1.TWO-DAY FINANCIAL WORK CONFERENCE HELD IN BEIJING

为期两日中央金融工作会议在京举行

The Central Financial Work Conference - which take place once every five years - was held in Beijing from Monday to Tuesday. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, delivered an important speech. Lei Shuran has more.

本周一至周二（10/30-10/31），五年一次的中央金融工作会议在北京举行。中共中央总书记习近平发表了重要讲话。本台记者雷舒然带来详细报道。

Noting that finance key to the national economy and an important part of the country’s core competitiveness, the meeting urged greater efforts to comprehensively step up financial supervision, optimize【使优化】 financial services and prevent and resolve risks to promote high-quality development of China’s financial sector.

会议强调，金融是国民经济的血脉，是国家核心竞争力的重要组成部分，要全面加强金融监管，优化金融服务，防范化解风险，推动我国金融高质量发展。

The meeting heard how China’s financial system has strongly supported the country’s overall economic and social development, but also still comes with risks, including corruption【贪污】and poor efficiency.

会议指出了金融系统有力支撑经济社会发展大局，但经济金融风险隐患仍然较多，腐败问题屡禁不止，金融服务实体经济的质效不高。

The conference delegates【代表】called for optimizing the use of financial resources and creating a market with unified rules and coordinated supervision so risks -- at financial institutions and in local government finances -- can be addressed in a timely manner.

与会代表呼吁优化金融资源的使用，打造规则统一、监管协同的金融市场，以便及时应对金融机构和地方政府财政的风险。

“最终来化解好这个地方政府债务。要有一个综合实测，有一个系统性的政策体系来统一支持，这个也包含着了对整个地方债的这样一个甄别。就是说你做了什么事情？你做的事情好不好？事情做得不好的话，这个钱怎么跑过来的？这里边其实也就包含着这个金融体制一些漏洞，要通过这样一个过程把它尽快的给堵住，把整个金融制度包括金融监管，把它全面的加强起来。”

“To ultimately dissolve problems in local government debt, there needs to be a comprehensive measurement and a systematic policy system to offer support, which also includes the screening of local debt. That is, what have you done and how well did you do it? If things are not done well, how were the loans approved? There are financial loopholes in the debt issuance process which should be plugged as soon as possible using the screening process, so as to strengthen the financial system and supervision.”

From 2014 to September 2023, China saw its outstanding yuan-denominated loans issued to the real economy shoot up from a little over 81 trillion yuan to more than 230 trillion yuan. The average annual debt growth was 10 percent, generally in line with nominal GDP growth, according to data from the People’s Bank of China.

从2014年到2023年9月，中国发放给实体经济的人民币贷款从81万亿元增加到了230多万亿元。根据中国人民银行的数据，平均年债务增长率为10%，与名义国内生产总值（GDP）增长相符。
