学者:习近平不属团派 胡锦涛平衡各政治力量

● 吴新慧(上海特派员)

  研究中国问题的学者认为,中央任命并非团派出身的习近平出任上海的第一把手,对即将到

来的中共十七大人事布局具有战略意义。尽管团派势力正在中共领导层内逐步扩大和巩固,但平

衡党内各政治力量,减少派系斗争的不稳定性来保持党领导的稳定,是中共总书记胡锦涛在十七

大布局和第五代班子人选上的重要考虑,也是一大挑战。团派、太子党及有上海工作经验的干部

,都还将在这个过程中继续磨合、谈判及协作。

  英国诺丁汉大学中国研究所教授、研究主任郑永年在接受本报的电邮访问时说,自去年以来

,上海市委书记这个职位一直被视为具有指标意义。属于团派的全国政协副主席、中央委员刘延

东一直被盛传会被调派担任这个职位。现在并不属于团派的习近平被任命为上海书记,这表明胡

锦涛超越于所谓的各个派系之上。

  郑永年说:“至少可以说,他必须能够平衡各政治力量。这也就是中共十七大所必然面临的

其中一个最重要的挑战。这一步走的很好。”

  据本报了解,中央是在两三个星期前决定调任习近平领导上海。也有消息说,他在中央宣布

这决定的前几天已到上海,只是没公开露面。

  郑永年注意到,最近几年来,外界对胡锦涛及其团派的议论非常多,中国内部没有公开讨论

,但人们私底下的议论也非常多。而这一点中共领导层是了解的。胡锦涛出自团中央,人们自然

会认为他在构建团派的政治力量。事实上,团派是中国政治中的一支重要力量,也是胡锦涛的支

持力量。

  不过他坚持认为,说胡锦涛代表团派“并不确切”。他说,胡是中共总书记、国家主席,不应

当只是团派的总书记、团派的国家主席,而应当是全党的总书记,和全国人民的国家主席。

  “对派系政治不能过分夸张。”郑永年在原上海市委书记陈良宇被革职后,曾撰文表示不应该

只片面理解这是团派与上海势力斗争的结果,而应该对中国体制的运作作更深层次的思考。这次

代理市委书记有六个月的上海市长韩正未能扶正,一些分析人员及境外媒体的报道即认为,这显

示胡锦涛为首的中共领导核心对上海干部仍是不放心。而习近平是属于前总书记江泽民派系,他

被调任到上海,是胡锦涛团派势力的一种政治妥协。

  郑永年对此有不同看法。他不认为习近平是所谓江泽民派的人物。“如果要说属于哪一派,

那么应当说是所谓的‘太子党’。”

  他说,太子党在邓小平时代被压下去,很多人转向了商业活动。但在江泽民时代以来又开始

回到政治领域。而所谓的太子党中,有很多非常能干的人物。他们一般教育水平高,工作经济丰

富,专业水平也很高。或许他们的升迁和他们的父亲有关,“但他们的能力是第一位的”。实际上

,他们中的一些主要人物包括习近平,都能让党内接受,也让社会接受。一般认为,这些人政治

意识高,有能力和责任来维护、改革和发展他们父辈所打下的江山。或者说,他们具有政治上可

靠的特点。

美专家:

调任习近平是政治妥协

  在郑永年看来,习近平的任命还有其本身的能力的因素。这包括他具有足够的地方工作经验

来管治上海这个重要的城市。此外,他也有良好的中央关系和中央沟通。“对上海来说,因为其

在浙江的工作经验,上海干部也比较容易接受习。”

