On November 19, financial news reported that Ping An Bank Co., Ltd. released investor relations management information. According to the bank's investor activity records, as of the end of September 2025, its corporate real estate loan balance stood at CNY 226.991 billion, a decrease of CNY 18.228 billion from the end of the previous year.

Breakdowns include: - Real estate development loans totaled CNY 70.207 billion, accounting for 2.1% of the total principal of loans and advances. All loans are secured with effective collateral, with an average collateralization rate of 40.4%. About 97.6% of these loans are distributed in urban areas of first- and second-tier cities, as well as the Greater Bay Area and Yangtze River Delta regions. - Operating property loans, M&A loans, and others amounted to CNY 156.784 billion, primarily backed by mature properties, with an average collateralization rate of 54.8%. Approximately 91.0% of these loans are concentrated in urban areas of first- and second-tier cities, the Greater Bay Area, and the Yangtze River Delta.

Ping An Bank stated that as of the end of September 2025, the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio for its corporate real estate loans was 2.20%, up 0.41 percentage points from the end of the previous year. The increase was mainly attributed to external market conditions, as the real estate sector continues its stabilization process amid prolonged sales cycles and liquidity pressures for some developers. The bank emphasized that it has prudently set aside provisions, ensuring overall risk remains controllable.
