1. We all saw the #destruction caused by visible #looting in #SAUnrest & communities are reeling from the impact. But about 1000 times of what it will cost to repair last week’s damage, was “invisibly” looted through #StateCapture & #corruption. Here are some highlights

2. According to @ShadowWorldInv1 the #ArmsDeal of the 1990’s cost SA an estimated R2,2 billion looted to pay bribes and kickbacks. To date nothing has been recovered. Money that could have changed the poor’s lives wasted on #GrandScaleLooting.
3. In 2015 @CompComSA found #construction companies #GroupFive, #WBHO, #BasilRead, Murray&Roberts, #Aveng & #StefanuttiStocks guilty of #colluding when building 2010 FIFA World Cup stadiums. This added R14 billion to construction costs. (Your taxmoney!)
6/cps >90% of the Cos/corporates within this 60% are part of the #PartySector run by #PartyCapitalists (party members, their family, friends & special agents) who owe allegiance to party and follow its directives on all policy matters(or get jailed for corruption or worse)
7/cps Beyond what China experts label #SOEs, lies a vast a shadowy, grey #PartySector run by #PartyCapitalists who were funded by #SOEs, provincial parties, #TVEs and State owned, controlled, run, banks and which foreigners were persuaded is the #PrivateSector :

Given the economic loss in Q1 as a result of the ongoing #COVID-19, even if China's growth rate is rapidly pulled to more than 5% in Q2, Q3 and Q4, it is difficult to achieve a growth rate of over 3% in the whole year without the implementation of unimaginable #stimuluspolicies.
But even so, China is likely to be the only major economy to see positive growth this year, according to CF40 Invited Member Liang Hong. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Gzp9f_Tmm39V…
Whether China can recover from this shock in short term requires more efforts.
While #China’s economy slowed down in 2019 as a result of slowdown in both internal and external demand, the downward pressure is expected to be released by marginal improvement in cyclical factors, according to Wu Ge in a recent interview:
mp.weixin.qq.com/s/LvkNYDXB00lD… #economics
mp.weixin.qq.com/s/LvkNYDXB00lD… #economics
Global economic performance is likely to be improved resulting from easy monetary and financial condition and proactive fiscal policies, as well as potential increase in external demand brought by improvement in China-US #trade relations.
Increase in the flexibility of RMB exchange rate mechanism is also conductive to restoring external demand. Chinese RMB value against USD once dropped below 7, indicating an increase in authority’s tolerance for exchange rate fluctuations.
While #deleveraging was a major task for China’s macroeconomic policy over past few years,it has been less covered in official documents lately. But its effects on economy still continue,both on micro entities and macroeconomy,cf40 member Wu Ge finds more: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hMSgV0_gJYC6…
It is necessary to look into the effects of deleveraging on corporates’ balance sheet, which is helpful to understand changes in investment behaviors of micro entities and forecast the development orientation of macroeconomy.
To private firms, deleveraging has raised their capital costs; however, due to the “non-neutrality” of competition between private firms and #SOEs over the past 40 years, deleveraging can hardly fully explain rising fund costs of private firms.

Small&medium-sized banks have been under increasing pressure in managing risks following #China's new asset management rules.While risk always accompanies #banks’ business,proper measures should be taken to ensure effective management. by Liu Xiaochun:mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7sQMVTgDUWsc… 1/9
#CORPORATE GOVERNANCE should be enhanced and the establishment of SMBs must follow business principles rather than being led by or endorsed government support. 2/9
HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT which brings returns to banks should be the true goal of shareholders including govt,#SOEs and some private firms, rather than grabbing money by investing in these banks. 3/9
#China has taken a series measures to boost #manufacturing industry in recent years as economic growth slows down.The latest moves were cutting #VAT &
introducing more credit to manufacturers. Thanks to these measures, the
industry has seen some rebound lately,according to Wu Ge.
introducing more credit to manufacturers. Thanks to these measures, the
industry has seen some rebound lately,according to Wu Ge.
However,#credit cost is still very high for #SMEs, who are the main components of #manufacturing,according to the credit spread between #SOEs and SMEs, which rose slightly following the Baoshang #Bank issue. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/9fxogwIAw1go…
While the efforts to reduce over-capacity over the past few years have helped lessen the burden for manufacturing, a weak aggregate demand along with the global economic slowdown are still dragging down the performance of manufacturing. #economics
2 main reasons why #China’s #financial #reform has become an urgent task:
1. a lot more domestic complaints about the financial sector: it doesn’t support the real economy, #SMEs #funding difficulties, etc.
By Huang Yiping on the 8th CF40-@PIIE Economists Symposium.

2. external complaints, which sometimes show up in the discussions of the #trade dispute. Americans often complain that #Chinese #SOEs compete unfairly with foreign companies with access to subsidy, #credit or funding, which put others at a disadvantage.
3 evidences that explain why we suddenly worry more about the financial sector than before:
1. incremental capital-output ratio (ICOR) in #China has been rising rapidly. The ratio was 3.5 in 2007, and it rose to 6.3 in 2015.

As #China’s economy has entered new development stage, it calls for substantial changes to financial sector, one of which is the #market-oriented supply-side structural financial reform. Three key aspects to this reform are:
1.Developing multilayer capital markets. #Banks will continue to be important but the rest of the financial system and all types of investment funds should play a greater role in supporting innovation private enterprises, and #SMEs.
2. Market forces playing decisive roles in allocating financial resources Market forces should play decisive roles in allocating financial resources, which means equal treatment of #SOEs & non-SOEs, and market-based risk pricing.
The ablution of a Cat is NEVER a demonstration of Holiness but a ploy to devour the master’s soup. It is clear how souls are being bought for N30k stipend per month under the guise of a social palliative, months before a critical election. We are watching. #EndRigging #SOES
The systemic rigging by the constant visit of the VP to NYSC camps with bribes have been recorded. We all know the corpers will be deployed for election and the people will resist every surreptitious attempt of desperadoes to abort us from the womb of democracy. #EndRigging #SOEP
All institutions MUST absolve themselves from the plot of some interests to use them as a tool to ruin our democracy. We will not recover from this should the electoral process be marred by manipulations. We are seeing the signs. #EndRigging #SanitizeOurElectoralProcess #SOEP
