Hi everyone. I’m Stephanie LI.大家好,我是主持人李莹亮。
Coming up on today’s program.重点提要 China is expected to contribute over 30% of global economic growth in 2023;China-US direct flights will reach 70 per week starting November.Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours 中国经济要闻China is projected to contribute more than 30 percent of global economic growth in 2023, highlighting the anchoring role of the world's second-largest economy in a more vulnerable world, leading experts said at a forum on Saturday.Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said the world has become more shock-prone after three years of COVID-19, conflicts and worsening climate disasters.The good news is that the world economy has shown resilience, with Asia faring better than other regions. Specifically, China alone is projected to contribute more than 30 percent of global growth this year, Georgieva said via video at the International Finance Forum (IFF) 20th Anniversary and Annual Meeting 2023 on Saturday in Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong Province.She added that macroeconomic policies have been appropriate as a whole in China, though there is still room to re-orient public spending towards social protection and a need to expedite market-based restructuring of troubled real estate developers.The IFF Global Finance and Development Report 2023, released during the meeting, predicts that China's economy will grow 5.2 percent in 2023 and 5 percent in 2024 as the government is expected to further take actions to ensure the orderly resolution of debt problems of some large property developers and the sustainability of local government finance. Monetary and fiscal policies will continue to support recovery as well.Meanwhile, the global economy is projected to grow 3.1 percent both this year and next, when tight monetary policy and financial conditions are set to continue.Warning of the global debt and financial risks brought by a higher-for-longer interest rate environment, Zhou Xiaochuan, co-chairman of the IFF, called for closer coordination of macroeconomic, financial and regulatory policies among different countries, especially when it comes to managing the spillover effect of developed economies' monetary tightening on developing ones.“世界经济已显现出韧性,我们预计全球经济将呈现正增长,但在未来几年增速仅为3%左右。
亚洲的经济表现好于其他地区,仅中国就贡献了今年全球经济增长的30%以上。
”国际货币基金组织(IMF)总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃在国际金融论坛(IFF)20周年全球年会上发表视频演讲时表示。
本次年会由广东省人民政府、广州市人民政府和国际金融论坛联合主办,于10月27-29日在广州南沙举行。
年会举行期间,来自世界50多个国家的嘉宾将围绕“新资本、新价值、新世界:全球经济碎片化下的重振与合作”的主题展开深入探讨。
国际金融论坛(IFF)联合主席、第十二届中国政协副主席周小川在致辞中强调,面临全球经济挑战,各国应坚持全球化的正确方向,捍卫多边主义,避免搞筑强设垒、脱钩断链和经济胁迫,要建设开放性世界经济,反对保护主义,避免滥用国家安全理由,限制贸易和投资。
希望IFF进一步积极作为,真正成为立足大湾区,助力粤港澳协同,面向世界的新型国际交流平台,为应对国际经济金融重大挑战,促进世界经济实现包容性及全面可持续发展做出更大贡献。
会上还发布了《IFF2023年全球金融与发展报告》。
报告表示,预计中国经济2023年和2024年将分别增长5.2%和5%。
为了支持经济增长、促进消费支出,中国政府在今年7月下旬推出了多项措施。
这些措施包括放宽购车限制,鼓励购买新能源汽车;支持首套购房者需求和改善性购房需求;增加家装和家用电子产品的消费;促进体育、娱乐、外出就餐、旅游和健康服务消费。
为了增强民营企业的信心,中国政府还公布了一系列鼓励私人投资的措施,包括放宽一些关键部门的准入和提供融资支持。
报告认为,中国政府将继续采取措施,以确保逐步解决一些大型房地产开发商的债务问题和保持地方政府财政的可持续性,中国的货币和财政政策也将继续支持经济复苏。
未来中国经济增长面临的主要风险包括房地产行业下滑幅度超过预期,地方政府债务压力进一步加大以及外部需求弱于预期。
从国别看,中国仍将是全球经济增长的最大
