42、or achieving the goals and tasks in the 14th Five-Year Plan(2021-2025).Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core,China continuously enhanced its economic strength,scientific and technological capabilities and composite national strength,and took new
43、 solid steps to promote Chinese modernisation.The year 2024 also witnessed the commencement of CITIC Banks new Three-Year Development Plan.CITIC Bank,committed to the mission of serving the real economy and enhancing peoples well-being,fully implemented the guiding principles of the 3rd plenary sess
44、ion of the 20th CPC Central Committee,the Central Economic Work Conference and the National Financial Work Conference,and held fast to our mission of serving the real economy and helping people enjoy a happy life.With a vision of becoming one of the word class bank with leading competitive edge,we d
45、evoted ourselves to the building of a bank of value and wrote a new chapter in advancing the high quality development.This past year,we held to the principles that“the higher we climb,the brighter the light”and“the further we go,the more brilliant the journey”in the face of the increasingly uncertai
46、n external environment and rapidly evolving industry ecosystem.As we strove forward,we made continual breakthroughs and exceeded ourselves.This past year,we delivered solid results:dual growth in both revenue and profit,dual excellence in loan-deposit volume and pricing,dual stability in non-perform
47、ing loans(NPL)and allowance coverage,and dual expansion in both corporate and retail customer bases.CITIC Banks image as a balanced,steady,and sustainable financial institution has become even clearer.This past year,we also received increasing recognition from external parties and the market:an upgr
48、ade in our corporate regulatory rating,a leap in our ESG rating,and global ranking improvements to 18th in tier-one capital and 19th in brand value.Our total market value growth outpaced the broader market for the third consecutive year.Our strategic planning that keeps pace with the times is what g
49、uides in creating distinct value and pursuing more.Our increasingly balanced business structure is the driving force behind our ability to generate diversified value and achieve cross-cyclical growth.Our due reverence for risks is how we staunchly guarantee lasting value and steady progress for long
50、-term success.Thanks to this solid foundation,our net profit surged from RMB50 billion to RMB60 billion over the past four years,with strong momentum toward RMB70 billion.To better share the fruits of our success with you,our investors,and express our sincere gratitude for your trust and support,we
51、plan to further increase our dividend ratio,building on the foundation of our interim dividend distribution.Looking back at this past years growth,what lies behind the numbers is the legacy and perseverance of those at CITIC Bank coupled with the never-ending advancements in our system and ability.I
52、t is this enduring commitment that drives us forward on the path to becoming a bank of enduring value and unwavering trust.We remained true to our original mission,focusing on the countrys most fundamental interests as our guiding principle for development.Over the past year,we made advancing the“Fi
53、ve Priorities”of technology finance,green finance,inclusive finance,pension finance,and digital finance our top priority,leveraging CITIC Banks capabilities to better serve the economy and improve peoples livelihoods.Our full-chain,full-lifecycle comprehensive financial service model for technology
54、finance has gained significant momentum,leading to a growth of nearly 20%in outstanding loans to technology enterprises.Our green finance ecosystem expanded and increased in quality,pushing the balance of green credit past the RMB600-billion mark for an annual growth of 31%.The professional operatio
55、n of our inclusive finance mechanism continually advanced.As the“CITIC Easy Loan”product portfolio maintained expansion,we provided service to over 300,000 micro and small businesses,covering nearly 80%of the nations economic industries.In pension finance,we upgraded our“Happiness+”service system fo
56、r the elderly,pushing the number of pension account book users to over five million.Our pension custody scale led the industry,further solidifying our industry clout.We also made remarkable strides in digital finance,with a range of tangible,impactful innovations.These included our retail customer i
57、nsight system,corporate AI digital assistant,and financial market quant trading platform,all of which provided more advanced and effective support for our business growth.72024 Annual ReportChairmans Letter to ShareholdersWe maintained firm strategic resolve with a focus on distinct development via
58、our“Five Leading”strategy.This past year,with a rise in homogeneous competition,we fully leveraged our distinctive advantages of“CITIC Synergy”,and intensely advanced our“Five Leading”strategy to become a leading bank in the five areas of wealth management,comprehensive financing,trading settlement,
59、forex service,and digitalisation,by developing distinct features.We are overjoyed to see that the scale of our wealth management reached around RMB2 trillion,growing by 15%compared with previous year.Our debt financing instrument underwriting hit a market record of RMB960 billion.The balance of our
60、trading settlements and number of active customers held steadily at the industry forefront.Our balance of payments,forex settlement and sales volume,and transnational e-commerce scale hit historical highs.Our technology investments exceeded RMB10 billion,and we deepened integration among industry,te
61、chnology,and data while conducting adept organisational transformation,whose resulting value is being rapidly unlocked.These achievements not only reflect the significant strides we have made in building a“Five Leading”bank but also represent our gradual progress in deeply cultivating the traditiona
62、l credit market,connecting to the capital market,and expanding into the international market.These are our attempts at and exploration of building a protective“moat around ourselves and a reflection of our vision and determination to stride confidently into the future.We advanced the reform and tran
63、sformation with a focus on achieving balanced development in three major areas of operation.This past year,we continued the transformation of our business structure from one of“one body with two wings”to one of“three engines jointly pushing forward”,to benefit peoples well-being with even more finan
64、cial values and enable our further diversified development at the same time.We remained firmly committed to our“retail first”strategy.Our retail customer base grew to 145 million,with assets under management(AUM)steadily rising to RMB4.69 trillion and the balance of personal mortgage loans surpassin
65、g the RMB1 trillion mark.We accelerated the reshaping of our corporate business advantages.There was rapid growth in credit for strategic emerging industries,mid-and long-term manufacturing industries business and for private enterprises,and the balance of RMB general corporate loans grew to histori
