        財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)樓繼偉談財(cái)政改革

        Every year after the "two sessions", CEOs of multinational corporations and academics from international organizations gather at Beijing's Diaoyutai Guesthouse, where they put their fingers on the pulse of China's policy orientation.

        Among the Chinese officials, Finance Minister Lou Jiwei perhaps is one of the best communicators.

        Intellectual, outspoken and relaxed, the reform-minded minister has a style that contrasts starkly with that of his peers. One aspect of this is that he usually speaks extemporaneously and rarely reads from a script.

        At this year's China Development Forum at the Diaoyutai Guesthouse on March 23, Lou told two stories: One was about China's reform history, and the other touched on Los Angeles' struggle with smog.

        Lou told his audience of foreign CEOs and academics that China was faced with a dilemma of "easing top-down economic control" and "tightening control".

        Once Beijing loosened the economic control that aimed to stimulate the dynamics of local government and the market, disorder emerged, marked by rising inflation and rampant speculation. Threatened by the chaos, Beijing tightened its grip on the economy but, as a result, the economy fell into stagnation.

        "In China, we call this a vicious cycle of fangluan shousi (chaos after easing and death after tightening). It occurred more than 10 times in history. Will this time be different? I think the possibility of fangluan shousi happening again is very low," Lou said.

        Lou explained that China has come a long way from its centrally planned economy. Now, more than 98 percent of prices have been liberalized.

        He admitted that the government still holds much of the power that is supposed to belong to the market. The central task of the new reforms is to redefine the relationship between government and the market.

        To achieve this end, Lou said, one key task is to distribute power among different levels of government. The backdrop to his comments is the fact that many fiscal experts have remarked that China's local governments are underfunded and can't complete the mounting economic and social tasks. In fact, they shoulder 85 percent of the spending responsibility but get less than 50 percent of the revenue. Although much of the gap is addressed by the central government's transfer payment system, local governments are still pressured to lobby for more funds or to raise debt.

        Lou, however, presented an alternative. Rather than distributing a larger piece of the total revenue to local governments, he said it is more important to carve up administrative authority among varying levels of government. This way, the different levels of government receive different shares of money.

        This led to Lou's second story. Los Angeles' painful experience in tackling the pollution problem was not because of how many cars the city produced or how many power plants the city housed. It was because automobiles from other cities and power stations in other places polluted Los Angeles. The realization of this spawned the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

        Lou said this was a typical example of "externalities", according to economic textbooks, which is why some power should remain with provincial or national governments to address the "externalities" that county-level governments cannot enforce. He hinted that a clear stipulation of responsibility is a priority for the coming fiscal reforms.

        Foreigners I spoke with remarked that is why they like him, because Lou not only talks about what the government will do but also the consideration and rationale behind it. And he uses terms they can identify with.

        Lou also showed he is not the type of official to only embrace popular ideas.

        Asked by Harvard economics professor Martin Feldstein about China's rebalancing, he said he discounts the popular notion that China should significantly boost the share of consumption in its economy.

        "Without doubt we should increase consumption. But I wonder whether it has been overstated. We still have to maintain a relatively high savings ratio that then can be transferred to investments. Chinese society is aging fast, and we won't wish to see 10 years later that consumption kept rising while investment became insufficient," he said.

        He was challenged by Liu Chuanzhi, founder of Lenovo Group and an iconic figure to China's entrepreneurs, who said that for many years, the growth of fiscal revenue beat GDP, while GDP growth beat household income.

        "If it continues, I think China will never become an economy that is driven by domestic demand," said Liu, who received a round of applause.

        Lou replied, "I would be only too happy if what you said is true." Pausing for a second, he added, "There is no such thing."

        His words were punctuated by applause, too.

        每年在“兩會(huì)”之后,跨國(guó)公司的執(zhí)行總裁們和國(guó)際組織的學(xué)者們會(huì)相聚在北京釣魚臺(tái)國(guó)賓館,討論中國(guó)政策的走向。

        在中國(guó)官員中,財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)樓繼偉或許是最擅長(zhǎng)溝通之道的一位。

        這位一心想要改革的部長(zhǎng),機(jī)智,坦率而且隨和,他做事的風(fēng)格和其同輩人有很大的反差,其中的一方面就是他講話時(shí)常常現(xiàn)場(chǎng)發(fā)揮,很少念稿。

        今年3月23號(hào)在釣魚臺(tái)國(guó)賓館舉行的中國(guó)發(fā)展高層論壇上,樓講了兩個(gè)故事:一個(gè)是關(guān)于中國(guó)的改革歷史,另一個(gè)是洛杉磯霧霾的治理。

