Dalian 2007 – The Outlook for China’s Capital Markets

http://www.weforum.org/dalian 06.09.2007
Plenary Session in Parallel
The Outlook for China’s Capital Markets
China’s capital markets rocketed up 183% in 2006, and this impressive growth has continued in 2007. Many suggest this heralds the start of a new golden age of capital markets as national heavyweights, such as ICBC and China Life, return to the domestic exchanges. Others, including government officials, have expressed their concern that public enthusiasm is creating a bubble.
1) What is the outlook for China’s capital markets? Where are the greatest opportunities and risks?
2) What role do foreign investors play in the growth of China’s capital markets?
3) How will China’s stock exchanges continue to attract top companies to list domestically? What are the implications for foreign stock exchanges?

China ’s gold reserves 1of2 growing by leaps and bounds

Max Keiser talks to Stacy Herbert about China’s gold reverves and the dollar being dumped

China admits to building up stockpile of gold

http://www.financialpost.com/news-sectors/story.html?id=1530063

China has admitted what many gold bugs have long speculated: it’s been stockpiling gold since 2003.

SHANGHAI/BEIJING – China revealed on Friday that it had secretly raised its gold reserves by three-quarters since 2003, increasing its holdings to 1,054 tonnes – or a pot worth about US$30.9-billion – and confirming years of speculation it had been buying.

Hu Xiaolian, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, told Xinhua news agency in an interview that the country’s reserves had risen by 454 tonnes from 600 tonnes since 2003, when China last adjusted its state gold reserves figure.

The confirmation of its surreptitious stockpiling is likely to fuel market talk about Beijing’s ability to buy secretly and its ambitions for spending its nearly US$2-trillion pile of savings. And not just in gold: copper and other metals markets are booming thanks to China’s barely-visible hand.

Speculation has gathered speed over the last year, since the tumbling dollar has threatened to weaken China’s buying power – and give it yet more reason to diversify into gold, oil and metals.

Gold prices jumped on the news of Chinese buying and were up more than 1% on the day at US$912.05 an ounce at 0715 GMT. By a Reuters calculation, China’s holding of gold would be worth around US$30.9-billion at current prices.

That accounts for only about 1.6% of China’s total foreign exchange holdings and is little more than one-tenth of the value of the U.S. gold reserve, the world’s biggest. It also means gold has slipped as a share of China’s total reserves from about 2%, based on end-2003 prices.

Only six countries hold more than 1,000 tonnes, and China is ranked fifth, having leap-frogged Switzerland, Japan and the Netherlands with its announcement.

However, the International Monetary Fund and the SPDR Gold Trust exchange traded fund are even bigger, leaving China with the world’s seventh-biggest pot of gold.

Several gold market participants said they thought China had bought on the international market, helping to absorb hundreds of tonnes sold off by central banks and the International Monetary Fund in recent years.

“China has been buying via government channels from South Africa, Russia and South America,” said Ellison Chu, director of precious metals at Standard Bank in Hong Kong.

But Hu said the increase in China’s stocks was achieved by buying on the domestic market and from domestic producers.

China is the world’s largest gold producer and does not permit exports of gold ingots, only jewellery, leaving plentiful supplies for the domestic market.

China produced 282 tonnes of gold last year, meaning the state bought around one quarter of domestic production, assuming 454 tonnes increase in state purchases were spread out over the six years since China last reported a change in its holdings.

Despite the rumours, buying by the state was partially obscured by soaring demand for gold as an investment, especially after the bursting of the Shanghai stock market bubble last year.

Investment demand in China rose to 68.9 tonnes from 25.6 tonnes in 2007. But that was still less than one third of retail demand in India, where total bullion consumption topped 660 tonnes last year.

Hu said China recently reported the change in its gold holdings to the International Monetary Fund and would include the latest change in central bank reports and balance of payment statistics.

She did not say when China notified the IMF.

Although gold rose after Hu’s comments were published, the price move was not a huge one for the highly liquid market. Prices had jumped by US$13 in the space of an hour on Thursday.

Gold market participants said the news signalled likely further buying by China.

“The comments indicate that China will buy more gold as reserve to improve its foreign reserve portfolio. This is a trend,” said Yao Haiqiao, president of Longgold Asset Management.

Hou Huimin, vice general secretary of the China Gold Association, said China should build its reserves to 5,000 tonnes.

“It’s not a matter of a few hundred, or 1,000 tonnes. China should hold more because of its new international status, and because of the financial crisis,” he said.

“The financial crisis means the U.S. dollar value is changing fast, and it may retreat from being the international reserve currency. If that happens, whoever holds gold will be at an advantage.”

The European Central Bank recommends its member banks hold 15% of their reserves in gold, but among Asian nations the percentage is far smaller, said Albert Cheng, World Gold Council managing director for the far east.