  美国著名智库布鲁金斯学会(Brookings Institution)中国问题专家李成教授也认为,习

近平从县级领导一步步做起,到后来大部分时间在福建省及浙江省工作的经验,政治履历和专业

经验丰富,这也使他和当前几名50多岁的政治精英一样,被视为是“天王级”政治明星。

  李成教授说,习近平属于江泽民派系“是肯定的”。他和也是江系的国家副主席曾庆红“关系

密切”。所以习近平被调任领导上海,政治信息是很明显的,“那就是中央不是要整治打压上海势

力,是政治妥协的结果”。

  不过,李成教授也认为,习近平的调任是有考虑到上海的特殊地位和实际工作需要。习近平

的亲民和实干,以及他在领导浙江时有效推行国有企业私有化等政绩,都使他成为领导正在重点

发展金融和服务业的上海的理想人选。

  虽然此前盛传属于团派的刘延东会接任上海市委书记职务,李成教授认为她缺乏金融、经济

和外交等方面的经验,对领导上海这么一个重要的国家经济重镇并不利。因此调派来自长三角区

域的习近平到上海,被抗拒的情绪会比空降刘延东来得低。“所以这当中是有种种考虑的。”

  至于不再代理市委书记职务,恢复到市委副书记身份的上海市长韩正,有分析人员认为他的

仕途可能就到此为止,一直关注着中共政治和十七大布局的李成教授则不以为然。以他的推测,

韩正迟早会调到其他地方当高干,甚至可能会和北京市长王岐山、天津市长戴相龙,以及重庆市

委书记汪洋等地方领导,成为负责金融事务的国务院副总理的人选之一。

  一般相信,当前主理金融及经济事务的副总理黄菊、吴仪等会在本届任满后退任。李成教授

说:“韩正是不会被亏待的,他这次没扶正,相信是另有安排,并不是被打压。”

他进一步解释说,中共当前由有上海工作经验的干部、海归派、企业家组成的“精英联盟”,岁数

偏高。像韩正这样50多岁的“精英联盟”干部屈指可数,央行行长周小川是其一。

  他相信,擅长党组织、宣传、统战等工作的“团派”高干,仍需要有对金融、外交、外贸等专

业经验的“精英联盟”高干来补足。所以十七大的人事布局,还是会看到这两大势力组成政治精英

进行合作,互补和相互制衡。

  李成教授在陈良宇被革职后发表的一篇文章曾指出,中共高层的内部权力搏弈,已不再是过

去那种此消彼长的零和游戏,而是党内两大派政治力量的不断磨合、谈判,以及进行必要的妥协

与合作,以求取自己力量的存在。

Well, we finally have an answer. Zhejiang party secretary Xi Jinping will serve as the party secretary of Shanghai, replacing acting secretary Han Zheng. Of course we know that Xi Jinping is a princeling, whose father is elder Xi Zhongxun. Xi Jinping, at a young age of 54, will almost certainly enter the Politburo at the 17th Party Congress, and will still be in excellent shape five years from now to enter the Standing Committee of the Politburo at age 59.

As a princeling, Xi has excellent connection with Zeng Qinghong, which probably explains his appointment. I am glad Hu Jintao decided against insisting on Liu Yandong as the party secretary of Shanghai. It really is probably a complex matter managing such a large city and bureaucracy. It takes someone with experience in a similarly complex environment, like Xi Jinping, to take hold of the beast. Xi was a long-time official in Fujian Province and recently in Zhejiang Province. He is one of the most qualified for the job in the CCP hierarchy.

As I speculated on the blog earlier, it is shaping up that Xi is Zeng's chosen successor for the Zeng Qinghong/Jiang Zemin line within the party. We now wait and see who Hu Jintao's annointed sucessor is. Again, as suggested by earlier speculation, it is seems that there will be at least two chosen successors competing with each other for the next few years.

Note, in the picture below, Han Zheng is looking terribly unhappy, in contrast to Xi's swagger. The rumor is that Han may even be rotated away from Shanghai in the near future for a "promotion" to some western province. Ah, Chinese politics......

