TAN:观察丨渣打集团主席韦浩思:“一带一路”项目应注重多边参与_ENT

08:30渣打集团主席韦浩思近日接受了中国一带一路网的专访,介绍了渣打银行“一带一路”项目建设中的实践,尤其是在项目风险控制上的经验。他认为,随着“一带一路”建设迈向高质量发展阶段,“一带一路”项目应更加注重质量和多边性参与。

Mr.JoseVinals,GroupChairmanofStandardCharteredBank.recentlyreceivedaninterviewwithChinaBeltandRoadPortalandsharedthecompany'sexperienceinconductingtheBeltandRoadprojects,especiallyinriskscontrol.HebelievesthatasBeltandRoadprojectsaredevelopingfromquantity-focusedtoquality-focused,multilateralismwillbemoreimportantinthefuture.

Q1:在第二届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛开幕式上,主席发表了主旨演讲,您对其中的哪些观点印象深刻?

韦浩思:习主席的演讲令人非常振奋,秉承了开放的态度,再次向外界传递“一带一路”倡议是一个开放的平台,欢迎所有各方的参与。另外,习主席还强调了“一带一路”项目的可持续性,除了商业和财政的可持续性之外,环境方面的可持续性也非常重要。

Q1:WhatimpressesyoumostinPresidentXiJinping'skeynotespeech?

Vinals:Ithoughtitwasaveryinspiringspeech.Iwasimpressedbytheveryopentone.ItconveyedtheideathattheBeltandRoadInitiativeisnotanexclusiveclub,butaveryinclusiveclub,whichwelcomesthirdparties,multilateralparties,andtheeconomic,financial,andenvironmentalsustainabilityofprojectsisveryimportant.

Q2:主席在主旨演讲中指出,中国将更大范围地扩大外资市场准入,渣打银行计划如何抓住这一机遇,拓展在中国的业务?

韦浩思:渣打银行在中国已经有161年的历史。作为拥有最多金融牌照的国际银行之一,多年以来,渣打银行深度参与中国资本市场的合作,为中国资本市场发展做出贡献。我们与一些国际金融中心如伦敦、香港和新加坡等都有密切联系,我们能为中国带来大量投资。这也是我们可以发挥贡献的一个方面。渣打银行还长时间致力于推动人民币国际化,已经成为推动人民币国际化的重要力量。特别是在“一带一路”沿线国家,人民币作为支付货币在未来将发挥越来越重要的作用。

Q3:您如何评价“一带一路”倡议提出六年来取得的进展?

韦浩思:我认为“一带一路”倡议在基础设施方面发挥了非常重要的作用,基础设施建设促进许多国家和地区互联互通,从而带动贸易往来和经济发展。我认为在下一阶段需要综合考虑各个方面,不仅仅是项目的数量,项目的质量也十分重要。此外,正如主席所说,“一带一路”项目的多方参与也非常重要。“一带一路”倡议不光是中国和项目所在国的事情,也不光是中国和项目所在国才能获益,应该邀请尽可能多的参与方共同汇集力量,这样才能够使“一带一路”倡议获得更广泛的成效。

Q3:HowdoyouevaluatetheachievementsoftheBeltandRoadInitiativeoverthepastsixyears?

Q4:有分析认为,未来随着贸易面临较大调整压力,中国外汇储备有可能受到影响,使“一带一路”建设面临一定的资金挑战。对此你怎么看?

韦浩思:我并不同意这一观点,我认为“一带一路”跟中国的外汇储备是两码事。如果我们看一下中国的国际收支状况,现在的经常账户盈余比过去少,从长远看,出现赤字的可能性增加。但与此同时,随着中国资本市场的不断开放,中国的净资本流入也在增加。因此,我对未来的预期是,随着中国向国际资本市场进一步开放,将有越来越多的净资本流入中国,这将抵消那些减少的经常账户流入资金。因此,我认为没有任何迹象显示中国的外汇储备会大幅下降。

Q4:SomecriticsbelievethatChina'sforeignexchangereservesmaybereducedinthefutureasinternationaltradeisunderpressure.Underthiscircumstance,theBeltandRoadInitiativemayfacesomecapitalchallenges.What'syourtakeonthispointofview?

Q5:为什么渣打银行要将“一带一路”作为整个集团的战略重点?

韦浩思:我们在45个“一带一路”市场设有分支机构,深耕当地市场多年,十分了解当地的情况,清楚哪里可能出现风险。我们在基础设施建设、能源、水利和废物处理等领域积累了不少项目经验,能够为这些项目提供国际融资解决方案,这对“一带一路”项目而言是非常重要的。此外,我们在中国也已经运营了161年。因此,渣打银行将践行“一带一路”倡议作为企业发展重点是一件顺理成章的事情。

Q6:渣打银行采取怎样的措施,来预防和管控“一带一路”项目的相关风险?

韦浩思:仅2018年一年,渣打银行就参与了近100个“一带一路”相关项目,项目总金额达到200亿美元。我们参与的每个项目都经过非常仔细的研究,除了信用风险之外,行为操守风险、金融犯罪风险、环境风险和社会风险也都在考量范围之内。渣打银行设立了严格的风险管控标准,只有通过标准的项目才会考虑投资。我们建立了一套系统性的机制,用来分析“一带一路”项目的风险。

Q6:WhatmeasuresdoesStandardCharteredtaketopreventorcontrolrisksassociatedwithprojectsoftheBeltandRoadInitiative?
