新界東北發展計劃一波三折，迷你倉出租港府月前推出加強版終極方案，擺出決心推動新界東北發展姿態。然而，隨�當局公布環評報告諮詢公眾意見，又掀起新一輪爭議，而且隱伏司法覆核危機。香港發展大計一味蹉跎歲月，綜合競爭力持續減弱，不是被舊競爭對手新加坡拋離，就是遭新對手上海跨越，遲早難逃邊緣化命運。環境諮詢委員會轄下環評小組舉行會議，審議新界東北發展和河套區環評報告，數十名受影響村民及環保團體分別到場抗議，批評當局提交的環評報告不完整和不全面，市民亦需要更多時間理解諮詢文件，要求把諮詢期由現時一個月延長至三個月；環保團體則對河套區的環評報告表示不滿，聲言不排除提出司法覆核。新界東北發展牽動各方利益，受到村民、關注團體等持份者反對不足為奇，當局也要按法定程序進行諮詢。可惜證諸近年港府推動基建發展的經驗，一旦展開諮詢程序，反對聲音此起彼落，始終無法擺脫研究復研究、諮詢復諮詢的議而不決宿命，當局無力擺平各方利益，平息紛爭，還要面對連綿不斷的司法覆核狙擊，過去的中環灣仔繞道填海工程、港珠澳大橋工程和石鼓洲焚化爐等多個項目，都因為持份者興訟延誤工程，新界東北發展恐怕也將落入同一窠臼，當局拓土建屋長遠解決房屋問題好夢難圓。同樣地少儲存倉多的新加坡，近年也是透過填海和改變土地用途取得發展用地，堪稱大展鴻圖，新加坡政府公布新發展藍圖，將會透過擴建機場、興建第四條跑道、遷移空軍基地和港口等計劃，釋出大片土地發展商住混合區，又將會改革房屋、教育及醫療制度，讓新一代及早置業，提高國民生活質素。新加坡做得到，香港做不到，新加坡發展一日千里，香港總是寸步難移，對比鮮明，說到底就是管治能力的差別。以填海拓土為例，新加坡近年取得的土地面積遠高於香港，而且獲得主流民意認同，鮮有聽聞反對聲音。反觀香港，並非無地可用，而是有地動不得，縱然當局「寸土必爭」的口號喊破喉嚨，始終無法掙破重重阻力。新加坡政府是真正的強勢管治，行政主導，說到做到，而港府管治弱不禁風，施政處處受到挑戰，能說不能做。土地是發展之母，新加坡近年經濟發展步上新台階，旅遊業形成新產業支柱，拓土有成功不可沒。曾幾何時，香港與新加坡這兩條亞洲小龍，在上世紀七、八十年代雙雙創造經濟奇�，近年發展可謂天淵之別，香港社會陷於政爭內耗，沒有人關心長遠發展，面對上海雄心勃勃推動自貿區同樣表現冷漠，全無半點將被取代危機感。上海努力迎頭趕上，早已超越的新加坡則愈跑愈遠，前門拒虎，後門進狼，堪為香港當前困境寫照。迷你倉沙田

藝穗會在七、八月到學校及長者服務機構進行戲劇故事巡演期間，新蒲崗迷你倉應邀到盧家大屋為家長及其子女、遊客作了四次的專場演出。演出形式新穎、目標明確，收到了預期的演出效果：活化具歷史特色的民居大宅，豐富市民大�的精神生活，為本地語言藝術愛好者增添了在不同場合的演出機會。 盧家大屋與鄭家大屋分別是昔日本地富商盧九與文人政治家鄭觀應的住所，氣宇非凡，極具兩三百年前豪宅的風采與特色。經修葺開放後，吸引不少遊客到訪。 兩座對外開放的大宅，氣氛與一般的博物館無異，很靜。不同之處卻是：博物館是現代建築展品（實物、圖片、文件）十分豐富，而盧、鄭兩家大屋卻只是兩幢修舊如舊的古老民居，藏品甚少。對西方遊客而言，屋內、屋外的樑、柱、牌匾、浮雕等等都很有新鮮感，很具吸引力，但對來自海峽兩岸的遊客來說，早已司空見慣。 如何把盧、鄭兩家大屋“活化”是有關當局積極面對的課題。 年前，筆者被邀到兩所大屋參觀，與主人談及一些“活化”的具體內容時，彼此都有這麼的一個共識：內容上必須與“澳門製造”有關mini storage例如說：大廳可用作本地藝術愛好者的繪畫、攝影、美勞製作的展覽廳，作品定期更換；較小的廳房安放座椅，讓遊客坐下小休時，現場作一些本澳音樂或舞蹈比賽及醒獅舞、醉龍舞的錄像重播；本澳昔日的製造業如神香、炮竹、珠繡等，對外地甚至是本地的年輕一代的訪者而言，只能算是幾個頗陌生的詞彙，如果能邀請到一些長者現場製作示範或錄像重播，參觀者定會感到耳目一新、上了一堂�貴的歷史課。 沒想到，當日“理所當然”的建議，竟然能得到了一點積極的回應。此次的戲劇故事專場，算是“活化”盧、鄭兩家大屋活動的“突破”，成績如何，相信會得到客觀中肯的評核（其中一場主辦機構設有現場觀�問卷調查）。 四次的專場演出結束了，若要我作點總結、評論的話，我會毫不猶豫地指出：一、此類半露天的演出，不宜在酷熱的天氣下進行，秋天最理想；二、宣傳不足，來日的“活化”活動應在遊客指南中有所介紹；三、起著鼓勵、評核與監管作用的圈內人的評論未見在傳媒上出現。這是如今本澳戲劇演出後常見的現象，不能不說是一種“悲哀”。 周樹利 self storage

To learn more visit bit.ly/pitchroom.Brewing Dreams in DenverIn addition to speed coaching and sales pitch advice, Brewing the American Dream is also impacting Denver-area businesses through its microlending. In partnership with Accion, the nation's largest non-profit microlender, in just two years, it has provided loans to 10 small businesses in Colorado, including three craft breweries. The growing list of recipients includes Chris Dutton and Will Boggs of Front Range Brewing Company and James Howe of Jamaica Me Hungry:-- Front Range Brewing Company - Friends Chris Dutton and Will Boggs were homebrewers working in the software industry when they decided to pursue their passion for craft beer full-time. They received a traditional loan, but it still fell short of the necessary capital to open their first brewery. Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream provided Dutton and Boggs an additional $18,000 in microfinancing to help them successfully launch Front Range Brewing Company, which is fast becoming a favorite spot for Coloradans seeking full flavored beer made from local ingredients. -- Jamaica Me Hungry - James Howe, founder of Jamaica Me Hungry, ran into multiple obstacles when trying to launch his Caribbean food service company. Traditional lenders referred Howe to Accion not only due to his limited credit history, but also because he wanted a modest sum of money, a request that can be difficult for traditional lenders to accommodate. Howe was able to turn to Brewing the American Dream for a $10,000 loan to cover event registration fees to setup his booth and sell his island fare. In the near future, he plans to open his first brick and mortar restaurant."Brewing the American Dream advances our local small businesses by providing access to essential resources: mentorship, training and financing; three key ingredients to promote growth and success," Accion New Mexico - Arizona - Colorado