China’s monetarypolicy and fiscal policy中国的货币政策和财政政策
中国的货币政策和财政政策在过去的几年里,中国政府一直在追求一个积极财政政策,想通过发行政府债券来重点建设项目融资。
与此同时,健全的货币政策与财政政策已经实施配合。
协调了两个政策,通货紧缩的趋势已得到遏制,同时还加速经济结构调整和经济增长的进一步提升。
中国的GDP在2002年超过10万亿元,这是一个历史性的突破。
近年来,财政收入体制的改革促进了政府收入的稳定增长。
在2001年,它达到1.6万亿元,是1990年的5.6倍。
政府收入的比例从1994年GDP的11%在增长,在早期阶段的改革——到2001年的17%。
政府支出的改革管理也一直取得了重大进展。
尽管有了上述成就,但保持中国经济发展仍面临着挑战。
主要反映在经济放缓的政府收入自2002年年初以来,不良贷款的比例相对较高的金融部门,在农村地区需求疲软和持久的就业压力。
此外,全球经济前景的不确定性已经影响了中国的出口和经济增长。
要解决这些问题,中国政府将通过积极的财政政策和稳健的货币政策继续刺激国内需求,进一步加快经济结构调整和提高经济增长质量和效益。
最近的财政和货币政策主要发展如下。
一、货币政策自2002年年初以来,中国人民银行(PBC)已经采取合理的货币政策,同时促进政策效率,间接政策工具和机制已得到改进。
在2002年9月的一年中,中国的广义货币供应量(M2)和狭义货币供应量(M1)分别增加了16.5%和15.9%。
中国的基础货币稳步增长和金融机构的位置保持了。
在2002年9月底,中央银行的基础货币在3.97万亿元,占每年增长11.1%,加速至3.4倍,较前一年。
平均超额准备金率是4.9%的金融机构,代表一个适当的位置和高流动性。
贷款发放的中国金融机构也迅速发展,改善贷款结构和质量。
在一个比较的基础上,人民币贷款的所有金融机构(包括外国机构)增加了14.2%,加速了2.6是2001年底和2001年3月以来的最高增长。
针对国内外现状,中国人民银行将:1、使用灵活的货币政策来调整货币供应增长和维护合理的适当信贷总量;2、促进改革的利率机制,把利率在供需基金,以及在优化资源配置发挥作用;3、提高激励申请贷款和公司治理的商业银行;4、在完善人民币汇率形成系统的前提下保持人民币汇率稳定。
经济 R18-Monetary and Fiscal Policy - 重难点解析和经典例题
R18Monetary and Fiscal Policy一、重难点解析Part1:Monetary Policy通胀率与利率的关系通胀率上升,该国货币会趋于目标货币贬值,因为通胀率高代表货币购买力弱,根据购买力平价理论,该国货币趋于贬值,于是货币当局为了刺激货币升值以维持与目标货币的固定汇率采取行动,具体来说,就是抛售目标货币外汇储备同时购买本国货币,这会导致目标货币的供应增加,本币的需求增加,从而会提高本国利率(本币需求增加)以及减少外汇储备,流动性陷阱流动性陷阱是指当利率降低到无可再降低的地步时,任何货币量的增加,都会被单位以“闲资”的方式吸收,因而对总体需求、所得及物价均不产生任何影响,也显示了央行货币政策的失效。
央行降息的影响同学好,首先,借贷利率和贷款利率就是同一个东西,都表示了融资的成本,央行降息,直接就会导致企业融资成本降低,自然促进企业扩大再生产,刺激经济,另一方面,存款利率降低,人们都把钱提出来消费,也会刺激需求。
中央银行的操作独立以及目标独立若中央银行能够自由设定利率水平,则认为该中央银行具有操作独立性,实务中还存在更高程度的独立性,即目标独立性,中央银行不仅能够确定利率水平,还能设定目标通货膨胀的定义、目标通货膨胀率以及达到目标通胀率的时间等。
量化宽松量化宽松主要是指中央银行在实行零利率或近似零利率政策后,通过购买国债等中长期债券,增加基础货币供给,向市场注入大量流动性资金的干预方式,以鼓励开支和借贷,也被简化地形容为间接增印钞票。
公开市场操作中广义与狭义的公开市场根据中央银行在公开市场买卖证券的差异,可分为广义和狭义的公开市场。
所谓广义公开市场,是指在一些金融市场不发达的国家,政府公债和国库券的数量有限,因此,中央银行除了在公开市场上买进或卖出政府公债和国库券之外,还买卖地方政府债券、政府担保的债券、银行承兑汇票等,以达到调节信用和控制货币供应量的目的。
所谓狭义公开市场,是指主要买卖政府公债和国库券。

剑桥商务英语中级-64_真题-无答案
剑桥商务英语中级-64(总分100,考试时间90分钟)READINGPART ONE·Look at the statements below and the information on relationship banking on the opposite page. ·Which section (A, B, C, or D) does each statement I-7 refer to?·For each statement 1--7, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet.·You will need to use some of these letters more than once.AOne of the more discernible trends in the financial-service industry in recent times has been the adoption of programs designed to encourage more personalized relationships between an institution's employees and its clients, particularly those clients who are major depositors. The expression **monly used to describe this type of program is "relationship banking".BIn relationship banking the emphasis is on establishing a long-term multiple-service relationship; on satisfying the totality of the client's financial-service needs; on minimizing the needs or desires of clients to splinter their financial business among various institutions.CImplicit within any definition of relationship banking is recognition that the financial-service requirements of one individual or relatively homogeneous group will likely be substantially different from those of another individual or group. A successful relationship banking program is, therefore, dependent in a large part on the development of a series of financial-service "packages", each designed to meet the needs of identifiable homogeneous groups.DAnother dimension of relationship banking is the development of highly personalized relationships between employee and client. In most financial institutions today the client is serviced by an employee who happens to be free at the time, regardless of the nature of the transaction. Personalized relationships are therefore difficult to establish. In a full relationship banking program, however, the client knows there is one individual within the institution who has intimate knowledge of the client's requirements and preferences **plex transactions.1. All kinds of financial needs are met in relationship banking system.2. Employees in relationship banking are dealing with different businesses respectively.3. Banking is becoming more personal, which is easily recognized.4. The necessary first step in instituting relationship bank is recognizing the special needs of groups and individuals.5. One of the main aims of this type of banking is to encourage clients to keep all their business with a single bank.6. The relationship banking programs have already been used.7. A client may develop a high level of confidence in certain employee.PART TWO·Read the article below about macroeconomic policies.·Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.·For each gap 8--12, mark one letter (A--G) on your Answer Sheet.·Do not use any letter more than once.MACROECONOMIC POLICIESFor most countries, the following four principal objectives of economic policy would apply: (1) Maintenance of employment at a high level. (2) Stable prices. (3) Economic growth. (4) Balance of payments equilibrium. These objectives are sometimes extremely difficult to achieve. A high level of employment, for example, tended to push wages and hence prices up. It also created an imbalance between exports and imports. Furthermore **petition among firms for labor tended to reduce labor productivity since workers were not always fully employed.Government will differ in the emphasis they place on each of the above objectives. (8) . At times when inflation was high, great stress was placed on bringing it down, but this had severe effects on jobs and on economic growth. The pursuit of an expansionary policy very often resulted in an increase in GDP and a fall in the level of unemployment; but was accompanied by a marked rise in the rate of inflation and a serious balance of payments deficit.In carrying out its economic policy, the government uses two principal means--fiscal policy and monetary policy. (9) Monetary policy is broadly neutral in its effects whilst fiscal and other measures can be used more discriminately--the redistribution of incomes and lower rates of corporation tax for small businesses are two examples.Government regulation of the money supply is important for economic stability. Banks