The People’s Bank of China reports that the combined domestic debt of corporations, households and the public sector increased last year to a level equivalent to 280 % of GDP (285 trillion yuan or 36 trillion euros), up from 255 % of GDP in 2019. When China’s foreign debt (which the PBoC estimates to be 14.5 % of GDP at the end of June) is included, total debt rises to about 295 % of GDP.
Due to the covid crisis and related measures, the debt-to-GDP ratios of many countries increased significantly last year. Figures from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) for over 40 countries suggest China’s the increase in debt-to-GDP ratio from the start of 2020 to end of June was quite ordinary compared to the other countries. China’s debt-to-GDP ratio, nevertheless, is distinctly higher than in other emerging economies and on par with US and euro area, which have more developed financial markets.
China’s piling on of debt has long raised concerns among observers of the Chinese economy because rapid descents into indebtedness in other countries have typically led to major economic collapse or severe banking crises. Moreover, China was already engaged in efforts to bail out small and medium-sized banks before covid-19 struck, with so at least 500 billion yuan (BOFIT Weekly 40/2020) in public funds already expended. The lion’s share of Chinese debt exists in the form of bank loans taken by the corporate sector. During the covid pandemic, certain branches experienced significant declines in the ability of firms to service their debts. Stress tests released by PBoC in November showed that 10 of 30 banks were would fail even under the mildest stress scenario, which only assumed that GDP growth would be 1.6 % in 2020 and 7.8 % in 2021. The stress tests comprised all of China’s systemically critical banks.
much of africa gain independence in the 1960s............but wasted first few decades in wars and fighting remnants of racisms and imperialism. ..and then in the 1990s devastated by Aids and poverty.
but Africa has spend the last 20 years in relative peace and developing fast with new generations of leaders and help from China. Outlook for Africa is very bright.
collapse of China....................................people like HK black shirt terrorists and idq have been talking about coming collapse of china like forever.
how can China collapse when USA has inflation problems and China has no inflation problems?
no inflation problem means China has flexibility, any time also can pump the economy if China so chooses. no inflation problem is the best place to be when the whole world is facing inflation problems.
inflation hurts the poor disproportionally. Socialist's China keeps away inflation because socialists priorities the people, the people are happy and thank ful.
look at capitalists USA.........................gdp from 10 trillion to 25 trillion in last 20 years? what does USA have to show for it? I mean besides wars and spending on wars?
China has a large and growing middle class. Internal consumption and dual circulation and trade with BRICS + and global south will keep the economy growing, what ever happens to G7.
I am far more worried about the economies of Germany, Japan, UK, USA......This year , China has become the largest exporter of cars in the world....Without automobile industry, Germany and Japan eat what?
Debt Surges to 9 Trillion Dollar.....................and all in yuan and no inflation.........................so, where is the problem?
when all the liabilities are in yuan and no inflation as a result...........................the infrastructure is built for the people and for the future. ............u only worry about it if it is in foreign currencies or it causes inflation.
qqq dont use 26 alphabets to communicate better use CCP preferred language. You are silly to CCP without knowing your ancient language. =========
Debt Surges to 9 Trillion Dollar.....................and all in yuan and no inflation.........................so, where is the problem?....no money to repay debt then cancel the debt la, problem solved.
when the state allocates 9 trillion to built the HSR, they never expected to be repaid............it is for the people, that is why the tickets are so cheap.....china is a socialist country and not a capitalist country like in America.
I tell u a secret...China do not collect much in income tax. China is a socialist country, not a capitalist country. So ,how did China built so much infrastructure? trade secret.
how did China spend trillions in BRI over seas? trade secret.
its not really a secret....................... China is a surplus country in foreign reserves. All local companies are required to convert their USD into yuan by law. The PBOC gives them the yuan and spends the USD in BRI overseas. Better spend it in BRI overseas than just keep it in FED deposits ...smart or not?
Better spend it in BRI overseas than just keep it in FED deposits ...smart or not? spending it overseas do not create inflation locally, that is very important.
aI technology? in 2015 Xi plan is to be number one in AI by 2025...............well,...........this set off panic in America and they are doing their best to stop China...see how la.
AI software is not a problem for China ...China has enough talents to solve this problem. Getting enough advanced chips is a real problem, for the time being. but even this can be solved soon.
america spends 10 trillion in Afganistan.................China has 9 trillion liabilities in HSR? Chinese prefers China's problems than America's problems.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
