BEIJING (MNI) - The following are highlights from the China press for
Tuesday, Dec. 26
China's deleveraging campaign should focus next year on nonfinancial
state-owned companies, particularly "zombie" companies, to improve productivity,
Huang Yiping, an academic and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the
People's Bank of China, said in an article published Monday on the website of
the Finance40 Forum, an official think tank. The leverage ratio of state-owned
enterprises has barely changed even as the overall campaign has had unexpected
success. "Zombie" companies -- money-losing companies that rely on government
support -- exist because government guarantees are implicit. China can continue
to improve efficiency in the financial sector through curbing shadow banking,
reducing growth in the so-called M2 money supply and increasing direct funding,
Huang wrote.
China will take measures to increase consumption and stabilize foreign
trade in 2018, Commerce Minister Zhong Shan has said, the Economic Information
Daily reported Tuesday. The measures include cultivating cross-border
e-commerce, building high-level trade platforms, facilitating trade and
continuing a proactive export policy, Zhong said Monday at the National Commerce
Work Conference. By 2020, China will consolidate its place as a major trading
nation; by 2035, it will begin to become a trading power; and by 2050, it will
establish itself as wide-reaching trading power, Zhong said. During the first 11
months this year, the total volume of goods traded rose 15.6% year-on-year, the
fastest pace in six years, and exports exceeded imports in the service sector
for the first time, Zhong noted. (Economic Information Daily)
The Chinese bond market is expected to continue to be sluggish in 2018 as
liquidity conditions in the interbank market remain tight, the China Securities
Journal reported Tuesday, citing officials and economists. As of the end of the
third quarter of 2017, the average excess reserve ratio of commercial banks had
dropped to 1.3%, the lowest in six years. Banks' deposits and wealth-management
capital also have steadily declined this year. In 2018, bond yields are expected
to rise because of the effects of domestic and international factors, but the
bond market most likely will not suffer a sharp correction, like in the past two
years. (China Securities Journal)
Issuance of local government bonds is expected to grow in 2018 with a
probable surge in a newer special bond, the 21st Century Business Herald
reported Tuesday. Issuance of the special bond is predicted to reach CNY2.3
trillion next year, CNY670 billion more than in 2017, the newspaper said, citing
bond analysts. Special bond issues doubled to CNY800 billion in 2017 from 2016.
Issuance of local government bonds has shrunk this year as rates rose because of
tight financial regulation, totaling CNY4.36 trillion as of Dec. 25, compared
with CNY6.05 trillion in 2016. (21st Century Business Herald)
