2. WORLD FINANCE EXPERTS CONSIDER LIKELY FUTURE INTEREST RATES

第五届外滩金融峰会：全球财经大咖热议“复苏与挑战”

The 2023 Bund Summit opened today in Shanghai, bringing together global financial leaders discussing paths towards economic recovery and growth. As the world grapples with geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, the fifth Bund Summit is addressing issues in global macro policies, the evolution of international supply chains and artificial intelligence. Zhang Shixuan explains.

2023外滩金融峰会今天在上海开幕，全球财经大咖齐聚一堂，探讨经济复苏和增长之路。在全球努力应对地缘政治紧张局势和经济不确定性之际，第五届外滩峰会将探讨全球宏观政策、国际供应链演变和人工智能等问题。记者张诗旋带来更多报道。

The first plenary【完全的】session today focused on the future of globalization. In the roundtable discussion, the experts focused on global monetary policies, which have been seeing aggresive moves by major foreign central banks to curb inflation. This Wednesday, the US Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged for the second time in its last three meetings while suggesting further increases could be coming. Experts today said markets are now suggesting a higher neutural rate of interest, or R-star.

今天的第一次全体会议重点讨论了全球化的未来。在圆桌讨论中，专家们重点讨论了全球货币政策，外国央行一直在采取积极举措抑制通胀。本周三，美国联邦储备委员会在过去三次会议中第二次维持主要利率不变，同时暗示可能会进一步加息。专家们今天表示，市场现在暗示着更高的中性利率。

Nathan Sheets, Global Chief Economist, Citi

内森·希茨花旗集团全球首席经济学家

“I think I see a higher cyclical R-star. I don't know if it's as high as 4, but I can easily get my head around 3 or something a little bit higher, which is compared to the Fed docs, they're writing down 2 and a half. I see 50, 75 basis points pretty easy to justify. We have seen in the economy, it's ongoing, very robust pent-up demand for services and that spending has been relatively insensitive to policy price and many other economic parameters【参数】. And given that momentum in the economy, arguably, it has taken, it may continue to take somewhat more restraint for monetary policy to be able to bring things back into balance.”

“我看到了更高的中性利率。我不知道它是否高达4，但我可以轻易理解为3左右或更高一点，比起美联储的政策——他们定为2.5。在我看来, 50、75个基点是很容易做到的。在经济中，对服务业的压抑需求非常强劲，而且这种支出对政策价格和许多其他经济参数相对不敏感。可以说，鉴于这种经济势头，货币政策可能需要继续采取更多的限制措施，才能使经济恢复平衡。”

Other experts warned of some upward pressure on the neutral rate brought about by debt increases.

其他专家警告债务增加会给中性利率带来一定的上升压力。

Jason Furman, Former Chairman, Council of Economic Advisers of the White House

贾森·弗曼白宫经济顾问委员会前主席

“Now we have a lot more debt than we had four years ago. That debt puts upward pressure on the neutral rate. If you forced me to pick a number, I would pick a number like 75 basis points, which is above what the Fed says. If you would force me four years ago, I would effect a number probably 25 basis points, which was below what the Fed was saying at the time. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was even higher than that. And it's something where you need to watch closely in the next few years.”

现在，我们的债务比四年前多了很多。这些债务给中性利率带来了上升压力。如果你非要我选择一个数字，我会选择 75个基点，这个数字高于美联储所说的数字。如果你迫使我让我在四年前选择一个数字，我会选可能是 25个基点，这个数字低于美联储当时所说的数字。但如果比这更高，我也不会感到惊讶。这也是未来几年需要密切关注的问题。

Consumer inflation in the US has dropped from a year-over-year peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.7% last month, yet is still well above the Fed's 2% target, and Fed officials have signaled that they may well raise rates once more this year. This week the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England both decided to hold their interest rates steady for now. At the plenary session today, Wang Yiming from the Monetary Policy Committee at the People's Bank of China noted that for the past three years, China has been holding its interest rates relatively steady, focusing on maintaining a consistent monetary policy.

美国消费通胀率已从2022年6月的同比峰值9.1%降至上个月的3.7%，但仍远高于美联储 2%的目标，美联储官员已表示今年很可能再次加息。本周，日本央行和英国央行均决定暂时维持利率稳定。在今天的全体会议上，我国央行货币政策委员会的王一鸣指出，过去三年来，中国一直保持相对稳定的利率，重点是要保持货币政策的连贯性。
