人民币汇率为何能持续回升?
继去年年末人民币汇率反弹回升,并于12月夺回7.0关口后,人民币的上涨态势一直延续至2023年。对此,多方分析认为,近期人民币汇率上涨受多方面因素影响。
“人民币汇率上涨的原因之一是情绪面改善。”中国银行研究院高级研究员王有鑫接受中新财经采访时表示,随着疫情防控政策的逐渐优化,预计疫情对经济复苏的影响将减弱,经济社会生活将逐渐回归正轨,市场对于2023年经济增长信心更强。
王有鑫指出,汇率上涨得益于交易面的支撑。年底前后,出于流动性需要,企业结汇有所增加。境外机构对中国经济加快复苏的预期强化,纷纷看多人民币资产,跨境资本流入也在增加。
不仅如此,政策面的提振效应也在增强。
中国人民银行、国家外汇管理局12月30日发布公告称,自2023年1月3日起,银行间人民币外汇市场交易时间延长至北京时间次日3:00,人民币汇率中间价及浮动幅度、做市商报价等市场管理制度适用时间相应延长。
同日,中国外汇交易中心还调整了CFETS人民币汇率指数和SDR货币篮子人民币汇率指数货币篮子权重,美元、欧元、日元的权重均有所下降。
王有鑫表示,银行间人民币外汇市场交易时段的延长、货币篮子权重的调整以及美元权重的下调,进一步优化了汇率形成机制,拓展了外汇市场深度和广度,为全球投资者投资人民币资产以及进行风险对冲提供了更多便利。
“人民币汇率受发达经济体货币影响减弱,汇率形成的独立性和自主权提高,进一步强化了市场信心,使得汇率快速走高。”王有鑫称。
人民币汇率后续如何走?
开年就迎来开门红后,人民币汇率2023年的后续走势也备受关注。
中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬指出,整体看,2023年中国经济基本面持续修复和温和通胀,将有利于人民币汇率保持稳定。综合经济基本面与国际收支面考虑,预计2023年人民币汇率整体将呈现双向波动、温和回升、逐步趋近长期合理区间的走势。
“2023年中国经济将开启‘修复性复苏’模式,复苏的主要动能来自于抑制经济增长因素的消除。”温彬称。
他具体分析到,新冠疫情防控措施不断优化,将提振消费与投资信心,经济内生动力逐步恢复;房地产逐步由风险暴露期转向风险收敛期,融资改善与信心恢复将成为主要特征,行业逐步转向健康稳定发展的新阶段,地产对整体经济开始由负面冲击转为中性;通胀将保持温和,一方面内需复苏将促使核心通胀均值回归和中枢上移,另一方面输入型通胀压力减轻,则将有利于限制通胀涨幅。
在王有鑫看来,2023年预计人民币汇率将延续波动回升态势。随着各地疫情形势逐渐接近达峰并好转,人员流动、交通、餐饮、消费等领域活动将逐渐恢复,市场信心将进一步增强。而欧美等经济体经济增长压力将加快显现,货币政策放缓或转向的讨论将逐渐升温,美元大概率持续回落,对人民币的制约效应减弱。
“在全球经济普遍衰退背景下,中国经济和人民币资产将成为全球亮点,吸引跨境资本继续流入。”王有鑫称。(完)
中新网评:处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事****** 中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称,将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对,企图将核污水“一倒了之”,把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。 ![]() 2011年,福岛核电站事故发生后,大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋,对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害,数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日,作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。 日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由,在2021年4月13日,正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多,日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。 日本政府辩称,这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全,甚至“可以喝”,这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。 事实上,经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质,核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收,长期来看,将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁,最终危害人类健康。 因此,核污水排海计划推出后,遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示,福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中,约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场,反对该计划。 日本政府认为,核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案,但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海,核污水会随着洋流流动,其影响势必会跨越国界,危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。 《韩国经济新闻》发文称,相关研究认为,福岛核污水如果排放入海,约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域,该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。 德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告,若日本将所有核污水排入海中,不到半年,整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁,包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。 日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国,有义务保护海洋环境。然而,在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上,日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。 国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估,但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论,并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下,日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设,这是极不负责任的行为。 太平洋不是日本的下水道,日本必须正视各方合理关切,在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后,制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远,若只顾眼前,执意将核污水排放入海,不仅其自身,周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单,其后果必将会危害数代人。 ![]() Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business By John Lee (ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year. Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business. The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year. The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public. In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run. Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public. The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution. The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community. The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses. According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan. As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment. However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact. Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad. The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies. If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence. ![]()
