarters and outlets. For example, we have identified 405 outlets and banking branches that are specialized in technology. These outlets can cover all the areas where tech companies are thriving. Going forward, we will implement the instructions from the Party Central Committee, and we will contribute to our national initiative in building a strong technology powerhouse so we can make our banks do contribution to that great effort. Not long ago, we announced that, and we also received feedback from our investors. This press conference is also live-streamed. We have received comments from investors online as well. All your questions have been covered in the Q&A session. Regarding questions related to real estate, we will select one of the questions to answer. The question goes, since the beginning of this year, as the national policies stopped the decline in the property market, regarding your mortgage loans, how did it fare in supporting the real economy in terms of size, growth, and interest rate? How do you look at the outlook for housing loans for the whole year? Mr. T will take the question. Thank you for the question. Since the beginning of the year, the government has rolled out a series of policies to stop housing price decline. Different cities have different measures, and these measures have paid off. CCB is actively responding to these changes. We strengthen our differentiated approach to regional development, supporting our customers in their demand, both as a first-time home buyer and for housing update. As Mr. Zhang puts it, in the first half, housing loans have increased remarkably compared with last year. We have seen a stable outstanding loan amount. By the end of June, the outstanding loan balance for real estate was CNY 6.15 trillion, leading the industry. Speaking of structure, some new changes in the real estate market have created better rooms for improvement. Since this year, second-hand houses have seen a higher percentage in total transactions. We took advantage of this opportunity, given that second-hand houses have different types and are distributed more evenly geographically. We have extended our service outlets so we can serve our customers at a higher efficiency to boost the development of second-hand house businesses. In the first half, loans to second house buying were leading the industry, 20% year-on-year growth compared with last year. Newly added loans have seen CNY 43.6 billion of newly added loans to second-hand houses. Outstanding bank loan balances to second-hand housing were CNY 1.89 trillion, the first in the industry. With also being involved in affordable housing, we offer loans to affordable housing as well. In 2024, we issued the first loan to affordable housing in Zhengzhou. On the heels of that, we issued loans to affordable housing projects in Dalian, Qingdao, Xi'an, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou. In these new models, we have explored new service areas. As you mentioned, speaking of interest rates, we have seen lower interest rates in mortgage loans. The first half saw 3.11%. In Q2, it was 3.08%. We have been playing this role of stabilizing our society and property market with financial services. We took favorable measures to stop the decline of housing prices. Beijing and Shanghai governments have optimized their property policies to boost market expectation. The Central Urban Work Conference strengthened the transformation of dilapidated houses and urban villages. This will lead to more demand for good houses. We will seize the opportunities of these favorable policies so we can extend our financial services. We can help our customers in building this closed loop of financial services for especially housing loans so we can continue to strengthen our capability in this area. We expect that the performance of housing finance will be better than this year. Thank you, Mr. T. Today is Friday. We believe you have some other appointments and commitments in the evening, so we will close the Q&A session here. Thank you for your participation. The management had frank, candid, and professional communication on different topics. We hope that our presentation and answers can help you better understand our strategic initiatives, business performance, and development of CCB. If you have further questions, please feel free to get in touch with the board office and our PR department. In the end, I wish all the leaders, guests, analysts, investors, and friends from press, I wish you good health, I wish you good business, and I wish you a wonderful weekend. Thank you. This closes the press conference today.
