                           高质量发展与中国经济动态平衡

——中国人民银行行长潘功胜在2024金融街论坛年会上的主题演讲

(2024年10月18日)


尊敬的尹力书记、殷勇市长,尊敬的王江、云泽、吴清、傅华、鹤新同志,尊敬的各位来宾:

大家好!

很高兴参加金融街论坛。借此机会,和大家交流三个方面的情况。
一、一揽子增量货币政策的落实情况
按照中央部署,9月24日,金融管理部门宣布了一揽子支持经济稳定增长的政策,大家都很关心,也得到了各方面的支持。前天,人民银行、金融监管总局和证监会召集主要商业银行、证券和基金公司召开座谈会,就金融机构抓紧落实好一揽子政策进行了专门部署。这里我报告一下人民银行相关政策的落实情况。
降准降息方面,9月27日,已下调存款准备金率0.5个百分点,预计年底前视市场流动性情况,择机进一步下调存款准备金率0.25-0.5个百分点;下调公开市场7天期逆回购操作利率0.2个百分点;中期借贷便利利率下降0.3个百分点,从2.3%下降到2%。今天早上,商业银行已经公布下调存款利率,预计下周一(10月21日)公布的贷款市场报价利率(LPR)也会下行0.2-0.25个百分点。四项房地产金融政策已经全部发布。其中,存量房贷利率调整是中央决定的一项重要惠民生政策,惠及5000万户家庭,每年减少家庭的利息支出约1500亿元。支持资本市场稳定发展的两项金融工具,人民银行与证监会、金融监管总局组建了工作专班,证券、基金、保险公司互换便利已开始接受金融机构申请,股票回购、增持专项再贷款政策文件于今天正式发布实施。
一揽子政策发布实施以来,国内外给予了积极正面评价,有力提振了社会信心,对于促进经济金融平稳运行发挥了较好作用。我们在政策制定和形成过程中,主要有三点考虑。
第一,当前经济运行需要实施较强的宏观总量支持政策。当前经济运行中出现的情况和问题,在宏观层面上主要表现为有效需求不足,社会预期偏弱,物价低位运行等,市场普遍认为需要推出有份量的宏观政策。按照中央部署,前期人民银行作了深入研究并准备了政策预案。中央果断决策推出一揽子增量政策,体现了稳经济、稳预期、促消费、惠民生的坚定决心,市场作出了积极反应。
第二,当前经济运行中还存在一些突出矛盾和挑战,主要是房地产市场和资本市场。基于国际经验和中国过去的实践,需要出台有针对性的政策予以应对。
房地产市场方面,人民银行基于自身的职责,优化调整了四项房地产金融政策,从金融宏观审慎的角度支持房地产市场的风险化解和健康发展。
资本市场方面,人民银行会同证监会制定了助力支持资本市场稳定发展的两项工具。这两项工具是完全基于市场化原则设计的,在国际上也有成功的实践。其中,证券、基金、保险公司互换便利不是央行直接向市场提供资金支持,不会扩大央行的货币供给和基础货币的投放;央行提供的股票回购、增持再贷款资金具有特定的指向性,信贷资金不能违规进入股市仍是金融监管的一条红线。这两项工具体现了中央银行维护金融稳定职能的拓展和新的探索。我们将与证监会合作,在实践中逐步完善,探索常态化的制度安排。