President and CEO Anne Haines Yatskowitz said.Inspiration and ImpactSamuel Adams founder Jim Koch created the Brewing the American Dream program to help other small business owners in food, beverag新蒲崗迷你倉 and hospitality overcome the same obstacles he faced when he wanted to go from brewing Sam Adams in his kitchen nearly 30 years ago to turning his passion into a business - that is, access to financing and nuts-and-bolts business advice."I didn't know how to make a sales call and secure any customers," Koch said. "By offering speed coaching events in Denver and around the country, we provide fellow entrepreneurs with the real-world business advice that's critical for success and often hard to find."Since its creation in 2008, the Brewing the American Dream program, in partnership with nonprofit microlender Accion, has provided nearly $2.5 million in microloans to more than 280 small businesses nationwide, coached 3,000-plus professionals, and created or saved more than 1,800 jobs.For more information about the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program, please visit btad.samueladams.com/.Samuel Adams, Sam Adams, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, and Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream are registered trademarks of The Boston Beer Company.About The Boston Beer CompanyThe Boston Beer Company began in 1984 with a generations-old family recipe that Founder and Brewer Jim Koch uncovered in his father's attic. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life in his kitchen. Pleased with the results of his work, Jim decided to sample his beer with bars in Boston in the hopes that drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavored beer he brewed fresh in America. That beer was aptly named Samuel Adams Boston Lager, in recognition of one of our nation's great founding fathers, a man of independent mind and spirit. Little did Jim know at the time, Samuel Adams Boston Lager soon became a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution.Today, The Boston Beer Company brews more than 50 styles of beer. It relentlessly pursues the development of new styles and the perfection of classic beers by searching the world for the finest ingredients. Using the traditional four vessel brewing process, the Company often takes extra steps like dry-hopping, barrel-aging and a secondary fermentation known as krausening. The Company has also pioneered another revolution, the 'extreme beer' movement, where it seeks to challenge drinker's perceptions of what beer can be. The Boston Beer Company has been committed to elevating the image of American craft beer by entering festivals and competitions around the globe, and in the past five years has won more awards in international beer competitions than any other brewery in the world. As an independent company, brewing quality beer remains its single focus. Although Samuel Adams(R) beer is America's largest-selling craft beer, it accounts for only one percent of the U.S. beer market. The Boston Beer Company will continue its independently-minded quest to brew great beer and to advocate for the growth of craft beer across America.

On behalf of the Airport Authority Hong Kong I am replying to the letter by Dora Li (“Airport suffers under rival masters”, August 10).