   贺国强在讲话中强调,上海是国际性大都市,也是我国最大的经济中心城市,在我国国民经济中具有举足轻重的地位。改革开放以来,在党中央、国务院正确领导 下,在全国人民大力支持下,历届市委、市政府团结全市广大干部群众抢抓机遇、奋发图强,在经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设和党的建设等方面都取得 了显著成绩,使上海成为我国改革开放和现代化建设的排头兵,为国家作出了巨大贡献。这些成绩的取得,是全市广大干部群众团结奋斗、辛勤工作的结果。中央认 为上海的干部队伍是好的,对上海的广大干部是充分信任的。

  贺国强指出,去年9月,中央决定查处上海社保资金案,并对陈良宇同志严重违 纪问题立案检查,同时决定由韩正同志代理上海市委书记职务。半年来,韩正同志带领市委“一班人”,坚决贯彻执行中央的指示精神,紧紧依靠全市广大干部群 众,一方面全力支持配合中央工作组的查案工作,另一方面加强领导,狠抓工作落实,保持了全市各项工作的有序推进。中央对上海这段时间的工作是满意的,对韩 正同志这段时间的工作是肯定的。

  贺国强指出,中央对上海的工作一直十分重视。最近,胡锦涛总书记就加强上海市领导班子建设和做好全市 当前各项工作又作了重要指示,我们要认真学习贯彻。这次上海市委书记的配备,是从全国工作的大局出发,充分考虑上海市的特殊地位和领导班子建设的实际,根 据工作需要和干部交流的精神,经过认真比选、反复酝酿、慎重研究决定的。

  贺国强说,习近平同志政治上强,有较高的思想政策水平;熟悉 党务和经济工作,宏观决策能力比较强,领导经验丰富,组织领导和驾驭全局能力强;注重抓班子、带队伍,坚持民主集中制原则,讲究领导艺术和工作方法;作风 深入务实,关心群众;处事稳重,公道正派,善于团结人,要求自己严格。中央认为,习近平同志担任上海市委书记是合适的。相信习近平同志一定会在中央的正确 领导下,紧紧依靠市委、市人大、市政府、市政协领导班子和全市广大干部群众,解放思想,与时俱进,开拓创新,扎实工作,进一步加快改革和发展步伐,推动上 海市经济和社会各项事业不断取得新的成绩。

  贺国强指出,胡锦涛总书记在中央纪委第七次全会上的重要讲话,突出强调要全面加强新形势下 各级领导干部的作风建设,大力倡导八个方面的良好风气,努力实现领导干部作风的进一步转变。中央严肃查处上海社保资金案和陈良宇同志严重违纪问题,充分表 明中央弘扬正气、惩治腐败的坚强决心,同时也给各级领导干部再次敲响了警钟。我们要深刻认识反腐败斗争的长期性、复杂性、艰巨性,始终坚持党要管党、从严 治党的方针,旗帜鲜明、毫不动摇地推进党风廉政建设和反腐败工作,切实加强思想作风建设,加强对领导干部行使权力的监督,坚决反对以权谋私、权钱交易、权 色交易,自觉抵御腐朽思想侵蚀,不断提高拒腐防变能力。要严格依法依纪,严肃惩处少数腐败分子,又要尽量教育和挽救犯错误的同志。

  贺 国强指出,刚刚结束的全国“两会”,对全国今年经济社会发展的目标任务进行了全面部署,要求坚持以科学发展观统领经济社会发展全局,紧紧围绕推动科学发 展、促进社会和谐,全面加快小康社会建设,为党的十七大召开创造良好的环境和条件。2010年,上海将举办世博会。胡锦涛总书记最近强调,办好世博会,是 上海实现科学发展的重要契机,也是上海今后一个时期发展的重要推动力,一定要把这个机遇用好。我们一定要认真学习贯彻胡锦涛总书记的重要指示和全国“两 会”精神,抓住筹办世博会这个机遇,把全市人民的积极性和创造性凝聚到科学发展的轨道上来,聚精会神搞建设,一心一意谋发展,深化改革,扩大开放,切实解 决好群众普遍关心的就业、社会保障、教育、医疗、住房等民生问题,加快推进社会主义和谐社会建设,努力实现上海经济社会又好又快发展。

   贺国强指出,今年上半年,上海市将要召开第九次党代表大会,全面总结本届市委的工作,研究和部署今后一个时期上海的各项工作。开好党代会,搞好换届,选 举产生新一届市委领导集体,有利于更好地调动全市广大干部群众的积极性和创造性,凝聚人心,振奋精神,激励全市人民投身于改革开放和社会主义现代化建设事 业。市委对此要高度重视,切实加强领导,精心组织,周密安排,严明纪律,确保党代会顺利召开。