第三,中央银行需要从宏观审慎管理的角度,观察、评估金融市场风险,并采取适当的措施阻断或弱化金融市场风险累积。近一段时间,人民银行就长期国债收益率运行多次与市场加强沟通,目的是遏制羊群效应导致长期国债收益率单边下行潜藏的系统性风险。金融市场高度敏感,会对各种政策和因素变化迅速作出反应和定价。从宏观和深层次角度看,实体经济和资本市场是一个相互交织、相互作用的过程,估值修复有助于资本市场发挥投融资功能,阻断市场走弱与股权质押风险的负向循环,促进上市公司健康发展,改善社会预期,提振消费和投资需求。
二、高质量发展与中国经济的动态平衡
宏观经济调控的目标侧重于短期,在于校正经济增长和经济运行的轨迹;改革和经济结构调整的目标侧重于中长期,在于实现高质量发展和经济可持续增长。
党的十八大以来,习近平总书记和党中央突出强调提高经济发展质量和效益,党的十九大明确提出我国经济已由高速增长阶段转向高质量发展阶段。高质量发展是适应中国社会主要矛盾变化的必然要求,着力解决发展不平衡不充分的问题,增强国民经济重大比例关系的协调性。
物理学中,平衡是指物体在几个力的共同作用下,保持相对稳定的状态。经济运行中的平衡则是各种经济结构和比例关系相互作用、优化调整的动态过程。这也是各国经济运行的一种普遍现象。
本世纪以来全球经济经历了三轮重要的动态平衡,中国都深入参与其中,并作出积极贡献。
一是2001~2007年,中国加入WTO后,低成本要素与全球产业分工充分融合,有效扩大全球供给、促进生产效率提升,起到了抑制全球通胀、推动经济增长的作用。
二是2008~2017年,国际金融危机以后,全球呈现低增长、低通胀、低利率、高债务的“三低一高”特征,需求走弱,中国主动作为,大力度扩大内需,起到了拉动全球经济、避免陷入通缩的作用,十年间中国对全球经济增长的贡献率稳定在30%左右。
三是疫情以来,由于供给冲击和需求侧强刺激,全球通胀一度高企,中国供应链体系保持稳定,弥补了全球供给缺口,为全球通胀回落和经济平衡持续贡献了中国力量。
中国经济自身也经历了深刻的结构调整和动态平衡过程。近年来,中国通过深化供给侧结构性改革、加快构建新发展格局等战略举措,持续推动经济增长模式从传统的经济高速增长导向转向创新驱动型和质量效益型。供给质量和效率不断提高,高技术制造业增加值占比稳步提升。消费的作用持续增强,消费、投资、净出口三大需求占GDP比重由2010年的49%、47%、4%,调整为2023年的56%、42%、2%。
为促进经济高质量发展和可持续增长,在经济运行中,需要把握好三个方面的动态平衡。
一是经济增速和经济增长质量的动态平衡。中国巨大的经济体量需要保持合理的经济增速,带动就业、增加居民收入。经济发展模式转型、经济结构调整短期内可能会对经济增长产生一定影响,需要我们把握好动态平衡,着力培育经济增长新动能,推动经济实现质的有效提升和量的合理增长。
二是经济增长中内部和外部的动态平衡。近些年来,中国经济外部平衡得到有效改善,中国经常项目顺差占GDP的比重,已从2007年的10%左右下降到2011年的2%左右,这些年来这一指标一直处于1%~2%的国际公认合理区间。当前,国际地缘政治局势紧张,导致经济逆全球化、国际贸易政治化和工具化,阻碍了全球经济可持续增长和全球福利增加。我们倡导自由贸易和公平竞争,坚持扩大双向开放,更好利用国际国内两个市场、两种资源,不断提升中国企业国际竞争力,加快构建新发展格局。