迷你倉出租Wholly owned by the Hong Kong government, the authority is a statutory organisation responsible for operating Hong Kong International Airport according to prudent commercial principles.The expansion of the airport into a three-runway system is critical to Hong Kong because our city is facing an increasingly pressing need to meet growing demand for aviation services. The present traffic volumes have outpaced the airport Master Plan 2030 forecasts by one to three years, and it will reach saturation possibly around 2017-18.Contrary to what Ms Li said, the airport pays about 80 per cent of its profits to the government. Since fiscal year 2003/04, the airport has paid the government more than HK$30 billion in dividends or as return of capital.Profits retained are used to operate the airport and maintain its high standards of safety, security, efficiency and customer service while meeting Hong Kong’s rising air traffic demands. For example, the authority is now investing over HK$12 billion to build 48 aircraft parking stands and a passenger concourse that can handle 10 million passengers a year. Target for commissioning in phases before end-20儲存倉5, these facilities are being funded by the authority’s profits. Since the opening of the airport at Chek Lap Kok, the authority has reinvested over HK$30 billion into expanding facilities to meet growing traffic demand and keep the high operating standard.The opening of Terminal 2 in 2007 is another case in point. Apart from providing check-in services for over 25 airlines, it also serves as the multi-modal, cross-boundary hub to and from the Pearl River Delta by land and by sea. Since 2007, over 25 million passengers have used the cross-boundary services at the airport. Operationally, we strive for efficiency. Of the 65,000 workforce on the airport island, only about 1,300 are authority staff. To retain top-quality people, we benchmark our remuneration against comparable organisations in Hong Kong.The authority works closely with all business partners and government departments serving at the airport, including the Civil Aviation Department. We share the same mission to strengthen Hong Kong as a centre of international and regional aviation. We will continue working hand in hand to ensure the airport’s sustainable development and contribute to the economic betterment and competitiveness of Hong Kong.Stephanie Li, chief communication officer, Airport Authority Hong Kong迷你倉沙田

When Dr Richard Saint Cyr tells people he voluntarily swapped the spotlessly clean air of California for the grey, grungy skies of Beijing, he is met with raised eyebrows and incredulous expressions.self storageWhy did he do it? His financier wife, Joanna Wang, was posted back to her home city, and he followed. Once there, Saint Cyr, 44, saw a chance to combine his profession with his self-confessed geeky passion for computers and the internet.The result is the expat-oriented website myhealthbeijing.com, which has become the go-to source for all matters relating to well-being, whether it is coping with pollution, avoiding tainted baby formula, seeking reassurance that Japan nuclear-plant radiation will not affect the city, or checking where children can get their vaccine jabs.Unsurprisingly, pollution is by far the hottest topic, especially in recent months, when the air in Beijing reached suffocating levels. The US embassy’s website uses an air quality index that says more than 500 is hazardous; some accounts had the January index at a dangerously high 900.“Where I was working in Sonoma, California, it usually registered as five,” says Saint Cyr. “When it reached 900 in Beijing, it was extraordinarily dangerous, a public health emergency. I was telling people not to go outside.“That is where social media can be very useful. Originally, I started the website and blog aimed at expatriates coming here; everyone is always nervous as to whether the air is as bad as they have heard.”Saint Cyr’s day job is with United Family Hospital group, where he is a marketing executive and practising physician. Until recently, his musings were followed almost exclusively by expatriates, but since he started on the social networking site Weibo, Chinese have also shown interest.“Food safety is always on people’s minds,” he says. “It’s a tough issue; the standards here are not迷你倉what you would be used to if you came from Europe or America.