will wish to keep excess reserves when they do not foresee profitable and secure opportunities to make loans. This is likely to happen during the downswing and around the bottom of a business contraction. (10)During a recession, profit-oriented banks tend to reduce the money supply by increasing their excessive reserves if the central banks did not intervene. (11) .On the other hand, banks will want to squeeze possible money supply out of any given amount of cash reserves by keeping their reserves at the bare minimum when the demand for bank loans is buoyant, profits are high, and many investments suddenly start to look profitable. (12) The authorities must intervene to prevent this. The monetary authorities can exercise monetary control in two ways: either they can attempt to control interest (i. e. the price of money) or they can endeavor to control the money supply.A Fiscal policy is concerned with taxation, subsidies and government spending; monetary policy, in contrast, is concerned with interest rates, the money supply and bank lending.B As the money supply is an important influence on aggregate demand such a contraction of money supply would exacerbate the severity of the recession.C This reduced incentive to hold excess reserves in prosperous times means that during an economic boom, the behavior of profit-oriented banks is likely to make the money supply expand, adding undesirable momentum to the booming economy and paving the way for a burst of inflation.D These objectives are sometimes extremely difficult to achieve.E When this occurs, the prosperity of banks to hold excess reserves will turn the money creation process into one of the money destruction.F For many years the main emphasis was on employment and balance of payments, but this adversely affected the pursuit of stable prices and economic growth.G When adopting monetary policy, the central bank usually takes action to change the equilibrium of the money market, that is, to alter the money supply, move the interest rate, or do both.8.9.10.11.12.PART THREE·Read the article below about the difficulties of managing a small business, and the questions on the opposite page.·For each question 13—18, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.THE DIFFICULTIES OF MANAGING A SMALL BUSINESS"The organizational weaknesses that entrepreneurs have to deal with every day would cause the managers of a **pany to panic." Andrew Bidden wrote recently in Boston Business Review. This seems to suggest that the leaders of entrepreneurial or small businesses must be unlike other managers, or the problems faced by such leaders must be the subject of a specialized body of wisdom, or possibly both. Unfortunately, neither is true. Not much worth reading about managing the entrepreneurial or small businesses has been written, and the leaders of such businesses are made of flesh and blood, like the rest of us.Furthermore, little has been done to address the aspects of entrepreneurial or small businesses that are so difficult to deal with and so different from the challenges faced by management in big businesses. In part this is because those involved in gathering expertise about businesses and in selling advice to businesses have historically been more interested in the needs of big business. In part, in the UK at least, it is also because small businesses have always preferred to adapt to changing circumstances.The organizational problems of entrepreneurial or small businesses are thus forced upon the individuals who lead them. Even more so than for bigger businesses, the old saying is true--that people, particularly those who make the important decisions, are business' most important asset.The research that does exist shows that neither money nor the ability to access more of it is the major factor determining growth. The main reason an entrepreneurial business stops growing is the lack of management and leadership resource available to the business when it matters. Give an entrepreneur an experienced, skilled team and he or she will find the funds every time. Getting the team, though, is the difficult bit. Part of the problem for entrepreneurs is the speed of change that affects their businesses. They have to cope with continuous change yet have always been suspicious about the latest management solution. They regard the many offerings from business schools as out of date even before they leave the planning board and have little faith in the recommendations of consultants when they arrive in the hands of young, inexperienced graduates. But such impatience with management solutions does not mean that problems can be left to solve themselves. However, the leaders of growing businesses are still left with the problem of who to turn to for advice.The answer is horribly simple: leaders of small businesses can ask each other. The collective knowledge of a group of leaders can prove to be enormously helpful in solving the specific problems of individuals. One leader's problems have certainly been solved already by someone else. There is an organization called KITE which enables those responsible for small businesses to meet. Its members, all of whom are chief executives, go through a demanding selection process, and then join a small group of other chief executives. **e from a range of business sectors and each offers a different corporate history. Each group is led by a moderator, an independently selected businessman or businesswoman who has been specially trained to head the group. Each member takes it in turn to host a meeting at his or her business premises and, most important of all, group discussions are kept strictly confidential. This encourages a free sharing of problems and increases the possibility of solutions being discovered.13. What does the writer say about entrepreneurs in the first paragraph?A. It is wrong to assume that they are different from other managers.B. The problems they have to cope with are specific to small businesses.C. They find it difficult to attract staffs with sufficient expertise.D. They could learn from the organizational skills of managers in **panies.14.