三是投资和消费的动态平衡。在历史上的历次经济周期中,我们主要依靠扩大投资、保存供给侧产能来对抗经济下行压力,发挥了重要的积极作用。在高质量发展阶段,投资需要根据经济结构调整的方向有增有减,更多投向科技创新、基本民生等领域。我们要坚持以人民为中心的发展思想,着力增加居民收入,优化财政支出结构,完善社会保障体系,促进扩大消费,形成“政府培育消费,消费激活市场,市场引领企业,企业扩大投资”的良性循环。
实现经济的动态平衡,需要把握好几个重点。一是宏观经济政策的作用方向应从过去的更多偏向投资,转向消费与投资并重,并更加重视消费。二是更好处理政府与市场的关系,科学把握和平衡政府与市场的边界,提高政策与市场关切的交集度和针对性。三是进一步深化改革开放,营造良好的法治经济环境,创造更加公平、更有活力的市场环境。
三、中央银行在服务经济高质量发展中发挥积极作用
人民银行既是金融管理部门,也是宏观经济管理部门。我们将聚焦服务高质量发展这一首要任务,加强货币政策和宏观审慎政策逆周期调控力度,提升金融支持政策的精准性、有效性,为经济稳定增长、结构调整创造良好的货币金融环境,稳步扩大金融高水平开放,促进经济动态平衡。
一是进一步健全货币政策框架。这方面的考虑,我在6月份的陆家嘴论坛上已作了比较系统的阐述,这里再强调几点。目标体系方面,将把促进物价合理回升作为重要考量,更加注重发挥利率等价格型调控工具的作用。执行机制方面,会持续丰富货币政策工具箱,发挥好结构性货币政策工具作用,在公开市场操作中逐步增加国债买卖。人民银行已与财政部建立了联合工作组,不断优化相关制度安排。传导机制方面,要不断提高货币政策的透明度,提升金融机构的自主理性定价能力,增强与财政、产业、监管等政策取向的一致性,进一步提升货币政策的传导效率。
二是提升金融服务对经济结构调整、经济动态平衡的适配性和精准性。进一步加强宏观信贷管理,持续做好金融“五篇大文章”,切实加强对重大战略、重点领域和薄弱环节的优质金融服务。持续建设规范、透明、开放、有活力、有韧性的金融市场,支持发展多元化融资渠道。
推进高质量发展离不开科技创新。现代科技创新投资周期长、资金量大,风险和不确定程度高,金融服务需求多元。特别是种子期、初创期企业更多依赖股权融资,积极、活跃的私募股权投资(PE)、风险投资(VC)是非常重要的参与者。人民银行将加强与有关部门沟通协作,完善金融支持科技创新政策体系,着力培育支持科技创新的金融市场生态,持续提升金融支持科技创新的能力、强度和水平。
三是健全宏观审慎政策框架和系统性金融风险防范处置机制。人民银行将立足宏观视角,着力把握好经济增长、经济结构调整、金融风险防范之间的动态平衡,完善金融风险监测、预警和处置体系,强化金融稳定保障体系。密切关注经济金融运行,及时加强逆周期调节,防范化解系统性金融风险隐患。
四是建设更高水平开放型金融新体制。稳步推进金融服务业和金融市场制度型开放,拓展境内外金融市场互联互通,促进贸易和投融资便利化。坚持以市场驱动和自主选择为基础,稳慎扎实推进人民币国际化。积极参与全球经济金融治理与合作,促进中国和全球经济平衡、可持续发展。