The availability of vegetables is much greater.“Having said that, Chinese have adopted the Western diet more and more, and the rates of stroke and heart disease are approaching, or even higher than, those in the West. As for the whole recycled cooking-oil scandal, that is pretty bad, too. There is cancer-causing stuff in there. Unfortunately, you do have to pay attention when you are buying food.”Saint Cyr has been surprised by some questions from the local community. One woman asked if it was advisable to try for a child after having a simple X-ray, as friends had told her to wait a month or even six months.“I told her there was no delay – it is completely safe – and asked her who was telling her these crazy things. There’s a lot of misinformation. I’ve been trying to promote the idea that people should use a car seat for babies. If you look around, you see a mother or grandmother holding the baby in the front seat. Most Chinese people think it is safe, but it is incredibly dangerous; in an accident, the baby will fly out of your hands and hit the windscreen.”One blog entry highlighted the vices that some expat men find hard to resist. “That’s the type that smokes and drinks and sleeps around far more than they would ever consider doing back at home,” he says. “I’m mostly concerned about the businessman mentality here, where it’s culturally accepted, if not indirectly coerced, to binge-drink and smoke at business dinners – not to mention the implication that success allows you to have mistresses.“I see a lot of broken marriages as well as alcoholism and chronic bronchitis in these types of expats, and I wonder if their often phenomenal business success was worth the trade-off in their physical and family health.”文件倉

財政困窘，迷你倉為幫政府找錢投入公共建設，經建會規劃國家建設基金輪廓逐步浮現。經建會主委管中閔構想將標售國公有土地予活化，高速公路證券化，並建議台電、中油民營化，並將部分公有股票釋出給全民，還利於民。中央政府總預算案9成均為社福等法定支出，歲出擴張規模愈來愈小，而我國租稅負擔率只有12.8％，為全球最低，稅收嚴重不足，財政捉襟見肘愈形嚴重。為增加公建彈性財源，因應反景氣循環，經建會月底前將向行政院簡報國家建設基金構想。據了解，經建會以2008年金融海嘯時，澳洲政府規劃成立200多億澳元（約相當新台幣六千億元）的建設基金為例，因應反景氣循環。在財政正值困窘之際，管中閔認為，台灣也有必要釋出國有土地與國有財產，對象是釋出給全民、而非財團，若公開釋股，就沒有圖利疑慮。如何籌措政府財源繼續投入公共建設，上週經建會內部討論，目前文件倉國家建設基金初步想法，是擬從標售國有土地，高速公路證券化，還有配合國際潮流，將台電、中油等國營事業民營化，並檢討現有公有民營事業股票釋出，釋給民眾而非財團方式，還利於民。據了解，管中閔認為，現行國營行庫例如台銀、土銀，沒有非維持國營的必要，目前政府手中持有許多國公有企業，政策上都是沒有必要，且未必有效益，例如桃勤公司，就沒有必要維持公有，像交銀過去有政策性任務，後來變成兆豐金也非最好方式民營化。另三商銀公股有無需要公股持有，也可討論，這些都將全面逐一檢視，逐步將公股釋出，官員說，也許不是明年一步到位，但三、五年，或不超過十年應該到位。至於既有200多個基金，立院要求檢討裁撤，管中閔在內部會議中，也認為可以規劃是否進一步統合，例如國道基金、港埠基金是否可以統合在國家建設基金之下，讓基金在公共建設方面扮演更積極的效益。存倉

With the global economy in search of new growth champions, Africa stands out.mini storage  Growth forecasts in the rest of the world are subject to the uncertainty posed by the global environment. Inter-linkages between economies have deepened.  Decelerating growth in any of the major economies will have implications for developing countries. Yet, in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the fundamental impetus behind growth remains domestic. Trade shares of GDP are low. Ex-South Africa, which contributes about a third of SSA GDP, the growth picture is still encouraging.African economies have outperformed for more than a decade, spurred by an improved policy environment, greater savings, a more open embrace of the private sector, and gains in financial intermediation. Economic reform in a post-cold war environment brought a gradual rolling back for Africa’s overextended states. Fiscal policy improved, inflation stabilized and activity took off. In the decade prior to the global economic crisis, real private-sector credit to GDP doubled in the SSA region. Externally, there has been a tendency to see Africa’s growth as being fundamentally correlated with higher commodity prices. However, it was the rise of the African consumer that truly characterized the most recent period of African outperformance, from 2001. True, Africa’s exports remain dominated by primary commodities. But Africa has seen resource booms come and go in the past, and none has been fundamentally transformative of its economic prospects.In the most recent period, rising levels of private consumption were far more important than net exports in driving overall growth. Although oil-rich economies experienced the strongest rates of growth, on balance, in