  习近平在讲话中说,中央决定调我到上海 工作,这是党和人民对我的信任和重托,深感责任重大。我坚决服从中央的决定,决心在以胡锦涛同志为总书记的党中央领导下,团结市委“一班人”和市级各套班 子成员,依靠全市广大干部群众,尽早尽快适应新环境,尽心尽力做好新工作,尽职尽责履行新任务,决不辜负党和人民的期望。

  习近平指 出,上海作为中国最大的城市和国际著名的大都市,是一个充满生机和活力的地方。解放后特别是改革开放以来,上海创造了辉煌成就,为服务全国大局作出了巨大 贡献。上海人民勤劳智慧、精明开明,富有创造性;上海干部思想解放、奋发有为,整体素质高。党中央、国务院历来高度重视上海的发展,对上海寄予厚望,明确 要求上海努力建设国际经济、金融、贸易、航运中心。进入新世纪新阶段,胡锦涛总书记殷切期望上海率先转变经济增长方式、率先提高自主创新能力、率先推进改 革开放、率先构建社会主义和谐社会。在党中央的正确领导下,历届上海市委、市政府带领全市人民团结奋斗,开拓进取,不断探索中国特色、时代特征、上海特点 的发展新路,使上海的城市综合竞争力显著增强,国际影响力明显提升,人民生活水平不断提高,正在向努力实现“四个率先”、加快建设“四个中心”的目标迈 进。我相信,有以胡锦涛同志为总书记的党中央的正确领导,有邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想和科学发展观的指引,有历届市委、市政府打下的良好基础,有 市委“一班人”的团结奋斗,有市人大、市政府、市政协各套班子的协调配合,有一支好的干部队伍和广大人民群众的共同努力,有驻沪解放军、武警部队的大力支 持,我们一定会齐心协力加快推进科学发展、和谐发展,努力使上海各项事业在现有基础上取得新的成就。

  习近平表示,我一定要在原有基础 上,不负重托,不辱使命,不懈努力,忠实履行自身职责,兢兢业业做好工作。一要当好学生。认真学习邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想、《江泽民文选》、科 学发展观等一系列重大战略思想,坚持理论联系实际,做到学以致用。要虚心向上海干部群众学习,加强调查研究,深入基层,深入群众,深入实际,边学边干,尽 快了解情况、熟悉人员、适应环境。二要当好公仆。按照胡锦涛总书记提出的“为民、务实、清廉”和树立“八个方面良好风气”的要求,始终坚持以人为本的理 念,既保持开拓进取、克难攻坚的勇气锐气,又坚持一心为民、艰苦奋斗的良好作风,体察民情,倾听民意,注重民生,尽力为上海人民多办实事、多办好事。要坚 持廉洁自律、从严要求,自觉接受监督并欢迎大家监督,努力做践行社会主义荣辱观和良好风气的带头人,以实际行动当好人民公仆。三要带好队伍。我始终认为, 个人的作用是有限的,工作是靠大家干出来的。要按照提高党的执政能力和保持先进性的要求,进一步加强市委领导班子的自身建设,总揽全局,协调各方,坚决贯 彻民主集中制原则,进一步健全和完善各项制度,全面加强各级领导班子和干部队伍建设,以实际行动向党和人民交上一份合格的答卷。

