2021年4月12日，人民银行、银保监会、证监会、外汇局等金融管理部门再次联合约谈蚂蚁集团。中国人民银行副行长潘功胜代表四部门就约谈情况回答了记者提问。 问：金融管理部门再次约谈蚂蚁集团有什么考虑？ 答：党的十九届五中全会、中央经济工作会议及中央财经委员会第九次会议明确提出，要强化反垄断和防止资本无序扩张，切实防范风险。要从构筑国家竞争新优势的战略高度出发，建立健全平台经济治理体系，推动平台经济规范健康持续发展。 自去年12月份四部门联合监管约谈以来，蚂蚁集团建立专门团队，在金融管理部门指导下制定整改方案，积极开展整改工作。此次金融管理部门再次联合约谈蚂蚁集团有关人员，主要是要求蚂蚁集团必须正视金融业务活动中存在的严重问题和整改工作的严肃性，对标监管要求和拟定的整改方案，深入有效整改，确保实现依法经营、守正创新、健康发展；必须坚持服务实体经济和人民群众的本源，积极响应国家发展战略，在符合审慎监管要求的前提下，加大金融科技创新，提升金融科技领域的国际竞争力，在构建“双循环”新发展格局中发挥更大作用。 问：蚂蚁集团整改方案的主要内容是什么？ 答：蚂蚁集团整改工作启动以来，金融管理部门就整改措施与蚂蚁集团进行了深入沟通，并督促蚂蚁集团形成了全面可行的整改方案。 整改内容主要包括五个方面：一是纠正支付业务不正当竞争行为，在支付方式上给消费者更多选择权，断开支付宝与“花呗”“借呗”等其他金融产品的不当连接，纠正在支付链路中嵌套信贷业务等违规行为。二是打破信息垄断，严格落实《征信业管理条例》要求，依法持牌经营个人征信业务，遵循“合法、最低、必要”原则收集和使用个人信息，保障个人和国家信息安全。三是蚂蚁集团整体申设为金融控股公司，所有从事金融活动的机构全部纳入金融控股公司接受监管，健全风险隔离措施，规范关联交易。四是严格落实审慎监管要求，完善公司治理，认真整改违规信贷、保险、理财等金融活动，控制高杠杆和风险传染。五是管控重要基金产品流动性风险，主动压降余额宝余额。 金融管理部门将督促蚂蚁集团切实落实整改方案，把握好工作节奏，保持业务连续性和企业正常经营，确保广大人民群众对金融服务的体验不下降，持续提升普惠金融服务水平。 问：下一步金融管理部门如何加强平台企业金融监管？ 答：金融管理部门将坚持公平监管和从严监管原则，着眼长远、兼顾当前，补齐短板、强化弱项，促进公平竞争，反对垄断，防止资本无序扩张。一是坚持“金融为本、科技赋能”。平台企业开展金融业务应以服务实体经济、防范金融风险为本，不能使科技成为违法违规行为的“保护色”。对于违规经营行为，依法严肃查处。二是坚持金融活动全部纳入金融监管。金融业务必须持牌经营；提升监管能力和水平，优化监管框架，防范监管套利。三是坚持发展和规范并重。依法加强监管，规范市场秩序，防止市场垄断，保障数据产权及个人隐私；同时把握好平台经济发展规律，提升金融服务体验，巩固和增强平台企业国际竞争力。 金融管理部门将一如既往地坚持“两个毫不动摇”，营造公平竞争市场环境，继续支持民营资本依法开展金融科技活动，依法保护产权，弘扬企业家精神，激发民营资本的市场活力和科技创新能力。 问：中国金融管理部门在加强国际金融科技监管合作方面有何考虑？ 答：近年来，金融科技与平台经济快速发展，在提升金融服务效率和金融体系普惠性、降低交易成本方面发挥了重要作用。同时，由于其具有跨界、混业、跨区域经营等特征，风险传染速度更快、波及面更广、负面溢出效应更强，对金融监管形成了新挑战，成为世界各国监管部门共同面对的新问题。 世界主要经济体监管部门对此高度关注，并已采取实际行动，作出监管调整和政策响应。在监管理念上，遵循“同样业务、同样监管”的原则，致力于在促进金融科技发展和防范金融风险之间取得平衡。在监管方法上，探索运用大数据、云计算、人工智能等科技成果，提升风险监测感知能力和穿透式监管能力。在监管内容上，强调个人信息保护及反垄断。例如，欧盟2018年实施了《通用数据保护条例》，并加快推进《数据治理法案》；美国近年来连续发起对大型科技公司的反垄断调查;德国在2020年通过《反对限制竞争法》第十次修正案等。 中国金融管理部门愿进一步加强与国际金融组织和各国监管当局在反垄断、数据监管、运营管理、消费者保护等方面的合作，推动制定金融科技监管规范，加强监管协调，共同打造开放、包容、安全的金融科技生态环境，提升金融业创新能力，同时防范跨境监管套利和金融风险跨境传染。 2021-04-15/yunnan/2021/0415/904.html

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has recently released the Balance of Payments (BOP) for the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2021 as well as the International Investment Position (IIP) as at the end of September 2021. The SAFE deputy administrator and press spokesperson Wang Chunying answered media questions on relevant issues. Q: Could you brief us on China’s BOP for the first three quarters of 2021? A: In the first three quarters, China maintained a basic balance in its international payments. The current account surplus stood at US$196.3 billion, with its ratio to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reaching 1.5%, which continued to fall within a reasonable and balanced range. The cross-border two-way investment remained active. First, trade in goods recorded a higher surplus and trade in services registered a narrower deficit. In the first three quarters of this year, trade in goods in terms of BOP recorded a surplus US$374.2 billion, up by 15% year on year. It is mainly because the sustained recovery of China’s economy and increased international demand have led to growth in both imports and exports compared with the same period of the previous year. Trade in services registered a deficit of US$82.5 billion, down by 29% year on year. This was mainly due to a 20% decrease in the travel deficit as the repeated global pandemic continued to curb cross-border movement of people. Besides, revenue from transport services grew faster than spending, and the transport deficit shrank by 41% year on year. Second, outward investment and foreign investment in China were both robust. In the first three quarters, China’s outward direct investment remained stable at US$85.4 billion, while the foreign direct investment in China reached US$249.5 billion, reflecting overseas investors’ confidence in prospects of China’s economic development and their investment in China. Under the item of portfolio investment, China’s outward investment reached US$99.2 billion and attracted US$143.7 billion of inward investment. It showed that the two-way opening of China’s capital market has run smoothly and has met the needs of domestic and foreign investors for asset allocation. Under other investment items such as loans and deposits, China’s outward investment registered US$313.4 billion and the inward investment reached US$143 billion, both of which recorded historically high levels. In general, with the external environment becoming more complex and grim, China has done well in coordinating the prevention and control of the COVID-19 with economic and social development. China’s economy is resilient, and the fundamentals of long-term positive development remain unchanged, which will help China maintain overall stability and basic balance in the