The requirements of big businesses have always taken priority.C. It is difficult to find solutions to the problems faced by entrepreneurs.D.

Many small businesses do not produce enough profits to finance growth.B. Many employees in small businesses have problems working as part of a team.C. Being able to recruit the right people is the most important factor affecting growth.D. Leaders of small businesses lack the experience to make **panies a success.16. What does the writer say is an additional problem for entrepreneurs in the fourth paragraph?A. They rely on management systems that are out of date.B. They will not adopt measures that provide long-term solutions.C. They have little confidence in the business advice that is available.D.

Contemporary Economic Policy
Content ArrangementThis essay will be arranged into three parts. In the first part, it will explain the new economic environment under the circumstances of the American subprime crisis, and illustrating the importance of export. In part II, it will analyze the proportion of components of GDP, and evaluate which one could be the main driving force of GDP. In the final part, it will recommend some fiscal and monetary policies to accelerate GDP and analyze each of these policies at the end of this essay.Part IBefore discussing problems of the export-led economic growth in China’s economy in the world’s current economic environment, it is good, in the first place, to have a brief view of the importance export. From the perspective of realizing the value of goods and services, to develop international trade is to expand the market from domestic to international, creating better economic environment for value realization, value-added, and increasing the domestic demand and national income (Yi, 2002).To review those economic take offs in other countries in modern times, export always played a crucial role in economies. China is not an exception. Since the 1978’s reform and opening-up, the rapid growth of GDP was usually accompanied by the expansion of export. In the five yeas time from 1986 to 1990, the net export contributed to GDP growth 20.9 percent each year on average (Yu 2008). More recently, in the year of 2005 and 2006, export took the ratio of 24.1 percent and 19.3 percent of GDP (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2008). It is obvious that export was a significant factor driving China’s economy in most of the years since 1978. But a good time never lasts long. When the American subprime crisis caused world economy recession, China’s export trade was seriously influenced.Part IIAt present, the export-led economic growth pattern seems not a favorable way for China to develop her economy. Then, what is the new accelerator of GDP? As According to Mankiw, GDP is the sum of its consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases(G), and net exports (NX): Y=C+I+G+NX. It is worthwhile analyzing each components of GDP, to see which one could take the responsibility of being an economic booster. Since the NX are facing lots of difficulties now, and government purchases usually cannot be the main driving force of economy. There are just two rivals, Mr. C, and Mr. I. We first look at the performance of these two competitors in recent years. In 2007, consumption shared 39.4 percent of GDP, while investment was 40.9 percent. Mr. I seemed to be the No.1contributor to the GDP. The ratio of these two components of GDP was almost the same in the year of 2006. But it was difference situation during the period from 1979 to 2000. Compared to the performance of the two competitors, excepting the years of 1993, 1994 and 1995, consumption has been always in the first place (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2007). And the standard deviation of consumption is much lower than investment, which indicates that consumption is a more stable factor contributing to GDP. Compared the ratio of the Mr. C and Mr. I in other economies in nowadays, for instance the US, personal consumption expenditure has shared 70 percent of American GDP from 2002 to 2007, while gross private domestic investment contributed to 16 percent on average during the same period (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2009). According a report released in 2003 from Morgan Stanley, as the world’s fourth largest economy, China’s private consumption expenditure shared 35 percent of GDP, meanwhile, the proportion of same part in the US’s GDP was 50 percent. The share of consumption in China’s GDP may be the lowest in major economies. To understand these facts and figures, the low proportion of consumption in GDP indicates that China has a large potential to increase her GDP by stimulating consumption. Another reason of increasing consumer spending is as Nicholas Lardy, a researcher in The Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington, said, if China cannot transfer her economic growth from export and real estate investment to consumption, China’s trade sur plus will continue to increase, this will inevitably lead to more serious trade conflict and criticism of trade protectionism. In addition, Chinese domestic market has one of the most enviable advantages, the huge number of population. It means consumption could be a more powerful driving force of economy compared with other huge economies (Matthew Benjamin, n/d).Part IIIIt is visible that Chinese government should adopt a series of policies to stimulate domestic consumption, especially through a set of fiscal and monetary policies. In order to expand consumer spending, expansionary monetary policies should be put into practice. To discuss how the monetary policies influence consumption, their effects on the aggregate demand should be shed light on. If the central bank conducts expansionary monetary policies, it would increase the money supply or decrease the interest rate. There are three main tools for the people’s bank of China to control the money supply, open-market operation, reserve requirements and discount rate. By purchasing government bonds, decreasing reserve requirements and lowering discount rate, the China central bank give monetary injection to the economy leading an increase of quantity of money at any point of interest rate thus shifting the money supply curve to the right. As a result, the interest rate decreases to adjust to the raised quantity of money. The lower interest rate will discourage people saving money in the banks, instead it stimulate people’ consumption, which will increase the quantity of goods and service demanded.The expansionary monetary itself is a good way of stimulating consumption, and it is also an import supplementary condition