  习近 平指出,上海当前的工作,当务之急,要集中精力做好召开市第九次党代会的各项筹备工作,确保党代会顺利召开。要通过开好党代会,进一步明确今后一个时期的 目标和任务,激发全市党员干部和广大人民群众的积极性和创造精神,真正形成团结奋进干事业的良好局面。第二,要引导上海广大干部群众抓住机遇,聚精会神搞 建设,一心一意谋发展。发展是我们党执政兴国的第一要务,必须始终坚持。上海的中心工作仍然是坚持发展、加快发展,坚持以人为本、全面协调可持续的科学发 展,这符合广大人民群众的根本利益。第三,要注重民生,抓好构建社会主义和谐社会各方面的工作。要引导各级干部切实关注民生,想群众之所想,急群众之所 急,切实解决好群众普遍关心的就业、社会保障、教育、医疗、住房等民生问题,大力营造构建社会主义和谐社会的良好氛围和环境。第四,要弘扬正气,惩治腐 败,加强党风廉政建设。反腐倡廉是一项长期任务,必须坚持不懈地抓下去,不这样就会给党的事业造成危害,广大干部群众也会有意见。反腐倡廉要突出重点,尤 其要加强对领导干部的监督、教育和作风建设。要教育广大干部弘扬正气,廉洁自律,自觉发扬党的优良传统和优良作风,自觉抵制各种腐朽落后思想观念的侵蚀, 真正做到为民、务实、清廉。

  韩正在讲话中表示,坚决拥护中央决定。他说,中央从全国工作大局出发,决定由习近平同志担任上海市委书 记,这是进一步加强上海市委领导班子的需要,是进一步做好上海工作的需要。我们一定要立足全局,充分认识中央决定的重大意义,在任何时候、任何情况下都始 终与党中央在思想上、政治上、行动上保持高度一致,把思想和行动统一到中央精神上来,坚决执行中央的决策部署。

  韩正表示,将全力支 持、配合和协助习近平同志工作,尽心尽力尽责做好工作,顾全大局,维护好上海团结和谐稳定的良好局面。一如既往,脚踏实地,勤奋工作。始终以党和人民的利 益为重,坚持立党为公、执政为民,继续保持开拓进取、奋发有为的精神状态,求真务实、廉洁奉公、甘于奉献,按照中央要求,在市委领导下,为党的事业和上海 发展竭尽全力、努力工作,为上海的百姓多干实事、多做好事。

Well, it's getting increasingly official. The name of the forex investment company will be Lianhui Company, suggesting the joint forces of the PBOC and the MOF. It will manage around 200-250 billion USD and may begin with investment in energy enterprises. I also attach, by popular demand, the google translate text.

国家外汇投资公司召开首次筹备会 首批投资能源类企业
2007-03-16 08:48:21
  正在参加两会的有关人士透露,新任国务院副秘书长楼继伟昨日主持召开部际联
席会议,论证国家外汇投资公司的组建筹备、定位、组织架构等问题。财政部、央行
、银监会、证监会、保监会等十多个部门的相关负责人参加了会议。这是为组建国家
外汇投资公司召开的第一次筹备会。

  有报道称,新公司将采用“联汇”这一名称。但权威人士表示,目前汇金公司下
面已经存在一个联汇公司,因此采用这一名称的可能性很小。围绕这个机构目前最核
心的问题是它的性质和定位问题。公司管理资金的规模等事项目前都没有确定,是接
下来才讨论的问题。

  今年两会期间,关于国家外汇投资公司的消息成为海内外共同关注的焦点。在3
月9日全国人大举行的新闻发布会上,财政部部长金人庆在澄清有关“马路新闻”的
同时也表示,国务院最近作了研究,考虑怎么样把正常的外汇储备和外汇投资分开来
管理。正常的外汇储备继续由外汇管理局来管理和运营,另外组建一个由国务院领导
的,而不是财政部领导的外汇投资公司。该公司将借鉴国际上的一些成功经验,包括
像新加坡淡马锡这样的公司,从事外汇的投资管理,在保证安全的前提下,尽可能使
外汇经营有更多的盈利和效益。这个公司正在筹建组织过程中。

  国家外汇管理局局长胡晓炼随后表示,总理在今年工作报告中已经提到积极探索
和拓宽外汇储备使用渠道和方式,因此,国家外汇投资公司今年年内应该会成立。至
于公司将具体管理多少规模的外汇,目前还没有讨论到这么实际的环节,因为公司组
建、人才选取、机构搭建等方面需要一个过程。