66、c highs.We deeply advanced integrated business management for interbank customers,achieving a coverage rate of over 80%among the target interbank customers,and fee-based business income from the financial markets segment again hit a new high.Thanks to years of system accumulation and capability brea
67、kthroughs,we are now gathering strong momentum for development in three business sectors alongside balanced development in quantity,pricing,quality,customer care,and efficiency.The ratio of contribution to CITIC Banks revenue by the three business sectorsthe corporate,retail,and financial marketswas
68、 about 4:4:2,which enables both proactive expansion and strategic defense,significantly enhancing our resilience to cyclical challenges.We continued to temper quality with a focus on our risk control system to promote steady development.This past year,we kept pace with changing circumstances,continu
69、ously advanced the implementation and the effectiveness of our risk management,and firmly held the risk bottom line and the positive trend.As at the end of 2024,our non-performing asset ratio was 1.16%,marking the sixth consecutive year of decline,and our allowance coverage ratio rose to more than 2
70、09%,the highest since 2013.In the face of the increasingly complex external environment,we have tirelessly boosted our consciousness of the principle that revenue is immediate,while risks are delayed and of our preference to“concession in profit to concessions in risks”.We continued to improve the r
71、isk management system featuring“effective risk control and vigorous development promotion”,persisting in achieving coordinated efforts in our“Five Policies”concerning industry research,credit policies,approval standards,marketing guidelines,and resource allocation.This integrated practice,driven by
72、concept-based guidance,system consolidation,and capability enhancement,has given us a distinct advantage in asset quality,fueling long-term value growth.It is also the key to our successful transition from the“development recovery phase”through the“capability-building phase”and into the current“stab
73、le development phase”and“competitive advancement phase.”We intensely expanded room for value enhancement with a focus on balanced quantity and pricing to pursue sustainable development.This past year,we maintained interest margin stability as the priority of our“four operation themes”,consistently d
74、riving efficiency through professional and refined management and seeing exceptional results.At the end of 2024,we had a net interest margin of 1.77%,roughly the same as the previous year,accounting for the third successive year of beating the market and strongly supporting revenue growth momentum.T
75、his accomplishment was made possible by the operational philosophy of“balancing quantity and pricing”that deeply rooted among people as well as the gradual shaping of our pricing management system and customer relationship capabilities.We made efforts in both operation and management and shifted the
76、 development towards the endogenous and intensive mode achieving constant improvement in customer loyalty,asset and liability structure as well as more advantage in interest margin.In particular,in the low-interest,low-interest-margin market environment of recent years,this direction has provided us
77、 a stronger momentum for sustainable development.China CITIC Bank Corporation Limited8Chairmans Letter to ShareholdersWeathering storms keeps one tough,and though part of the journey is complete,the road ahead is still long.Today,CITIC Bank stands at the threshold of surpassing RMB10 trillion in tot
78、al assets.We are spurring on the growth achieved while holding to a strong sense of responsibility.We deeply know that our large scale of assets is meant to build up and serve as leverage for Chinas national strategy,and that our refined management capacity is aimed at finding even better solutions
79、to meet peoples needs.In the future,we will continue to improve strategic foresight and rapidly expand into new frontiers,further integrating with CITIC Groups synergistic ecosystem to drive mutual progress.We will continue to enhance quality and efficiency and realise endogenous development through
80、 our strategy of being“capital light,asset light,and cost light”.All of our effort is aimed at finding a path from a single growth curve to a dual growth curve,combining“large yet light”efficiency reforms with“large and strong”momentum building.This will enable us to achieve breakthrough development
81、 and elevate our status as a bank of enduring value.With self-confidence,we will strive forward with assurance amid cyclical transitions.To befriend time,one needs not only passion and perseverance but also foresight and insight.At this new starting point,we will keep fostering finance culture with
82、Chinese characteristics,and achieve success through persistence in building up our system and boosting our ability.We will remain devoted to our“Five Priorities”and“Five Leading”strategy in the integrated promotion of building up the Bank,leverage collective wisdom to support strategic foresight,ena
83、ble the organizations adaptive capacity to support strategic resolve,and ensure the transmission of a well-developed strategic framework and scientific operational philosophy for generations to come.We firmly believe that by staying true to our founding mission and consistently doing what is right,w
84、hether the path is easy or difficult,we will ultimately lay the solid foundation for becoming a century-old institution.With our vision to better understand our customers,we grow and forge ahead with each of them.Empowering our customers and growing with them has always been the direction of our eff
85、orts.Today,digital and intelligent technologies have transformed us,giving wings to this journey.In the future,we will further deepen integration among industry,technology and data,and comprehensively meet the different needs and greater expectations of consumers throughout their lifecycles within t
86、he new landscape by making breakthroughs in digital and intelligent transformation of management,business and operations.In this way,we will accelerate our transition from simply responding to service demands to anticipating them,and deepen the partnership of mutual growth with customers within the
87、scenarios of serving individuals,families,enterprises and the society.We journey toward the light,co-creating value following the principle of altruism.As we grow in this era of development,we have the duty and capacity to undertake greater social responsibility.With the nations fundamental interest
88、s at heart,we actively contribute to Chinas modernization,effectively balancing functionality with profitability.We remain committed to the core purpose of financial services,further embracing ESG principles,and balancing functionality with profitability.We will continue to deliver the CITIC answer
89、that goes“beyond banking and beyond finance,”constantly exploring new possibilities through shared prosperity and co-creation.As vast as the galaxy is,so is our journey.Looking back,the strategic resolve and solid fundamentals forged through time and efforts gives us the confidence and courage to ac
