On September 24, the financial secretary, Mr Patrick Pang, slapped himself in the face and changed his mouth to announce that the Hong Kong government still wanted to stabilize the Hong Kong dollar, and then it was strangely silent. It goes without saying what this represents in a man with a clear eye.
Surprisingly, more than a week later, financial secretary Peng Lizhi "pretended to be a corpse". At present, his signed article appeared in Xiahua morning post, an English newspaper with the largest sales volume and most recognized by the elite of Xiangjiang, which analyzed the hot spots of Xiangjiang at present, such as the implementation of the improved currency board system and the independent operation of the exchange fund being discussed by the Hong Kong government.
The content naturally reflects the insight that Peng Lizhi, who is still holding the title of financial secretary, should have. As for the style of writing, he goes straight, or even impolitely, pointing out that the complex connection with a basket of international currency exchange rate system makes the Hong Kong dollar less simple and transparent than before, increasing the trouble of international trade in Xiangjiang, At the same time, it also virtually increases the power of the exchange fund authority. For example, it affects the banking industry through the linkage of interest rate and exchange rate.
At the same time, the exchange fund authority will use a variety of international currencies to build Xiangjiang's foreign exchange reserves. On the surface, it has shared the risks, but in fact, it has dispersed the assets of Xiangjiang exchange fund of only a few billion US dollars, weakening the defensive ability of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate. Unless the asset scale of Xiangjiang exchange fund can really realize Sir Gao's commitment of more than 30 billion US dollars, And continue to grow at a high speed.
Of course, Peng Lizhi also admitted that in the current special period when Xiangjiang financial order needs to be recast, it seems that we can only refer to Sir Gao's ideas to form a solution.
It can be said that Peng Lizhi's eloquent analysis is not new, because it has not been a long time since the Hong Kong government's official position to stabilize the Hong Kong dollar, but various interest driven debates have exposed a considerable number of problems to the public.
However, this article still attracted considerable attention, because Peng Lizhi later put forward some of his own solutions, including that, in view of the special functions and status of the exchange fund authority, it should assist Huifeng as the lender of last resort of Xiangjiang banking industry; In order to help the exchange fund enhance its strength in stabilizing the Hong Kong dollar, the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking industry is placed in the exchange fund.
This formulation can be described as "fresh". After all, no one has remembered to move Huifeng, the overlord of Xiangjiang banking industry.
After the sensation caused by this article eased slightly, various interpretations naturally followed.
The first point is that Peng Lizhi, who has a quarrel with Gao Xian, took the opportunity to give Sir Gao eye medicine.
The reason is obvious. The independent operation of the exchange fund in Xiangjiang belongs to a new era. It is the so-called that everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is best to pack light. The responsibility of the lender of last resort is tantamount to a burden, that is, using the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking as an incentive can not offset the increased pressure.
In addition, it is worth pondering that Huifeng is certainly not happy to be shared by the last lender, but is it willing to transfer out the settlement balance account of the whole Xiangjiang banking system.
You know, this implies the associated special monopoly interests. There is interest when there is an account, and Huifeng has been privileged to use the balance of this account for free for so many years.
At this time, Shen Bi, Huifeng's senior class, was very angry with Peng Lizhi for this problem. I asked you to find an excuse to plug the last lender into the exchange fund. How can you send out the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking as a chip?
Peng Lizhi, who takes all the benefits and is satisfied with them, looks like he doesn't care. You yourself say that since Huifeng is going to withdraw from Xiangjiang, will the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking industry be handed over sooner or later?
Shen Bi's nose is almost crooked. Handing over the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking is indeed an arrangement for Huifeng to withdraw from Xiangjiang's secret plan, but it's so cheap that if you can take more, you can take more. There's no need to rush at all.
Peng Lizhi sneered. You are so smart that you habitually treat others as fools. Huifeng gets rid of the burden of the lender of last resort. Of course, it is comfortable. In the process of business internationalization, when purchasing other banks, the other party will not worry about the risk of Huifeng and Xiangjiang being bound together. But look at the talk of various think tanks these days, What kind of clever plan can really hide the actual purpose behind it?
Gao Xian is now busy with the establishment of the Exchange Fund Management Bureau, regardless of your calculations and the assistance of Huifeng. Indeed, he can only recognize it by holding his nose, but do you dare to guarantee that other forces will not pierce that layer of window paper?
Since the settlement balance accounts of Xiangjiang banking industry have to be handed over sooner or later, it's better to maximize the value as a chip to distract the attention of external analysis. In addition, I, an influential middleman at present, is the proponent, and the possibility of exposing Huifeng's secret plan is greatly reduced.
Peng Lizhi's explanation sounds reasonable, but Shen Bi is still unwilling. It's so cheap that he handed it in so early. He really can't bear it.
Even, Shen Bi vaguely began to doubt whether Peng Lizhi was playing tricks and secretly helped Gao Xian find a venue. But on second thought, Peng Lizhi and Gao Xian had a bad relationship, and no one knew up and down the Xiangjiang River. The possibility of their collusion was very small.
On the other hand, in terms of the seamless degree of work, Peng Lizhi did a good job, and Huifeng was picked clean, which did not arouse the slightest doubt from the outside world, and even gave Huifeng the reputation of taking the overall situation into account.
OK, just hand over the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking. Shen Bi has no objection with great pain, but it's not popular to do things step by step. Giving up the cheap can't be achieved in one step, and it should be reflected in the amendment of the exchange fund regulations.
Peng Lizhi shrugged and said with a disgusted face that this more specific operation requires contact with Gao Xian. I'm too lazy to see him more. You'd better negotiate on your own.
It's OK. It's just a side attack. In the process of Huifeng losing the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang bank, did Gao Xian play an unspeakable role? So Shen Bi bumpily found Sir Gao, and after a few words of greeting, he began to cheat him.
Sir Gao smiled bitterly. Do you think I'm not busy enough? And take care of yourself? Otherwise, in the amendment of the Exchange Fund Ordinance, such a restriction is added to the exchange fund's discretionary use of the settlement balance account of Xiangjiang banking. Should Huifeng be relieved?
Shen Bi had nothing to say, so he had to leave.
Ma Jingxi, who came to communicate and took over as chairman of Gaoyi's board of directors, sighed: "the situation in the last month is really unpredictable. I didn't expect Huifeng to be so good at talking and be willing to spit out such a big piece of fat."
Even if the other party is his own cheap father-in-law, there is no need to tell all the secrets, so Gao Xian just smiled and said: "in my opinion, because the general situation is different, the ghost guys with evil intentions have over calculated so much that they put themselves in, so they have to talk so well."
