But income wise, u are down for the year! Easy to grow from a lower base.
Q: What about debt?
Question: Did debt get erased by the same magnitude?
A: No, it didn’t. People w/ loss of income got same debt👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻
Monthly income:
Jan 100
Feb 50
March 75
Total 225 & growth in QoQ is down, assuming u would expect some growth (say last yr Q1 output =300)
Q2 say ramp up & output= 310 so QOQ massively up 310/225
Okay but H1 535 still lower than last year!
Ok, let’s talk about debt:
System wise it is about 3 times annual income & for firms about 1.6 times & mostly short-term at high rates
Okay, so ur income in Q1 pretty down (225 vs expectations of >300) & debt high!
So? They reduce costs!!! They lay-off people/ask for unpaid leave/or just close shop.
That’s 60% of China GDP
But if SMEs are 30% open, then the marginal help won’t cut it. We need cash for cash flow issues. Or they cut costs & that is employment...
So in short, income down in Q1, Q2 easy to have V-shape “recovery” but can’t make back lost time/income.
Meanwhile, debt high👈🏻