the last decade, most African economies, whether resource-rich or resource-poor, saw accelerated GDP growth. Evidence has also emerged of a sustained decline in poverty rates for the region as a whole. This is difficult to square with the idea that resources were a key driver of growth. Resource-driven growth tends to be capital-intensive, with no obvious means of alleviating poverty. Something else, something more intrinsic to Africa, has been responsible for the region’s recent outperformance.Key trendsAt Standard Chartered, with the benefit of over a hundred years’ experience in different African markets, we believe that the growth outperformance experienced recently is different. Moreover, a number of key trends suggest that it should be sustained in the future. First, consider demographics. Africa is young, and Africa’s population is growing rapidly. Over the coming years, the working age share of Africa’s population is set to rise. This is in contrast to many mature economies and China, where populations will be ageing more rapidly. Although formal-sector job creation remains a challenge, other things being equal, this demographic profile should boost Africa’s growth, driving up consumption and asset prices, as well as creating a greater pool of pension savings that can be invested in the region.  The scale of Africa’s population growth is also important. Nigeria, the region’s most populous economy, is currently ranked 7th in the world by population size. According to Uniself storageed Nations statistics, by 2035, it could be the 4th most populous country globally. By 2055, it could be 3rd, overtaking the US. Only China and India are likely to have bigger populations.But it isn’t solely a Nigeria story. Much of Africa is showing similar signs of rapid demographic growth. African economies have not yet exhibited the same fertility transition seen elsewhere. According to the same UN statistics, by 2100, roughly half of the world’s Top 20 most populous economies will be African. The growth potential this represents is immense.Second, agriculture also represents a significant opportunity. While agricultural productivity in Africa has not yet shown the same leap forward as in other regions, things are starting to change. Governments are starting to take agriculture more seriously. More Africans are currently employed in agriculture than in any other sector, and this is where Africa’s transformation will likely be seen. In per capita terms, contrary to common stereotypes, Africa is richer in water resources than either Asia or the Middle East. Africa also boasts most of the world’s untapped arable land. Only an estimated 14 percent of potentially available farmland is put to use in Africa. Of all the available, untapped, arable land globally, a massive 60 percent is to be found in Sub-Saharan Africa. With increased investment, and greater policy prioritization, African agriculture could realize its potential, transforming growth opportunities in the region.Infrastructure deficitThird, Africa’s infrastructure deficit is well-documented, with the continent’s hinterland poorly served by major transport infrastructure. In part, this explains the weak level of intraregional trade in the region.  But investment in African infrastructure is gaining ground. A higher rate of urbanization has driven down the cost of infrastructure provision in per capita terms, enabling scale economies.  As domestic markets develop and yield curves are extended (allowing for more long-term borrowing), greater investment in infrastructure will likely be facilitated. More African sovereigns are issuing eurobonds, tapping into international capital, in order to finance infrastructure spending. Standard Chartered has pledged over US$2 billion of financing for African energy projects in the next five years, under US President Barack Obama’s Power Africa initiative. The catalysts for a sustained productivity boost, and a structural transformation of African economies, are starting to fall in place.While some challenges remain — Africa must do even more to boost its saving rate and the region’s exports would still benefit from diversification, we nonetheless remain optimistic about Africa’s growth. An increasing number of markets in which Standard Chartered operates will see real GDP trend growth of 7 percent or more in the coming decade, effectively doubling in size. These countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire, Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania and perhaps even Kenya, represent a mix of opportunities as well as risks. But with growth outperformance expected in each of them, Africa’s time has arrived.  It is time to take Africa’s growth seriously. 迷你倉