international payments. Q: What would you say about China’s IIP at the end of September 2021? A: By the end of September 2021, China’s IIP remained stable. The external financial assets increased, and reserve assets continued to rank first in the world. First, China’s total external financial assets increased. By the end of September 2021, China posted external assets of US$9.0566 trillion, up by 0.3% from the end of June; of that, assets under direct investment amounted to US$2.4685 trillion, rising by 0.3%; assets under portfolio investment were US$966.9 billion, declining by 4.6% due to changes in valuation; assets under other investments including overseas deposits and loans reached US$2.2344 trillion, increasing by 1.9%; and reserve assets reached US$3.373 trillion, up by 0.8%. Second, total external liabilities slightly decreased. By the end of September 2021, China recorded external liabilities of US$7.0314 trillion, down by 0.1% from the end of June, mainly affected by exchange rate translation and changes in valuation. Liabilities under direct investment in China amounted to US$3.4223 trillion, with an increase of 1.7%; liabilities under portfolio investment were US$2.0548 trillion, down by 2.6%; and liabilities under other investments including deposits and loans absorbed reached US$1.5439 trillion, declining by 1%. 2021-12-31/en/2021/1231/1917.html

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has recently released data on foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks as well as cross-border receipts and payments by non-banking sectors for November 2021. The SAFE Deputy Administrator and Press Spokesperson Wang Chunying answered media questions on China’s foreign exchange receipts and payments of November 2021. Q: Could you brief us on China’s foreign exchange receipts and payments of November 2021? A: China’s cross-border receipts and payments and foreign exchange market transactions remained active in November, and the foreign exchange market remained generally stable. In terms of total amount, in November, the foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks reached up to US$446.8 billion, while the foreign-related receipts and payments of non-banking sectors totaled US$1,075.2 billion, recording a month-on-month growth of 26% and 23% respectively, which continued the trend of overall growth since 2020. In terms of the balance, the foreign exchange settlement and sales by banks recorded a surplus of US$25.2 billion, higher than that in October. This was mainly accounted for by the increase of foreign exchange settlement of export earnings under trade items. The foreign-related receipts and payments of non-banking sectors also posted a surplus of US$33.1 billion, roughly at the same level as in October. By the end of November, China’s foreign exchange reserves stood at US$3.2224 trillion, which remained basically stable compared with the end of October. The foreign exchange market expectations were generally stable. According to the willingness to purchase and sell foreign exchange which reflects market expectations, in November, the sales ratio (the ratio of foreign exchanges sold by clients to banks to their foreign-related foreign exchange receipts) recorded 65%, almost the same as compared with the average monthly level from July to October. The purchase ratio (the ratio of foreign exchange bought by clients from banks to their foreign-related foreign exchange payments) reached 64%, 0.9% higher than the average monthly level from July to October. This indicated that the willingness of market entities to sell and purchase foreign exchange remained stable. The cross-border two-way investment was maintained in a reasonable and orderly manner. In November, the net inflow of foreign direct investment capital has remained at a certain scale, and the net outflow of foreign direct investment capital has registered a steady increase. The net increase in foreign holdings of domestic bonds and stocks totaled US$24.4 billion, indicating that foreign investors’ willingness to hold renminbi assets remained stable. At present, uncertainties and unstable factors in the external environment are increasing. The COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving around the world while inflation remains high in some countries and major developed economies may accelerate the adjustment of monetary policies. However, China’s economy is resilient. Its macro policies are sound and effective, and the fundamentals of China’s long-term sound economic growth have not changed. Therefore, there is still a solid foundation for the smooth operation of the foreign exchange market. 2021-12-24/en/2021/1224/1914.html