最后,预祝本届论坛圆满成功,谢谢大家!



High Quality development and the Dynamic equilibrium of the Chinese economy


Pan gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, delivers a keynote speech at the 2024 Financial Street Forum


(202418 October) 




Your Excellency Secretary Yin Li, Your Excellency Mayor Yin Yong, your excellency comrade Wang Jiang, Ulanhu, Wu Qing, Fu Hua and hexin, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

hello!


It's a pleasure to attend the Financial Street Forum. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you three aspects of the situation.

I. Implementation of the package of incremental monetary policies

In line with the central plan, on September 24, the Financial Regulatory Authority announced a package of policies to support stable economic growth, which was of great concern to everyone and received support from all quarters. The day before yesterday, the People's Bank of China, the general administration of financial supervision and the Securities Regulatory Commission convened a symposium with major commercial banks, securities and fund companies to make special arrangements for financial institutions to implement a good package of policies. Here I report on the implementation of the relevant policies of the People's Bank of China.

On 27 September, the reserve requirement rate was cut by 0.5 percentage point. It is expected that the market liquidity conditions will be reserve requirement before the end of the year and further cut by 0.25-0.5 percentage point The open market seven-day reverse repo rate was cut by 0.2 percentage points and the medium-term lending facility rate was cut by 0.3 percentage points to 2 percent from 2.3 percent. This morning, commercial banks have announced a reduction in deposit rates, is expected next Monday (10.21) announced the loan market quotation rate (LPR) will be 0.2-0.25 percent lower. All four real estate financial policies have been announced. Among them, the adjustment of mortgage interest rates is an important policy decided by the central government to benefit the People's livelihood, benefiting 50 million households and reducing the annual interest expenditure of households by about 150 billion yuan. To support the stable development of the capital market, the People's Bank of China has set up a special working class with the Securities and Futures Commission and the State Administration of financial supervision, and the exchange facilities for securities, funds and insurance companies have started to accept applications from financial institutions, stock repurchase, increased holdings of special re-loan policy documents were officially released and implemented today.

Since the policy package was issued and implemented, positive comments have been made both at home and abroad, which has strongly boosted social confidence and played a better role in promoting the smooth operation of economy and finance. In the process of policy making and formation, we have three main considerations.

First, the current economic operation needs to implement a strong macro-aggregate support policy. The current situation and problems in the economic operation are mainly manifested in the lack of effective demand, weak social expectations, low prices and so on. In accordance with the central deployment, the People's Bank of China has made in-depth studies and prepared policy proposals in the early stage. The central government has decisively introduced a package of incremental policies, reflecting the firm determination to stabilize the economy, stabilize expectations, promote consumption and improve people's livelihood. The market has responded positively.

Second, there are still some outstanding contradictions and challenges in the current economic operation, mainly the real estate market and the capital market. Based on international experience and China's past practice, there is a need for targeted policy responses.

In the real estate market, the People's Bank of China optimizes and adjusts four real estate financial policies based on its own responsibilities, and supports the risk mitigation and healthy development of the real estate market from the financial macro-prudential perspective.

On the capital market, the People's Bank of China and the Securities Regulatory Commission have formulated two tools to help support the stable development of the capital market. These two tools are based on market principles and have been successfully implemented internationally. Among them, securities, funds, insurance companies swap facilities are not the central bank to provide direct financial support to the market, will not expand the central bank's money supply and base money; The funds provided by the central bank for stock repurchase and refinancing are specific, and it is still a red line for financial supervision that the credit funds can not illegally enter the stock market. These two tools embody the expansion and new exploration of the central bank's function of maintaining financial stability. We will work with the CSRC to improve the system in practice and explore regularized arrangements.

Third, the central bank needs to observe and assess financial market risks from a macro-prudential management perspective and take appropriate measures to prevent or mitigate the accumulation of financial market risks. Recently, the People's Bank of China has been strengthening communication with the market on the operation of long-term treasury bond yields in order to curb the systematic risk that the herding effect causes the long-term treasury bond yields to go down unilaterally. Financial markets are highly sensitive and respond and price quickly to changes in policies and factors. From a macro and deep perspective, the real economy and the capital market are an interwoven and interactive process, and valuation repair helps the capital market to play the role of investment and financing, it can break the negative cycle of market weakening and equity pledge risk, promote the healthy development of listed companies, improve social expectation, and boost consumption and investment demand.

Quality development and the Dynamic equilibrium of the Chinese economy

The objective of macroeconomic regulation is to focus on the short term and to correct the trajectory of economic growth and performance; the objective of reform and economic restructuring is to focus on the medium to long term and to achieve high-quality development and sustainable economic growth.


In physics, balance means that a body remains relatively stable under the combined action of several forces. The balance in economic operation is a dynamic process of interaction, optimization and adjustment of various economic structures and proportional relations. This is also a common phenomenon in the economic operation of various countries.

The global economy has gone through three major Dynamic equilibrium in the 2000s, in which China has been deeply involved and actively contributing.

