V skladu z obljubo premiera Wen Jiabaa o ‘nadzorovanem umirjanju’ gospodarske rasti na približno 8 odstotkov letno, izrečeno ob začetku zasedanja kitajskega ljudskega kongresa, je centralna banka (People’s Bank of China) konec zasedanja zakonodajnega telesa pospremila z dvigom obrestnih mer.

“The rate increase is conducive to the reasonable growth of credit and investment, to stabilizing prices, to the stable operation of the financial system, to balancing growth and improving the structure of the economy, and to promoting the healthy but rapid development of the economy,” the central bank said in an online statement.

Vlagateljev na šanghajski borzi ob današnjem začetku trgovanja dvig vodilnih obrestnih mer očitno ni vznemiril.

Ljudski kongres pa je zadnji dan zasedanja minuli petek sprejel dva ‘prelomna‘ zakona: o lastninski pravici in davku na dobiček pravnih oseb. Lastninski zakon je bil sprejet po petih letih in sedmih ‘branjih’, od skoraj 3000 poslancev zakonodajnega telesa pa jih je 52 glasovalo proti. Državna, kolektivna, individualna in druga lastnina v skladu s tem zakonom uživata enako zaščito.

The 247-article law, which is due to come into effect as of October 1, 2007, stipulates that “the property of the state, the collective, the individual and other obligees is protected by law, and no units or individuals may infringe upon it”. This is the first time that equal protection to state and private properties has been enshrined in a Chinese law, which analysts say marks a significant step in the country’s efforts to further economic reforms and boost social harmony. China’s state and private properties once suffered from serious violations due to a lack of respect for and protection of property rights.

Zakon o davku na dobiček pravnih oseb pa s petletnim prehodnim obdobjem ukinja dosedanjo nižjo stopnjo (15 odstotkov) za tuje vlagatelje in jih na 25 odstotkih izenačuje s podjetji v domači lasti.

I don’t think we’re going to see a radical shift in foreign investment attitude to China as a result of this. I think what it will do in the short term is mean people go back to the drawing board, recalculate the economic benefits associated with either an existing or a proposed investment into the country. But it will also result in the short term in I think considerable confusion in terms of how certain aspects of that law is meant to apply. And over time, that confusion will die down. We now have a system that does not discriminate between the two classes of players in the market.
