Chapter 792 (1/2)
Following the public quarrel between Sir Gao and financial secretary Peng Lizhi, which has become a hot topic in Xiangjiang, sir Gao promised to use five years to make the asset scale of Xiangjiang exchange fund exceed US $30 billion from several billion US dollars. It is not only simple and straightforward, but also greatly shook the elite class and attracted international attention.
At this stage, due to various factors of the times, including the cold war, the importance of foreign exchange reserves can not be compared with that after the Asian financial crisis.
Take China's current foreign exchange reserves, which are about several billion US dollars, not more than 10 billion US dollars; The total economic volume of Xiangjiang, which is far inferior to that of Xiangjiang, is a special case. The issuance of Hong Kong dollars is protected by foreign exchange reserves, and the asset scale of Xiangjiang exchange fund is also in this range.
In this case, Gao Xian's promise can conceivably cause a sensation.
First, no economy has paid so much attention to its foreign exchange reserves.
Second, if the asset scale growth of Xiangjiang exchange fund can really reach the high string commitment, it really needs to be described as a miracle.
Relying only on the careful calculation of ordinary people, it is easy to think that the $200 million that Gaoyi is responsible for managing the exchange fund and the fiscal surplus of the Hong Kong government will double its assets in three years. Although it is also very difficult, it is still within the control of Gaoyi. It is not a big deal that gaojue will find a way to fill the gap, not just $200 million; However, when the asset size of Xiangjiang exchange fund exceeds US $30 billion five years later, it is almost impossible to fill the hole with your own money to preserve face and reputation. After all, the hole is destined to be too large for individuals and enterprises to bear.
Discerning people tend to think that Sir Gao, who has been unable to bear with the unsatisfactory performance of the Xiangjiang exchange fund in recent years, has made no secret of his desire for the management power of the exchange fund in promoting the independent operation of the Xiangjiang exchange fund, and the boasted Haikou is raising the threshold for the competition of principals after the independent operation of the Xiangjiang exchange fund.
Of course, by doing so, sir Kao is also pushing the Hong Kong government, which is weak in the operation of the exchange fund, into a corner.
I am confident that the asset scale of Xiangjiang exchange fund will exceed US $30 billion in five years. What guarantee can you make if you don't hand over the exchange fund?
However, it is interesting to note that the pressure of mocking Sir Gao's boasting does not appear to be overwhelming, but is more regarded as entertainment news pastime. Occasionally, several heavyweights who can't refuse have to comment publicly, but only understatement. If they are sure that such a high goal can't be achieved, The promisor is going to take the blame and resign in advance.
In this regard, Gao Xian, who has long secretly done a good job in the arduous struggle, does not think that his popularity is so good that he has moved the heaven, the earth and the hearts of those who don't like him. Instead, he is soberly convinced that the ghost guys are more and more pregnant with ghosts, and this is his opportunity to achieve great things.
The British took the prosperity of Xiangjiang River as a bargaining chip to threaten negotiations. As a result, they got rid of and screwed up. The next thought naturally changed subtly. When they ruled Xiangjiang, they firmly grasped the interests here, such as British capital priority; When we have to return the Xiangjiang River, we mix sand and divide it, leaving our own brand as much as possible. Compared with the predictable mixing of sand into Xiangjiang Zhengzhi ecology, it is also right to let the exchange fund start to operate independently of the government.
As for the responsibility of the exchange fund to Sir Kao, in fact, there is no harm. Britain can accept this candidate. Moreover, in less than five years, young Gao Xian will boast too much because of his ambition, take the blame and resign, and then choose a more satisfactory successor; At the same time, Gao Xian's failure can just hit Xiangjiang Chinese capital, which is becoming more and more plump.
In the next intensive meeting, Gao Xian felt this psychological change of the British people. One of the manifestations is that there is no too much entanglement about whether the exchange fund operates independently of the Hong Kong government. On the contrary, it is the mechanism for the independent operation of the exchange fund, which makes the debate blush and thick neck.
At this stage, the operational structure of the Hong Kong exchange fund is, in short, managed by the exchange fund team under the financial services branch of the Hong Kong government; The exchange fund management department, which is also subordinate to the financial services branch of the Hong Kong government, is responsible for the management of the daily work of the exchange fund. Its specific contents include hiring private institutions such as Gao Yi to manage some of the assets of the exchange fund.
In addition, there is a body similar to the board of directors of the company, the Exchange Fund Advisory Committee, chaired by the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government. Its members are mainly from the commercial banks in Xiangjiang, especially the managers of Huifeng, Standard Chartered and Yili Hong Kong dollar note issuing banks.
On the surface, the Hong Kong government has begun to operate the exchange fund independently in accordance with Sir Gao's intention, which means that the management of the exchange fund will be moved from the financial services branch to set up a new team, which will not be affected by the replacement of Posts such as the financial secretary. More importantly, it can only be implicitly not affected by the departure of the Hong Kong British government in the future, so as to continue the United Kingdom as much as possible The secret purpose of ”incense”.
This requires a series of new top-level designs. The contents involved are mysterious. The ghost guy is busy.
