Reforms will be necessary, but painful. Example: Credit

Status quo

► SOEs and local governments receive preferential credit access.

Costs of the status quo

► SOEs and local governments are largely responsible for China’s overinvestment and inefficient capital allocation.

► As long as they carry Beijing’s implicit backing, they will continue to receive preferential credit access.

► Excess capacity and bad debt will continue to build.

Benefits of reform

► Allocating credit according to market principles would eliminate the wealth transfer that hinders household consumption and starves private enterprise of capital.

Risks of reform

► Removing implicit backing would require a major SOE or local government default.

► Credit would be re-priced on a massive scale.

Consequences of Beijing’s failed intervention

1. Intervention casts doubt on key reforms.

► Questionable commitment to President Xi’s pledge to cede a "decisive role" to the market

► Real reform of China's credit and currency markets, which are far larger and more important to the real economy than the stock market, looks increasingly doubtful.

2. Failure to implement key reforms heightens the risk of a debt crisis and diminishes the economy's long-term growth trajectory

► Reforms will be critical if China is to address mounting structural problems and transition to a more sustainable consumption-oriented growth model.

3. Failure to halt the rout risks denting party’s credibility as an economic steward.

► Confidence in the party's ability to manage the economy is partly self-fulfilling.

► So, too, would be a loss of confidence.

► Faltering faith in the government's ability to "deliver" economic growth would have serious real-world implications, including tighter credit, reduced investment, and greater market volatility.

Net export share of GDP (left) USDCNY (right)

Net exports are now less than 3% of Chinese GDP.

34

Beijing’s main motives suggest dramatic devaluation unlikely

1. RMB internationalization

► Beijing wants greater share of global trade settled in RMB and more important role for RMB assets in global portfolios.

► Inclusion in IMF's Special Drawing Rights basket would be a major milestone and would require the RMB's value to be determined by market forces.

► Freer-floating RMB is a necessary step toward long-term goal of RMB internationalization.

► Significant (30%+) devaluation would be a major setback.

35

Beijing’s main motives suggest dramatic devaluation unlikely (cont’d)

2. Curtail capital outflows

► Capital has been flowing out of China since summer 2014.

► Capital outflows undermine the PBoC's RRR cuts, which pump money into the economy.

► De facto dollar peg exacerbates capital outflows because it short-circuits the pricing mechanism that normally rebalances capital flows.

► Beijing hopes modest devaluation will relieve pressure.

► A large devaluation would risk triggering significant outflows

36

De-pegging could exacerbate capital outflows in the short term.

► Much will depend on market expectations regarding the pace and magnitude of future devaluation.

► If the market expects a fairly stable RMB, the incentive for capital flight wanes.

► If the market expects the RMB to weaken significantly, capital outflows would surge as investors look to get ahead of the move.

► Beijing is clearly aware of this risk, which is why:

1. PBoC took pains to assert that “there is no basis for persistent depreciation of RMB”

2. PBoC threatened to “severely punish illegal FX transactions…[to] maintain a compliant and orderly capital flow.“

IMF’s adequacy guidelines assess reserves against:

1. Export income► Reflects loss due to a drop in external

demand or terms of trade shock. ► Target reserves: 10% of exports (fixed

exchange rate) or 5% (floating)

2. Broad money supply► Captures residents’ capital flight from

liquidation of domestic assets► Target reserves: 10% or 5% of M2

3. Short-term debt► Reflects debt rollover risks► Target reserves: 30% of ST debt

4. Other liabilities► Reflects other portfolio outflows (e.g.,

equity & LT debt)► Target reserves: 20% or 15% of other

liabilities