to pro-active fiscal policies, because the decreased interest rate will counteract the crowding-out effect, which increases interest rate and offsets aggregate demand, brought by expansionary fiscal policies. However, this monetary policy is not a perfect way, because of two reasons. Primarily, an expansionary monetary policy usually causes inflation while increasing the money supply. Inflation will reduces the real value of money thus weakening the purchasing power of RMB holding in consum ers’ hand, which goes against the purpose of increasing consumption. In addition, it is only a method of adjusting and controlling, not a fundamental solution which considers the distinct situations hindering consumption in China. Therefore, a more effective method may lie in the fiscal policies.Before recommending the fiscal policies China may use to stimulate consumption, the factors blocking people fishing out their wallets should be acknowledged. Firstly, Chinese have more anxieties than western consumers when they walk into a shopping centre. There are many reasons lie behind it. But the most important one is the immature social insurances system. The high expenditure of children’s’ education, medical treatment, housing, and pension worries a large number of Chinese people. The second factor lie behind is a bit like the first one, but it is in another perspective. The consumers in China can be grouped into three categories, high-income consumers, which are those moneybags, middle income consumers, which represent most of working people in cities and low income consumers, which include peasants and peasants-workers, accounting for most of Chinese population. The first group cannot contribute to the consumption a lot because the numbers of them is really small in China and they prefer go shopping overseas instead of contributing to mother nation’s GDP. The middle income consumers are the main force promoting consumption, but the expenditure of living in cities is too expensive so they cannot contribute to the consumption a lot. For those peasants and peasant-workers, the willingness of consuming is not a problem; the problem is that they get no money to consume.Having got a better understanding of these factors hindering consumption, two fiscal policies are recommended to increase consumer spending. The first one is to set a maximum level of profits earned by medical, real estate and private education industries and the excess profits should be heavily taxed. This method eases the worries of middle income people for consumption. In other words, it increases the money available in hand to go shopping of middle income group by decreases the spending of living. In addition, without fear of trouble in the rear, people are much more eager to consume. It will increase the aggregate demand at any point of price level, thus shifting the aggregate demand curve the right, reaching the purpose of expanding consumption. Another fiscal policy is to increase the tax on people in the high-income group. The rate of tax on high income people is very low compared to other countries. But 80 percent of reveres deposited in the backs in China is owned by only 20 percent of people who onlycontributes to 10 percent of total personal income tax. A higher tax on these people could collect a large sum of money which can be used as public expenditure on low income people, such as subsidies encouraging consumption, building economical affordable housing, etc. When considering the multiplier, crowding-out effect and other advantages and shortcomings of these two fiscal policies, these two policies have much more good effects. The crowding-out effect of these two policies are not obvious since there are no direct money inflows in the economy, instead, the first policy cut the psychological blocking factors influencing consumption and the second policy improved the purchasing power of most of people in China without increasing much public expenditure which may cause financial deficit. Finally, the heavy tax on high income people may not change the willingness and purchasing power of high-income consumers. Since they still are wealthy and with desires to consume.Executive SummaryTo conclude, in the storm of economic crisis, China can no longer increase her GDP much depending on export. This essay seeks another accelerator of GDP, and finally finding out another dependable driving force of economy, consumption. Thus it suggests some fiscal and monetary policies to make sure this accelerator can work normally and strongly. These polices include expansionary monetary policies and two fiscal policies which aim at solving some blocking factors of consumption. Finally, it evaluates these policies and reaches the conclusion that their benefits are much more than shortcomings. Those are the polices that government may use to reduce China’s dependence on export-led economic growth and increase the domestic consumption demand.。

1.Unemployment (Unemployment) are broad and narrow. The broad unemploymentis a state of separation of production and workers. In this state, the production potential and initiative of the workers can not play, not only a waste of social resources, but also a negative impact on the socio-economic development. The narrow unemployment is the ability to work at the age of statutory labor and employment aspirations of the workers lose or not get paid to have the job of social phenomena. Depending on the different causes of unemployment can be divided into the following three types: 1, frictional unemployment: means in the process of conversion work, unemployment, structural unemployment: due to changes in industrial structure or production technology, making the original workopportunity to disappear and unemployment, cyclical unemployment: the unemployment caused by the fluctuations in the economic cycle.2.The New Deal introduced the ability to withdraw benefits from those who refused"reasonable employment". A complementary project was introduced in 1999, the Working Families Tax Credit. This is a tax credit scheme for low income workers which provides an incentive to work, and to continue in work. The New Deal is a programme of active labour market policies introduced in the United Kingdom by the Labour government in 1998, initially funded by a one-off £5 billion windfall tax on privatised utility companies.