  在公司的投资渠道方面,央行副行长吴晓灵透露:“最起码汇金公司现在投资的
金融股肯定是一部分,此外,大家还谈到一些战略投资。”

  相关:国家外汇投资公司将首批对能源类企业进行投资

  来源:世华财讯

  暂定名为“联汇公司”的国家外汇投资管理公司将于年内成立,首批将发行相当
于2000亿-2500亿美元的人民币债券,同时首批投资对象为对类似于中海油
等能源企业的战略投资。

  据新华社3月14日报道,暂定名为“联汇公司”的国家外汇投资管理公司将于
年内成立。据知情人士透露,组建该公司的主要负责人为前任财政部副部长、现任国
务院副秘书长楼继伟;首批将发行相当于2000亿-2500亿美元的人民币债券
;首批投资对象为对类似于中海油等能源企业的战略投资。

  国家外汇管理局局长胡晓炼两会间隙也称,外汇投资公司将于2007年成立,
目前该公司正在紧锣密鼓地筹建之中。

  据了解,外汇投资公司之所为定名为“联汇”,主要是仿效当年“联办”的思路
。联汇公司将在央行、外汇局、财政部等多部门的协调下组建。由出任国务院副秘书
长的楼继伟负责组建,有利于从国务院层面来协调部门利益。这与财政部部长金人庆
此前表示“将由国务院统一领导”外汇投资公司的说法相符。有分析人士称,楼继伟
此后将有可能担任联汇公司董事长,未来联汇公司总经理的人选将很可能出自央行或
者外汇局。

  胡晓炼还称,新的外汇投资公司会在汇金的基础上组建,所以可能会有汇金公司
的人。她透露,“联汇公司”目前要做的工作还比较多,包括投资方向、相关的组织
结构、人才都要经过一段时间的考虑。她表示,外汇投资公司应该会考虑聘请国际上
专业的人才来管理,且不排除国际基金经理型的人才。

  据知情人士透露,联汇公司目前已经确定首批将发行相当于2000亿-250
0亿美元的人民币债券,然后向央行购买相应额度的外汇进行投资,购汇额度相当于
目前1万亿美元外汇储备的20%-25%,此后的外汇管理额度将逐步扩大。联汇
公司首批投资对象为类似于中海油等的能源型企业,投资方式为长期战略投资。不过
,胡晓炼称外汇投资规模目前仍未确定。

  业内专家指出,成立外汇投资公司的原本目的在于分流超额部分的外汇储备,进
行专业化的投资管理,以提高外汇资金运用的效率和效益。所以,如果外汇投资公司
未来成为吸收流动性的主角之一,央行目前常规调控手段的力度可能减弱,对证券市
场的冲击也会更少。

State Administration of Foreign Exchange investment company held its
first preparatory meeting is the first investment in energy enterprises


to participate in two categories of the sources, Lou Jiwei, the new
deputy secretary general of the State Council yesterday held a joint
inter-ministerial meeting, demonstration organized preparations for the
State Administration of Foreign Exchange investment company, location,

departments in charge of more than 10 people attended the meeting. This
is for the formation of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange

that the new company will have a "link" to the title. But authorities
said so far, the company has been under the surface there is a link
companies Therefore, it has adopted the name is very unlikely. Focusing
on this sector is the most core issue of the nature and location. Fund
management company has not determined the size of the current issues,
the question comes down discussion. During the two sessions this year,

news became the focus of attention at home and abroad together. In

State Council. instead of the Ministry of Finance led by foreign

Lou Jiwei, a close protege of former Premier Zhu Rongji, has been promoted to the deputy secretary general of the State Council yesterday. This means that he and the investment organ he leads, will not be a puppet of the MOF or the PBOC, but will have the same rank as the two agencies. Also, as deputy secretary general, you are literally suppose to serve as the secretary for the premier or a vice premier, so is Lou's appointment in name only to give him the administrative cloute, or will he report to the next Vice Premier in charge of finance? Issues to work out: who will sit on the board (will there be a board?); how large will it be? How much asset will it invest itself, and how much will it farm out? I see a bright future for Lou, but then I said that about Qiu Xiaohua earlier........