First, from 2001 to 2007, after China's accession to the WTO, low-cost factors were fully integrated with the global industrial division, effectively expanding global supply and promoting production efficiency, it has acted as a brake on global inflation and a catalyst for economic growth.

Second, from 2008 to 2017, after the international financial crisis, the global economy was characterized by low growth, low inflation, low interest rates and high debt. Demand weakened, and China took the initiative to expand domestic demand, china's contribution to global growth has remained steady at about 30 per cent for a decade, helping to keep the global economy from sliding into deflation.

Third, since the outbreak, global inflation was once high due to supply shocks and strong demand-side stimulus, and China's supply chain system has remained stable, making up for the global supply gap, china has contributed to the fall in global inflation and continued economic balance.

The Chinese economy itself has undergone profound structural adjustment and Dynamic equilibrium. In recent years, China has adopted strategic measures such as deepening supply-side structural reform and accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, we will continue to shift the economic growth model from the traditional high-speed economic growth orientation to the innovation-driven and quality-benefit model. The quality and efficiency of supply are constantly improving, and the proportion of added value of high-tech manufacturing industry is steadily increasing. The role of consumption continues to grow, with consumption, investment and net exports accounting for 56% , 42% and 2% of GDP respectively, up from 49% , 47% and 4% in 2010,2023.

In order to promote high-quality economic development and sustainable growth, we need to grasp the Dynamic equilibrium of three aspects in economic operation.

One is the Dynamic equilibrium between the speed and quality of economic growth. China's huge economy needs to maintain a reasonable economic growth rate, drive employment, increase income. Economic growth may be affected in the short term by the transformation of the economic development model and the adjustment of the economic structure. We need to Dynamic equilibrium our efforts to foster new drivers of economic growth, we will promote effective qualitative and quantitative growth of the economy.

The second is the internal and external Dynamic equilibrium of economic growth. In recent years, the external balance of China's economy has been effectively improved. China's current account surplus as a percentage of GDP has fallen from about 10% in 2007 to about 2% in 2011, over the years, this indicator has been in 1% -2% of the internationally recognized reasonable range. The current tense international geopolitical situation has led to the anti-globalization of the economy and the politicization and instrumentalization of international trade, hindering the sustainable growth of the global economy and the increase of global welfare. We Advocate Free Trade and fair competition, continue to expand two-way opening-up, make better use of both domestic and international markets and resources, enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese Enterprises, and accelerate the building of a new development pattern.

The third is the Dynamic equilibrium between investment and consumption. In every economic cycle in history, we mainly rely on expanding investment and preserving supply-side production capacity to counter the downward pressure on the economy, playing an important positive role. At the stage of high-quality development, investment needs to increase and decrease in accordance with the direction of economic restructuring, and more to science and technology innovation, Basic People's livelihood and other areas. We should adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, work hard to increase people's income, optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure, improve the social security system, and promote greater consumption, form a“Government to cultivate consumption, consumption to activate the market, market-led enterprises, enterprises to expand investment” virtuous circle.

Achieving economic Dynamic equilibrium requires several priorities. First, the role of macroeconomic policy should be directed away from the past more investment-oriented, to both consumption and investment, and more emphasis on consumption. Second, better handle the relationship between the government and the market, a scientific grasp and balance between the government and the market boundary, improve the intersection of policy and market concerns and targeted. Third, we will deepen reform and opening-up, create a sound economic environment governed by law and create a fairer and more dynamic market environment.

3. The central bank plays an active role in serving the high-quality development of the economy

The People's Bank of China is not only a financial management department, but also a macro-economic management department. We will focus on the primary task of serving quality development, strengthen counter-cyclical monetary and macro-prudential policies, and enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of financial support policies, to create a sound monetary and financial environment for steady economic growth and structural adjustment, steadily expand high-level financial opening, and promote economic Dynamic equilibrium.