        樓告訴他的這些聽眾,中國(guó)面臨著一個(gè)尷尬的處境,那就是“自上而下寬松的經(jīng)濟(jì)控制”和“過緊的控制”。

        一旦北京為了刺激地方政府和市場(chǎng)的活力而放松經(jīng)濟(jì)控制的話,市場(chǎng)馬上就會(huì)出現(xiàn)混亂,出現(xiàn)通貨膨脹和猖獗的投機(jī)行為。為避免混亂,北京就加強(qiáng)其經(jīng)濟(jì)控制,但結(jié)果又會(huì)導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷。

        樓說:“在中國(guó),我們稱之為‘放亂收死’(一旦放松就出現(xiàn)混亂,一加強(qiáng)控制就沒有活力),這是一個(gè)惡性循環(huán)。在中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)歷史上,出現(xiàn)過不下10次。這次會(huì)不會(huì)呢? 我覺得再一次出現(xiàn)這種循環(huán)的可能性非常小。”

        樓解釋說,過去,中國(guó)在中央計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)下走了很長(zhǎng)一段路,現(xiàn)在98%以上的價(jià)格已經(jīng)放開了。

        他承認(rèn)政府仍然握有很大一部分屬于市場(chǎng)的權(quán)利。新改革的中心任務(wù)是重新定義政府和市場(chǎng)之間的關(guān)系。

        樓說,為了達(dá)到這個(gè)目的,其中很重要的一個(gè)任務(wù)就是放權(quán)給不同級(jí)別的政府。他的依據(jù)是中國(guó)的地方政府缺少資金,不能完成日益劇增的經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)方面的任務(wù)。事實(shí)上,他們肩負(fù)著85%的開支壓力,接受的稅收卻低于50%。盡管有中央政府的轉(zhuǎn)移支付系統(tǒng)來填補(bǔ)大部分的差距,地方政府仍然有很大壓力,得去游說資金或者增加債務(wù)。

        然而,樓提供了一個(gè)折中的辦法。與其向地方政府撥付資金,不如加大各級(jí)政府的行政自主權(quán)。這樣一來,各級(jí)政府就會(huì)得到不同份額的資金。

        這引出了樓的第二個(gè)故事。洛杉磯政府在處理污染問題上有過慘痛的經(jīng)歷,洛杉磯的污染問題并不是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)城市生產(chǎn)了多少輛車或者有多少個(gè)發(fā)電廠,而是由外來的摩托車和別處的發(fā)電廠造成。這個(gè)問題的發(fā)現(xiàn)促成聯(lián)邦環(huán)境保護(hù)署的誕生。

        樓說,這是一個(gè)“外部效應(yīng)”的典型例子,根據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)參考書,這就是為什么一些權(quán)力應(yīng)該保留在省級(jí)政府或者國(guó)家政府,因?yàn)榭h級(jí)政府沒能力處理‘外部效應(yīng)’。他示意即將到來的財(cái)政改革,重中之重是要有明確的責(zé)任劃分。

        和我交流的外國(guó)人說這就是為什么他們喜歡樓的原因,因?yàn)樗粌H談了政府將做什么,而且還有其考慮的因素和根據(jù),并且用詞通俗易懂。

        樓也表現(xiàn)出他不是那種只迎合主流意識(shí)的政府官員。

        在被哈佛經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)教授馬丁·費(fèi)爾德斯坦 (Martin Feldstein)問到中國(guó)的資金調(diào)整組合問題時(shí),樓說對(duì)于中國(guó)應(yīng)大力刺激消費(fèi)以帶動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展這種流行的想法,他不看好。

        他說:“毫無疑問,我們應(yīng)該加大消費(fèi)。但是,我懷疑是否已經(jīng)過度。我們?nèi)孕枰S持相對(duì)高的儲(chǔ)蓄率,以便能有資金用來投資。中國(guó)社會(huì)老齡化的速度很快,我們總不希望看到10年以后,消費(fèi)能力持續(xù)走高但是投資能力卻不充足。”

        聯(lián)想集團(tuán)創(chuàng)始人柳傳志,這個(gè)中國(guó)企業(yè)家的標(biāo)志性人物也向樓繼偉發(fā)問,他說:“多年來,財(cái)政稅收增長(zhǎng)比GDP快,GDP增長(zhǎng)比家庭收入快。如果繼續(xù)這樣下去,我認(rèn)為中國(guó)不可能有個(gè)以內(nèi)需帶動(dòng)發(fā)展的經(jīng)濟(jì)體。” 柳的話引來一片掌聲。

        樓回應(yīng)說,“如果你說的是對(duì)的,那我再高興不過了。”他停頓了一下,補(bǔ)充說,“這種情況不會(huì)發(fā)生。”

        他的話同樣引來了掌聲。