Beijing Appoints Official To State Council Position

By RICK CAREW
March 7, 2007

BEIJING -- China confirmed the appointment of a senior Finance Ministry official as deputy secretary-general of the State Council yesterday, to lead preparations for a new agency that will more actively manage the country's foreign-exchange reserves.

Lou Jiwei, 56 years old, formerly a vice minister of finance, has been promoted to the ministry-level post, the State Council said on its Web site.

A person familiar with the situation said in February that Mr. Lou would be appointed to the position. Yesterday's government statement didn't mention his role in the agency, which is expected to manage a portion of the country's $1.07 trillion in reserves.

Financial markets are closely watching China's plans for the new entity -- in the works since late last year -- for signs of how much of the country's reserves will be shifted out of safe assets such as U.S. Treasurys and into higher-yielding, more-strategic investments.

Economists expect between $200 billion and $300 billion of the reserves to be allocated to the new agency.

Mr. Lou, an English speaker, was a key member of former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji's unofficial brain trust of young economists, alongside current People's Bank of China Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan and China Construction Bank Corp. Chairman Guo Shuqing. Under Mr. Zhu's leadership all three helped shape China's financial overhauls in recent years.

Mr. Lou is known as one of the architects of China's 1994 tax overhauls, credited with boosting national revenue and strengthening the central government's grip on provincial governments.

He holds a master's degree in economics from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a prominent government think tank and educational institution, and has served in numerous financial-policy positions in the government.

Before becoming vice minister of finance, he was a vice governor of the southwestern province of Guizhou.

Few details have emerged about the exact scope of the agency's investment. Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan has advocated that China invest more of its foreign-exchange reserves in strategic assets such as oil.

Mr. Lou's title of State Council deputy secretary-general indicates the new agency will be managed directly by the State Council, rather than fall under a particular ministry's authority.

So, at the CPPCC session in Beijing, Vice Governor of PBOC Wu Xiaolin, who is also a CPPCC delegate, admited that Huijin will become a part of the new forex investment fund. This is the first such public admission. Note, however, she would only concede that the new fund will own some share of Huijin, which means it may not be the majority share. I still think the PBOC will fight hard on this for either a fairly large representation on the board of the new investment fund, or to retain some independent control over Huijin, or, ideally, both. One tactic seems to be constraining the size of the new investment fund such that it won't be capitalized enough to own a large share of Huijin.

吴晓灵首次确认成立外汇投资公司

  一直以来,过万亿的

外汇储备如何实现保值增值已经成为决策层一块“心病”,而这一问题的解决方案终于在日前浮出水面。中国
人民银行
副行长吴晓灵3月3日在列席全国政协十届五次会议开幕式时表示,目前外汇投资管理公司正处于研究和筹备过程当中,具体成立时间要看筹备进度才能确定。这是央行官员首次就国家设立外汇投资管理公司问题进行表态。

  吴晓灵透露,未来成立的外汇投资管理公司将跟中央汇金公司有关系,也可以说汇金公司将会是这个公司的一个组成部分。但她同时表示,汇金公司的角 色不会完全改变。业内人士分析,这或许意味该公司不会采取新设的方式,而是将在汇金公司的基础上进行改造。而国家的外汇投向最终由筹备组进行研究和决定, 但目前汇金公司在金融股领域的投资以及我国目前在一些战略方面的投资,未来将成为这家公司外汇投向的组成部分。

  据了解,中央汇金公司成立于2003年12月16日,是经国务院批准组建的国有独资投资公司。在国有银行改制上市过程中,汇金公司曾代表国家对中国银行(4.73,0.05,1.07%)、中国建设银行等重点金融企业行使出资人的权利和义务。

  针对业界一直猜测的外汇投资管理公司管理的规模问题,吴晓灵否认了2000亿美元的说法。她表示,外汇投资管理公司管理的外汇规模并无绝对标准,应考虑各方面情况综合考订。比如买来的外汇向哪些领域进行投资。

和平