First, we will further improve the monetary policy framework. I have laid out these considerations more systematically at the Lujiazui Forum in June, and I would like to stress a few more points. In terms of the target system, we will take the promotion of reasonable price recovery as an important consideration and pay more attention to the role of interest rate and other price-based regulatory tools. On the implementation mechanism, we will continue to enrich the monetary policy toolbox, give full play to the role of structural monetary policy tools, and gradually increase the trading of sovereign bonds in open market operations. The People's Bank of China has established a joint working group with the Ministry of Finance to continuously optimize the relevant institutional arrangements. As for the transmission mechanism, it is necessary to continuously improve the transparency of monetary policy, enhance the independent and rational pricing ability of financial institutions, and enhance the consistency with the policy orientations of finance, industry and supervision, to further enhance the transmission efficiency of monetary policy.

Second, enhancing the adaptability and accuracy of financial services to economic restructuring and Dynamic equilibrium. We will further strengthen macro-credit management, continue to write five major financial articles, and effectively improve quality financial services for major strategies, key areas, and weak links. We will continue to develop a standardized, transparent, open, dynamic and resilient financial market and support the development of diversified financing channels.

High-quality development can not be achieved without scientific and technological innovation. Modern science and technology innovation investment cycle is long, large capital, high risk and uncertainty, the demand for financial services is diverse. Especially, the seed stage and the start-up stage are more dependent on equity financing. Active Private Equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) are very important participants. The People's Bank of China will strengthen communication and collaboration with relevant departments, improve the policy system of financial support for scientific and technological innovation, and focus on fostering a financial market ecology that supports scientific and technological innovation, we will continue to raise the capability, intensity and level of financial support for scientific and technological innovation.

Third, we will improve the macro-prudential policy framework and the mechanism for preventing and dealing with systemic financial risks. Based on a macro perspective, the people's Bank of China will strive to grasp the Dynamic equilibrium between economic growth, economic restructuring and financial risk prevention, and improve the financial risk monitoring, early warning and resolution system, strengthening the financial stability protection system. We will pay close attention to economic and financial operations, strengthen counter-cyclical regulation in a timely manner, and guard against and defuse potential systemic financial risks.

Fourth, build a new system of higher-level open finance. We will steadily advance institutional opening of the financial services industry and financial markets, expand financial market connectivity at home and abroad, and promote trade, investment and financing facilitation. We will proceed steadily and steadily on the basis of market-driven and self-selecting Internationalization of the Renminbi. We will actively participate in global economic and financial governance and cooperation to promote balanced and sustainable development of China and the global economy.

Finally, I wish this forum a complete success, thank you!