[1] The stated purpose is to reduce unemployment by providing training, subsidised employment and voluntary work to the unemployed.3.Although the social impact of unemployment is difficult to estimate and measure,but it is the most vulnerable people feel.Unemployment threaten the stability of the family as a social unit and economic unit. No income or loss, the head of the household can not play its due role. Family demands and needs are not met, the family relationship will be jeopardized. Western psychology studies have shown that the dismissal of the trauma caused by no less than the death of friends and relatives or academic failure. In addition, the interpersonal relationships outside the home by the serious impact of unemployment. Unemployed in the employment of staff who have lost self-respect and influence, is facing the possibility of colleagues refused, and may lose self-esteem and self-confidence.Ultimately, the unemployed, emotionally severely hit. The existence of a large number of unemployed persons has a double impact on China's economic growth and international competitiveness. On the positive side, it provides a wealth of labor resources for sustained development in China in 26 years. The same time, the existence of mass unemployment, the employment of personnel always maintain the enormous pressure, which eased the pressure on wage growth, so that China's manufacturing industry has long maintained the advantages of low wage costs.However, the existence of mass unemployment on the negative impact of economic growth can not be ignored. First of all, from the domestic factors, the existence of a large number of the unemployed population makes China's economic growth mode has always been difficult to complete by the investment-driven to consumption-led growth transformation. This is because a large number of unemployed persons can not benefit from economic growth, it isnot possible to increase consumer demand, ability to pay. A few high-income group, the demand for domestic consumption to some extent, is saturated, so a lot of consumer spending into the overseas developed countries, but also poured in a less cost-effective investment.From the history of world economic growth, this mode of growth is neither stable nor sustainable. Moreover, due to the social needs and to provide employment opportunities for low labor costs, the government and enterprises lack the power of the relaxed environment of economic structural adjustment and technological advancement. These factors will hinder long-term international competitiveness of China's economy4.5.Fiscal policy (the Fiscal policy / 'fiskl' pɒləsi / AmE 'pɑ: ləsi /) economicsvocabulary. An overview of the fiscal policy fiscal policy refers to the guiding principles prescribed by the State in accordance with the mandate of the political, economic and social development in a certain period financial, through fiscal spending and tax policy to regulate aggregate demand. The increase in government spending can stimulate aggregate demand, thereby increasing the national income, and vice versa suppress aggregate demand, reduce national income. Tax is a contraction of the power of the national income and, therefore, increase government revenue, inhibition of aggregate demand and thus reduce the national income, in turn, stimulate aggregate demand to increase national income.Fiscal policy is an integral part of national economic policy.It enacted by the state, representing the will and interests of the ruling class, has a distinct class character, and is subject to a certain level of development of social productive forces and the corresponding economic relations constraints. Fiscal policy is an integral part of national economic policy is closely linked with other economic policies. The formulation and implementation of fiscal policy, there must be financial policies, industrial policy, income distribution policy, economic policy coordination.ernment spending at all levels of government spending, consists of two parts,0to build roads, the establishment of the court, setting up schools. This part is included in GDP. Another part is not included in GDP, transfer payments, bond interest接书1017.iooi8.Regional policy is based on regional differences and develop a series ofmacro-operation mechanism for coordination of inter-regional relations and regional policy and the impact on regional development at the macro level. Its contents, the main regional economic policies, structural policies, landscape and nature conservation policy. To reduce regional employment differences as the main goal of regional policy.England's land area outside of the coal resources are relatively poor, the limited capacity of the domestic market. Leading position in the world after the Industrial Revolution, industrial products mainly for export, and industrial raw materials other than agricultural products and coal is heavily dependent on imports. Industrial products in exports, the whole economic cycle to be broken, causing the economic crisis, significant increase in the unemployedpopulation. Because of its traditional industries are highly concentrated geographically, resulting in a high rate of unemployment in some areas. Therefore, the spatial differences as the primary objective of the British regional policy to reduce the unemployment rate.Second, regional policy intermittently severely about party politics. British Labour and Conservative economic policy is an obvious difference, Labour biased in favor of policy interventions, emphasis on social justice; the Conservative Party is advocating a free market economy, emphasizing efficiency. Therefore, as part of the regional policy of the government intervention in economic activity, when Labour came to power, attention, the Conservative Party during the reign neglected.Three, regional policy, administrative and financial measures as the main means of implementation. In order to reduce the regional differences in the unemployment rate, the British regional policy emphasizes the adjustment of industrial layout. Through administrative means (such as the permit system) restrictions on industrial layout in the unemployment rate relatively low in London, to encourage industry to relocate or to open new factories to the traditional industries and high unemployment concentrated. Formulate preferential policies to financially induced by the low-unemployment areas migrate to areas of high unemployment。
Fiscal Policy
Summary

Fiscal Policy
• A government choice of expenditure policy and a tax and transfer policy is called fiscal policy. Fiscal policy is defined as the use of government purchases, transfer payments and taxes to affect macroeconomic variables such as employment, the price level and the level of real GDP.
• Discretionary Fiscal Policy – requires ongoing decisions involving the deliberate manipulation of government purchases, taxation and transfers to promote macroeconomic goals such as full employment, price stability and economic growth.