信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/信晟通投資專欄上周三（8月14日），self storage央行、銀監會、地方政府部門和相關學者共同研討民營銀行如何放開，央行副行長潘功勝出席了會議。據瞭解，研討會的議題除了民資發起商業銀行的准入條件外，還涉及股東治理、退出機制、銀行存款保險制度等相關內容。在這些議題中，如何讓民間資本儘快發起設立民營銀行，毫無疑問成為關注的焦點。成都信晟通投資理財咨詢有限公司（以下簡稱信晟通投資）總經理王曉利表示，她非常贊同國務院發展研究中心宏觀經濟部副部長魏加寧在討論會上發起的呼籲。魏加寧提出：“凡是民營資本、民營企業能做的事情，就應該儘量讓民營企業去做。”█監管層研究民營銀行放開“關於民營資本發起商業銀行的爭論，無論在理論界還是在金融界，這麼多年沒有停止過。”王曉利指出，迄今為止，中國並沒有法律法規明文禁止民資發起設立銀行。一個月前，國務院“金十條”則明確提出應當嘗迷你倉民間資本發起設立自擔風險的民營銀行，“這讓民間金融機構看到了更長遠的目標和更大的希望。”據瞭解，潘功勝自去年6月履新央行副行長以來，已在多個場合提及“銀行業需要提升對各類資本的開放水平”。他在上周三的研討會上透露，相關金融監管部門針對民營銀行制度和政策方面的設計正在推進之中。█民營銀行是大勢所趨王曉利認為：“不管是國有銀行還是民營銀行，各類角色的豐富才有助于形成一個高效、穩定、健康的金融體系。如今政策放開了民資進入銀行業的門檻，而民間金融機構也確實能夠補充現有金融服務的空白點。民資進入銀行業是市場化改革的大勢所趨。”然而，從目前出台的各項文件來看，如何設計可行路徑，打破民資進入銀行領域的玻璃牆，仍需許多制度設計。而有關民營銀行的市場定位、風險兜底、盈利機制等問題，也需進行必要的改革措施與之配套。王曉利希望，對於正處於發展初期的民間金融行業，監管部門應該繼續加強監管，同時給予更高的容忍度。成都商報記者 張蒙文件倉

The Chinese banking sector will remember the summer of 2013 as the beginning of a series of painful reforms that heralded a concerted government effort to correct its past mistakes.儲存 But in time it might come to collectively acknowledge that the introduction of stricter government policies paved the way to a more sustainable future. In early June China’s banks suffered their worst liquidity crisis in more than a decade. China Everbright Bank was unable to pay back a 6 billion yuan ($979 millions) loan it owed to the Industrial Bank, sparking liquidity concerns across 20 Chinese banks. This pushed the interbank lending rate past the 10 percent mark, far higher than the generally accepted level of 2.5 percent. The subsequent turmoil in the money market spread to the capital market, causing the yield on a one-year government bill to exceed the yield on the 10-year government bond. In the face of chaos, the People’s Bank of China held firm. The common strategy of China’s central bank in such a scenario is to inject additional liquidity to rescue the market. The banking sector, analysts, academics and journalists expected more of the same this time also. However, the PBOC confounded all expectations. It issued another 2 billion yuan 91-day government note, which withdrew additional capital from the system. The surprise move panicked the markets and the Shanghai stock index plunged 5.4 percent on June 24. It was a risky test of the resilience of the markets — could they recover without government intervention? The eventual restoration of order proved they could, marking a successful experiment that, crucially, will give the government the confidence to repeat the dose. Although we have the benefit of hindsight, playing tough was the right call. China’s liquidity wobbles stem from the 2008 stimulus plan when the government pumped 4 trillion yuan into the economy to soften the fallout from the global financial crisis. Local governments poured the money into unprofitable infrastructure projects and created an unsustainable property bubble. Projects were postponed and housing prices stalled. Bank loans could not be paid back. Most of the banks believed the PBOC would soon relax its monetary policy stance in the knowledge that the central bank had always moved to plug any liquidity gaps. So to pursue higher profits they expanded their loan book aggressively. During the first 10 days in June, total loan growth in China reached 1 trillion yuan. Some banks even lent their full quota for the month in just 10 days, directly contravening the government’s efforts to stabilize the money market and bring it in line with long-term aims to rebalance the economy. By refusing to bail out China Everbright Bank, the PBOC sent a forceful signal to the market that banks should start managing risk carefully and accept responsibility for their own liquidity