中国房地产泡沫早有警示信号,为何无人悬崖勒马? - 华尔街日报

纽约对冲基金经理奎林(Parker Quillen)在中国北方参观一个名为天津环亚国际(Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan)的华丽新项目时,他想知道开发商究竟会用何种方式吸引客户。 该项目的公寓起价为100万美元,此外,还计划建造一座比帝国大厦还高大的写字楼、一座歌剧院以及若干购物中心和酒店。项目总面积将超过摩纳哥的土地面积。 有吸引买家的计划吗?奎林问道。带他参观的营销代理回答说,马球。 奎林记得那人答道:“正是。” 这位营销人员当时身着马球服,带着奎林穿过一个内有100多匹马球马的马厩。奎林询问了环亚的创始人是否对该项目进行过可行性研究。该营销人员说不知道。这名创始人是一位靠销售电脑显示器致富的亿万富翁马球爱好者。 奎林说:“然后我就明白了,这个项目的想法是,国际高管会来到天津,在这里设立公司总部,理由是他们喜欢马球。”他表示:“我当时想,天哪。” 回到纽约后,奎林将更多资金投入到对中国房地产类股的做空押注中。 那是2016年,正是中国房地产热潮刚刚兴起的大好时光。即便在那时,对于任何一个有心观察的人来说,真相都显而易见: 这股热潮已经变成泡沫——而且很可能会以非常糟糕的结局收场。 然而,泡沫继续恶化,因为没有人希望盛宴终结。中国的开发商、购房者、房地产中介,甚至是为这场繁荣提供资金支持的华尔街银行,都忽视了警示信号。 开发商在投行人士和律师的帮助下,想方设法掩盖他们背负的债务金额。购房者虽然怀疑房地产市场过度膨胀,但还是在继续买房。寻求丰厚回报的中外投资者为开发商提供了大量资金。 大家当时都有一个似乎无懈可击的假设,即中国政府绝不会允许房地产市场崩溃。中国人把大部分财富都投资在了住房上。如果允许楼市暴跌,民众的大部分积蓄可能会化为乌有,对共产党的信心也会涣散。 现在,中国正为没有及早采取行动控制这一切付出代价。 目前已有50多家中国开发商拖欠国际债务。专注中国房地产的民间智库可研(Keyan)称,约有50万人失去了工作。全中国约有2,000万套住宅尚未完工,估计需要4,400亿美元才能完工。 3月份,中国主要城市二手房价格下跌5.9%。地方政府由于失去了向开发商出售土地的收入,在偿还债务方面面临困难。随着房地产和相关行业对经济增长的拖累加大,整体经济变得脆弱。房地产和相关行业一度占到中国国内生产总值的25%左右。 “一文不值” 2016年,

数千亿美元资金如何绕开管制逃离中国 - WSJ

  经济学家和《华尔街日报》(The Wall Street Journal) 的一项数据分析显示,过去几年中国资本外逃规模似乎令 2015 年和 2016 年相形见绌,那时的中国正遭遇着上一轮房地产市场低迷,引发了以美元计价的最大的一波资本外流。 《华尔街日报》的统计显示,在截至今年 6 月底的四个季度里,可能有多达 2,540 亿美元的资金非法流出中国。这超过了近 10 年前的那波资本外逃,当时的资金外流曾引发人们对中国可能爆发金融危机的担忧。但对这类资金外流的估计本身并不精确,而且,由于现在中国整体经济规模比当时大得多,资本外逃占中国经济总量的比例似乎也小于当时。 一些没有被统计在内的资金可能包括滞留在海外的出口收入,这些资金没有被带回中国,而是留在海外享受更高的存款利率和投资机会。 即便如此,这种现象对中国决策者来说仍值得担忧。在中国官员专注于严格管理人民币汇率之际,资本外流加大了人民币的压力,不过中国政府近期为刺激经济而采取的措施正在提振人民币和中国股市,可能会促使人们暂时将更多资金留在中国。 大批资本逃离也突显出一个事实,那些有资源,有财力,能把资金带出国门的人,对中国经济的发展道路越来越没有信心。 心灰意冷的投资者 为了绕开政府管制,人们用上了各种老办法,比如将贵重物品运往海外,或是为进口商品支付过高的价格,这些办法屡试不爽,但依然要冒风险。还有一些人想出了新点子,比如将装载着加密货币的电脑硬盘运往其他司法辖区,并在那里兑换成现金。 造成资金外流的原因包括新冠疫情,政府对民营部门的打击,以及人们广泛担心中国的高速增长时代已经结束。 国际货币基金组织 (International Monetary Fund, 简称 IMF) 数据显示,到本十年末,中国经济增速预计将从目前的 5% 左右放缓至 3% 左右,而 2020 年以前的增长率接近 7%。据巴克莱 (Barclays) 估计,2021 年以来,中国史诗级的房地产市场崩盘估计已导致约 18 万亿美元的家庭财富灰飞烟灭。 尽管中国政府最近出台的刺激措施(包括承诺加大财政支出)可能在一定程度上提振今年的经济增长,但现在断言这些措施能否带动经济持续复苏为时过早。 从长远来看,中国面临劳动力老龄化和萎缩带来的严峻挑战,而在贸易、安全和技术等一系列问题上,中国与美国领导的西方世界也陷入冲突。 中国官员试图用被抓