Fiscal Fiscal policy
• The benefit of fiscal policy is that it ensures that government expenditures are sustainable in the long run. This is achieved by ensuring that the budget is balanced over the medium term. This approach also advantage the current expenditure is met by current tax revenue, rather than passing the responsibility of financing such expenditure on to future government through borrowing and accumulation of debt. Increasing government saving also allows the government’s net asset situation to be improved through the retirement of government debt. This also reduces net interest payments on debt and increases the out of funds available for expenditure on areas such as education, health, and security. Increased government saving also reduces the government’s demand for private saving and facilitates a lower interest rate environment. Increased in Government savings will contribute to an improvement in Australia’s external position. The current deficit partly reflects the gap between national investment and national savings. Fiscal policy can reduce the risk premia attached to interest rates by international lenders. Budget deficit, rising levels of government debt and uncertainty regarding the direction of future economic policy can be a cause for concern among international lenders, such that they require higher interest rate to compensate before they lend to finance either government or private debt in Australia Disadvantage of Fiscal policy • Fiscal Policy Tends to Lack Flexibility – Since we have only one federal budget once a year, this does not give enough flexibility to cope with the changing economy through the course of the year. Fiscal policy also suffers in flexibility because it is sometimes difficult to reduce government expenditure once it has begun. Even economic climate has change; expensive projects such as bridges cannot be abandoned before completion, if only because contracts have to be honoured. Welfare payments cannot be reduced. • Time Lags make fiscal Policy Imprecise – there is usually a lag between the time when the need for fiscal action is recognised and the time when that action is actually taken. For example, GST policy legislation to be debated in parliament, this took an unpredictable time. • Some Fiscal measures are Politically Undesirable – a problem with using fiscal measures to control the level of demand is that political factors may override sound economic consideration. Government has social and political goals as well as economic ones and even the economic climate require a reduction in the level of total spending, because of election; it may increase welfare spending and reduce income taxes. • Fiscal measures do not treat people equally – Since various taxes and various types of government spending affect different members of the community to different degrees, and this can be considered inequitable. For example, Progressive income taxes are sometimes considered to penalise the hard working and social services to benefits 12 those who do not try to take care of their own needs.

LECTURE_10_fiscal_policy
The cyclically adjusted budget deficit
• The cyclically adjusted budget deficit is an estimate of what the budget deficit would be if the economy were at potential output. • It fluctuates less than the actual budget deficit, because years of large budget deficits also tend to be years when the economy has a large recessionary gap.
• Since 2010 the government policy has moved in the opposite direction and an austerity package has been introduced.
• Some tax increases have been announced and the government is cutting government expenditure.
The budget deficit as a percentage of GDP tends to rise during recessions (indicated by shaded areas) and fall during expansions.

ACCA英国注册会计师(F1)Chapter1-4题库大全姓名:_____________ 年级:____________ 学号:______________1、Monetary policy is a government economic policy relating to:1 Interest rates2 Taxation3 Public borrowing and spending4 Exchange ratesWhich of the above are correct?A1 and 4B2 and 3C2 and 4D3 and 4答案解析:Rationale: Government policy on taxation, public spending and public borrowing relates to fiscal policy. Government policy on interest rates and exchange rates are part of the monetary policy.2、Which of the following organisations might benefit from a period of high price inflation? AAn organisation which has a large number of long-term payablesBAn exporter of goods to a country with relatively low inflationCA large retailer with a high level of inventory on display and low rate of inventory turnover答案解析:Rationale: Debts lose ‘real’ value with inflation: a company that owes a lot of mo ney wouldeffectively pay less (in real terms) over time. The other organisations would suffer because: inflation would make exports relatively expensive and importsrelatively cheap; business might be lost due to price rises; and the cost of implementing price changes would be high.Rationale: The four main objectives of macroeconomic policy relate to economic growth, stable (not zero) inflation, unemployment and the balance of payments (balance between exports and imports).3、Which of the following are the goals of macroeconomic policy?1 Encouraging economic growth2 Low unemployment3 Achievement of a balance between exports and imports4 Achieving zero inflationA1 and 2B2 and 3C2, 3 and 4D1, 2 and 3答案解析:Rationale: The four main objectives of macroeconomic policy relate to economic growth, stable (not zero) inflation, unemployment and the balance of payments (balance between exports and imports)4、Which of the following is an example of cyclical unl Rationale: Recession is part of the business cycle: demand for output and jobs falls, and unemployment rises until recovery is well under way. Option A is an example of frictional unemployment; option B of seasonal unemployment;option C of technological unemployment.Pitfalls: It is easy to confuse cyclical with seasonal unemployment, or frictional unemploy ment that occurs on a seasonal basis (eg option A). You need to associate cyclical employment firmly with business cycles.5、A surplus on the balance of payments usually refers to a surplus or deficit on the account.Which word correctly complete this statement?ACurrentBCapitalCFinancial答案解析:Rationale: It is particularly tempting to equate a trade surplus or deficit with a ‘profit’ or ‘loss’ for the country, but this is not the case.6、 