positions. If they fall in trouble, the PBOC has made it clear that it is no longer willing to act as their last resort through unconditional bailouts. Instead, the government will rely on the invisible hand of the market and allow the system to gradually restore equilibrium. Anecdotal evidence suggests banks are responding by implementing their own reforms to rein in irresponsible lending, in some cases even taking extreme action. An employee at one of China’s Big Four banks told me they are under great pressure to reject unsuitable loan applications, with the bank in some cases forcing employees to accept personal liability — for example through their pension pots — for loans that turn bad. The second major summer reform came on July 20 when the PBOC announced that China’s banking industry was bein新蒲崗迷你倉 given the freedom to set their own lending rates. Symbolically, it was a highly significant move. It increases competition among China’s banks, removing the protective barrier that has long circled China’s biggest four State-owned banks and allowing smaller commercial banks to compete on a more level playing field. It was another firm indication of the government’s ambitions to further liberalize the Chinese economy and force the Big Four to innovate in the face of stiffer competition. It marks the start of a gradual process that will be accelerated by the next big reform on the horizon: the liberalization of deposit rates, which will help smaller banks attract more customers. We can expect this policy change to be introduced in about six months to a year, after the government has reviewed the country’s overall economic development. And we can also expect that the Chinese government will lift a ban on initial public offerings currently preventing smaller Chinese banks from listing on the stock exchange to raise more funds.

Much concern surrounds the growth of China’s shadow banking system, a complex web of off-the-balance-sheet, high-interest loans that evade the scrutiny of bank regulators. All the banks are doing it – from the Big Four to the country’s smallest – and a large proportion of the money is going to property developers and local government financing arms. Although precarious, the situation is under control. When Wen Jiabao was Chinese premier, he tried to tame this shadow-banking sector. He recognized the severity of the problem but noted that it was mainly confined to China’s eastern coastal areas, where economic development is faster and the real estate market is more prosperous. Since Wen’s retirement, the government has been relatively quiet on the issue, recognizing that its hands are tied. Small and medium-sized companies rely on shadow lending to grow due to a lack of access to regular bank loans, largely due to the government’s own lending restrictions. To address this issue, on August 12 China’s cabinet unveiled plans to set up more private banks and open up more financing channels to provide additional support for cash-starved SMEs. The other issue cited as a major worry is the proliferation of wealth management products, which banks are using to finance lending to high-risk borrowers through the shadow banking system. Banks try to persuade their customers to withdraw money from their regular savings account and purchase a WMP, which pays a higher rate of interest due to the fact the money is being lent at a higher rate to risky borrowers. But for now banks are struggling to make these WMPs attractive to members of the public, whose confidence is low following collapses in both the stock and housing markets. Increasingly skeptical investors prefer government bonds that offer a stable level of return not much lower than the rates offered through WMPs – a three-year bond is typically within the 3.5 percent-5 percent range while WMP returns average around 5-6 percent. Many banks will be forced to undergo painful adjustments in the short term as competition across the sector intensifies but they are likely to emerge stronger in the long run. They may just recall the summer of 2013 as the turning point. The author is a lecturer in business and finance at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies, the University of Nottingham.