2023年8月,中国资本外流 490 亿美元,创 2015 年以来之最,因为经济萎靡迫使投资者纷纷撤离。 彭博社汇编的国家外汇管理局数据显示,其中290亿美元流出证券投资。 上个月,外国投资者抛售了 120 亿美元的内地上市股票,创下历史新高,同时还抛售了中国债券。8 月份还出现了 168 亿美元的直接投资逆差,为 2016 年以来最严重的一次。 据彭博社报道,旅游旺季也使资本账户的下降更为严重,出境游给中国的服务业造成了损失。由于中国的入境游尚未恢复到以前的水平,服务贸易继续出现逆差。 中国上一次面临如此规模的资金外流是在 2015 年市场因货币意外贬值而陷入困境的时候。 在当前资本外流的情况下,中国政府采取了一些措施来支撑人民币,比如削减银行必须持有的外汇数量。   尽管如此,中国的离岸人民币(即在国外市场使用的自由流通货币)仍出现了大幅下跌。出口疲软和美国收益率日益增长的吸引力也助推人民币在 9 月份跌至 16 个月来的最低点。

中国股市迎来牛市,投资者该买哪些股票?

WSJ: 短短10天,中国股市就从乏人问津变成了今年表现最佳的市场,香港金融服务公司Gavekal的负责人Louis-Vincent Gave认为中国牛市已开启。 周三上午,iShares安硕MSCI中国ETF上涨6%,至55.67美元。过去两周,该基金累计上涨35%,此前中国政府各部门协同推出了一系列措施来稳定经济,包括进一步降息,对六家最大银行进行资本重组以应对房地产危机导致的债务上升压力,以及承诺推出更多刺激措施。 部分刺激措施的规模和范围细节尚未披露,因此未来几周市场可能会出现一些波动,具体取决于中国政府公布的信息。尽管中国经济仍面临结构性挑战,家庭和企业信心遭受重创可能需要一段时间才能恢复,但投资者往往会在情况从极度糟糕变成只是糟糕时赚得盆满钵满,尤其是在大多数人此前出于地缘政治和经济担忧而避开中国市场的情况下。中国政府现在至少表现出了要解决国内经济问题的意图,这是一个值得注意的转变。“我们看到(投资者的)看法发生了变化,”资深亚洲观察人士Gave在一个网络研讨会上表示。“中国已经进入牛市。当牛市启动时,它们会自行加强势头。” 中国市场容易出现五年一次的牛熊交替周期,牛市期间通常会有100%的涨幅,Gave认为最近的上涨就是这样一个周期的开始。在这种势头的背后,是股市背景的180度大转弯,从一系列指标看,中国股票都被严重低估。糟糕的势头、政策逆风和人民币疲软等许多负面因素都已逆转。 “你现在不投资,什么时候投资?”Gave说。“股价低,势头好,现在政府又助一臂之力。这构成三重有利局面。” Gave之所以感到乐观,部分源于美联储在中国政府采取刺激行动之前就已降息。这一转变改变了汇率动态,也改变了许多中国企业家和其他人在香港或其他地方持有美元的理由。 那些在香港持有美元、在美联储降息前赚取5%利息的人,换算成人民币的回报率曾接近8%至10%,因为人民币此前一直在贬值。但由于美联储降息,上述计算已发生足够大的变化,这些投资者现在正寻找其他地方投资,比如中国股市——如果不在内地,就在香港。这种买盘为中国股市的暴涨提供了一定助力。 Gave表示,近年来,中国政府决定整顿房地产市场和民营部门,虽然一些人认为这样的行动是政策失误,但这原本可能是解决中国自身弱点的一项更广泛计划的一部分。他指出,随着美中关系恶化,中国债务水平不断上升,社会不平等加剧,还有对西方存在过度依赖