Northland, Southland, Eastland and Westland are four countries of Asia. The following economic statistics have been produced for the year 2007.Which country experienced stagflation in the relevant period?ANorthlandBSouthlandCEastlandDWestland答案解析:Examiner’s comments. The examiner commented that some students struggled with this question. Stagflation occurs when economic growth (defined by the change in national income in a period) is low or negative, and inflation is high. So the relevant figures are percentage change in GDP and change in consumer prices.7、____economic growth is determined by supply-side rather than by demand side factors.Which word correctly completes this statement?AActualBPotentialCNational答案解析:Rationale: Potential growth is the rate at which the economy would grow if all resources were utilised: it is therefore determined by factors in the capacity of the economy (supply side), such as increases in the amount of resources available, or in the productivity or resources. Actual growth is determined both by growth in output (supply side) and aggregate demand (demand side). Option C was merely a distractor8、In a free market economy, the price mechanism:AAids government controlBAllocates resourcesCMeasures national wealth答案解析:Rationale: In a free market economy, it is the interaction of supply and demand through the price mechanism that determines what should be produced and who should get it.9、Which one of the following statements is true?ALimited company status means that a company is only allowed to trade up to a predetermined turnover level in any one yearBFor organisations that have limited company status, ownership and control are legally separate.CThe benefit of being a sole trader is that you have no personal liability for the debts of your business.DOrdinary partnerships offer the same benefits as limited companies but are usually formed by professionals such as doctors and solicitors.答案解析:Rationale: In a limited company, the owners (shareholders) are separate from the managers of the concern (board of directors).Pitfalls: Some options look plausible because of the wording. ‘Limited’ doesn’t mean ‘only being allowed to trade up to’ - but looks as if it might. The second half of the statement about partnerships is true - but this doesn’t mean that the first half is also true.Ways in: You should have been able to ru le out A (no company’s turnover is limited), C (sole traders do have personal liability for debts: they do not have ‘limited liability’) and D (ordinary partnerships are different from limited companies)10、An organisation is owned and run by central government agencies. The organisation is best described as which of the following statements?AA voluntary sector organisationBA private sector organisationCA public sector organisation答案解析:Rationale: Such an organisation is part of the public sector. The voluntary sector comprises charities and other organisations whose members are volunteers. Private sector comprises nongovernmental organisations,such as limited companie.Pitfalls: Watch out for ‘public’ and ‘private’ sector terms - and be able to distinguish clearly between them.11、12、Which of the following groups may be considered to be stakeholders in the activities of a nuclear power station?(i) The government(ii) Environmental pressure groups(iii) Employees(iv) Local residentsA(i) (iii) and (iv)B(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)C(iii) onlyD(i) and (iii) only答案解析:Rationale: All these groups have a legitimate stake in the enterprise: the government, as a regulator; employees, as participants in the business; and environmental pressure group and local residents, because of potential impacts.Pitfalls: Don’t forget externa l stakeholders!13、The term secondary stakeholders describes which group of stakeholders?AStakeholders who conduct transactions with the organisationBStakeholders who have a contractual relationship with the organisationCStakeholders who do not have a contractual relationship with the organisation答案解析:Rationale: Secondary stakeholders are stakeholders who do not have a contractual relationship with the organisation.Primary stakeholders are stakeholders who do have a contractual relationship with the organisation.14、Which of the following organisations would rely most heavily on value for money indicators and efficiency rather than information on performance and profitability?AA private accountancy collegeBA local authorityCA small retailer答案解析:。
Guidance and Policy Actions
Economic ProjectPart 4 --- Guidance and Policy Actions1.Monetary PolicyMonetary policy is controlling of the quantity of money in circulation for the expressed purpose of stabilizing the business cycle and reducing the problems of unemployment and inflation. In days gone by, monetary policy was undertaken by printing more or less paper currency. In modern economies, monetary policy is undertaken by controlling the money creation process performed throughfractional-reserve banking.The Federal Reserve Systemis U.S. monetary authority responsible for monetary policy. In theory, it can control the fractional-banking money creation process and the money supply through open market operations, the discount rate, and reserve requirements. In practice, the Fed primarily uses open market operations, the buying and selling of U.S. Treasury securities, for this control.An important side effect of money supply control is control of interest rates. As the quantity of money changes, banks are willing to make loans at higher or lower interest rates.Monetary policy comes in two basic varieties--expansionary and contractionary. Expansionary monetary policy or easy money results if the Fed increases the money supply and lowers interest rates and is the recommended policy to counter a recession. Contractionary monetary policy or tight money occurs if the Fed decreases the money supply and raises interest rates and is the recommended policy to reduceinflation.Inflation is a sustained increase in the general level of prices, which isequivalent to a decline in the value or purchasing power of money. If the supply of money and credit increases too rapidly over time, the result could be inflation.The goals of monetary policy are to promote maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates. Full employment results when all available resources (especially labor) willing and able to engage in production are producing goods and services. Falling short of this goal resultsin unemployment. Because some degree of unemployment naturally exists in a modern complex economy, full employment is achieved if the unemployment rate is about 5 percent. Unemployment means the economy forgoes the production goods andservices.Stability exists when fluctuations in prices, production, and employment have been eliminated. While stability for all aspects of the economy are important, monetary policy tends to be most concerned with price stability, that is, keeping the price level in check and eliminating inflation. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of financial wealth.Economic growthoccurs when the production capacity of the economy increases over time, which is achieved by increasing the quantity and/or quality of resources. When the economy grows and production capacity expands, then more goods and services are available to satisfy wants and needs. Without economic growth, the economy stagnates, and often even experiences a falling living standard.By implementing effective monetary policy, the Fed can maintain stable prices, thereby supporting conditions for long-term economic growth and maximum employment.The Federal Reserve’s three instruments of monetary policy are open marketoperations, the discount rate and reserve requirements.Open market operations involve the buying and selling of government securities. The term “open market” means that the Fed doesn’t decide on its own which securities dealers it will do business with on a particular day. Rather, the choice emerges from an “open market” in which the various securities dealers that the Fed does business with – the primary dealers – compete on the basis of price. Open market operations are flexible, and thus, the most frequently used tool of monetary policy.The Fed can also adjust the interest rate that it charges banks for borrowing reserves. Higher or lower rates affect the amount of excess reserves that banks have available to make loans and create money. If the Fed lowers the discount rate, then banks can borrow more reserves, which they can use to make more loans at lower interest rates, which then increase the money supply. If the Fed raises the discount rate, then banks can borrow fewer reserves, which they use to make fewer loans at higher interest rates, which then decrease the money supply. Changes in the discount rate are most often used as a signal for monetary policy actions.The Fed can further adjust the proportion of reserves that banks must keep to back outstanding deposits (the reserve ratio). Higher and lower rates affect the deposit multiplier and the amount of deposits banks can create with a given amount of reserves. If the Fed lowers reserve requirements, then banks can use existing reserves to make more loans and thus increase the money supply. If the Fed raises reserve requirements, then banks can use existing reserves to fewer more loans and thus decrease the money supply. This tool is seldom used as a means of controlling the money supply.2.Fiscal PolicyFiscal policy makes use of the federal government's powers of spending and taxation to stabilize the business cycle. This policy is under the control oflegislative and executive branches of the federal government charged withcollecting taxes and spending available revenues.If the economy is mired in a recession, then the appropriate fiscal policy is to increase spending or reduce taxes--termed expansionary fiscal policy. During periods of high inflation, the opposite actions are needed, to decrease spending or raise taxes--thatis,contractionary fiscal policy.Keynes recommends that, during periods of recession, Congress should increase government spending in order to “prime the pump” of the economy. At the same time, he recommends, Congress should decrease taxes in order to give households more disposable income with which they can buy more products.Through both methods of fiscal policy, the increase in aggregate demand stimulates firms to increase production, hire workers, and increase household incomes to enable them to buy more. Keynes advocates the opposite positions during times of rapid inflation. In order to slow down the economy, Keynes calls for Congress reduce government spending in order to reduce pressure on aggregate demand. For the same reason he calls for tax increases in inflationary times, to reduce consumers' disposable income The reduction in aggregate demand brought about by such actions leads firms to produce fewer products, slows hiring, and reduces inflationary pressure. While both tools are effective, Keynes advocated change in government spending as the more effective fiscal policy tool, because any change in government spending has a direct effect on aggregate demand. However, if taxes are reduced, consumers most likely will not spend all of their increase in disposable income; they are likely to save some of it. In the same way, if taxes are raised, consumers are not likely to reduce their consumption of products by the same amount as the tax; they are likely to dip into savings to cover some of the change in tax rates.Although some policy makers and economists prefer fiscal policy over monetary or monetary policy over fiscal, both tend to be used in modern economies. However, the two policies are not necessarily coordinated. The monetary authority (the Fed) might pursue a contractionary monetary policy, while the fiscal authority (Congress and the President) pursues an expansionary fiscal policy.。
欧洲偿付能力II以及美国风险资本政策讲义
欧洲偿付能力II以及美国风险资本政策讲义欧洲偿付能力II(Solvency II)和美国风险资本政策(Risk-Based Capital)是两个重要的金融监管框架,旨在确保金融机构具备足够的偿付能力和风险控制,以保护金融体系的稳定和保护消费者利益。
欧洲偿付能力II是欧洲联盟对保险公司的监管规定,于2016年1月1日正式实施。
该规定强调保险公司的风险管理和资本充足性,旨在防止保险公司在面对风险时无法履行其承诺。
它要求保险公司评估其所承担的各项风险,并根据其风险水平和所需的偿付能力来确定相应的资本要求。
具体来说,欧洲偿付能力II要求保险公司制定内部模型来评估其资本需求。
这些内部模型会考虑各种风险因素,包括市场风险、信用风险、流动性风险和操作风险等,以确保保险公司能够在各种不利情况下满足其承诺。
此外,欧洲偿付能力II还要求保险公司进行定期的资本评估,并向监管机构报告其资本充足性状况。
美国风险资本政策是美国金融监管机构对保险公司的监管要求。
该政策于1990年代初引入,并在随后的几十年中不断演变和完善。
它要求保险公司根据其承担的风险程度和规模来确定其所需的资本水平。
具体来说,美国风险资本政策要求保险公司根据风险分类和资本公式来计算其所需的风险资本。
风险分类根据保险公司承保的不同风险类型进行划分,例如寿险风险、健康保险风险和财产保险风险等。
资本公式则根据风险分类和保险公司的风险承受能力来确定所需的资本水平。
在实施美国风险资本政策时,监管机构还会进行定期的风险评估和资本强度测试,以确保保险公司具备足够的偿付能力和风险控制。
综上所述,欧洲偿付能力II和美国风险资本政策都是为了保护金融体系稳定和保护消费者利益而引入的重要监管框架。
它们要求保险公司评估其风险和资本需求,并定期向监管机构报告其偿付能力和资本充足状况。
这些措施有助于确保金融机构能够在面对不利情况时履行其承诺,从而维护金融体系的稳定性。
