Unscramble

First, the core point of view: if the economy stabilizes in the short term, can we draw a "L-shaped economy" in 2020?

(1) the postponement of trade frictions between China and the United States, the development of fiscal and monetary policies, and inventory replenishment have led to a weak stabilization of the economy in the short term, but the situation is grim in the medium term.

2019The paper has been handed in every year.GDPSpeed up6.1%,创1991The lowest level since 2000, but supported by the suspension of trade friction between China and the United States and the relaxation of fiscal and monetary policy2019Since the end of the year, the economy has stabilized briefly, exports and investment in the troika have risen slightly, and consumption has stabilized.

Meanwhile, per capitaGDPBreak through1Ten thousand US dollars, which is expected to rank first in the world.72Left and right, away from per capita12500The threshold of the US dollar's high-income economy is only one step away, and China has never been so close to the dream of developed countries in a century!

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the industry was quite divided on the macro-economy in 2020, causing great discussion, such as deflation after the removal of pigs, guarantee 6, China's economy is stabilizing and so on.

The author participated in the study of "growth shift" around 2010, and the prediction in 2014 that "the new 5% is better than the old 8%" has been verified. The "economic L-shaped" forecast for 2015 and the "new cycle" for 2017 are waiting to be tested by history and the market.

From the perspective of the three major cycles of economic operation, China's economy is in the short-term inventory replenishment cycle, the bottom of the new capacity cycle and the end of the real estate regulation cycle.

Due to the recovery of export and investment demand,PPIThe rate of decline converges, etc., and the enterprise is in2019Moderate inventory replenishment began at the end of the year.

The author is in2017At the beginning of the year, it was proposed that "We are standing at the starting point of a new cycle of production capacity".2010-2015Annual market spontaneous production capacity, superposition2016Since the beginning of supply-side reform and environmental protection supervision, China's production cycle has hit bottom, production capacity has been fully cleared, industry concentration has increased, the rest of the industry pattern is king, capacity utilization has been improved, corporate balance sheets have been repaired, and manufacturing investment has been bottomed out. In recent years, we have widely observed the evidence of "leftovers are king and the stronger are stronger" in iron and steel, chemical industry, coal, glass, paper, pig farming, banking, real estate and other industries, which has become one of the main logic of the capital market.

Under the joint action of the implementation of the long-term mechanism of real estate, the low tide of shed reform, tight financing, and developers exchanging price for quantity, it is expected that2020In 2000, the real estate market will show a pattern of stable sales and regional differentiation.Regional differentiation will increase, and real estate is gradually returning to the fundamentals of population and economy (real estate looks at population in the long term, land in the medium term and finance in the short term). First-and second-tier cities are relatively stable, sales area and sales amount have maintained positive growth; third-and fourth-tier cities sales area and amount of small negative growth.2020Investment in real estate development is expected to increase in7%Left and right, ratio2019Annual decline3One percentage point.

Rhythmically, we maintain. "2019At the end of the year-2020The economy temporarily stabilized in the first half of the year.2020The judgment of going down again in the second half of the year.

At present, the market is marginally optimistic about the economic situation, thinking that the economy is stabilizing.PMIPPIData such as social integration have stabilized and rebounded. There are three main reasons for short-term economic stabilization: first, China and the United States reached an agreement in the first stage, which reduced the risk of decoupling and partially stabilized expectations; second, the Central Economic work Conference emphasized counter-cyclical regulation and "six stability", and fiscal and monetary policies made concerted efforts.1In April, the reserve requirement was cut across the board, and the issuance of special bonds was accelerated; third, corporate profits have been repaired recently, inventories are at a low level, and the motivation to replenish inventories has increased.

We believe that the economy is only weakly stabilized in the short term, and the foundation for stabilization is not solid. Without in-depth reform and opening up, the situation is still grim in the medium to long term and may repeat itself.2019It went down again after the "Xiaoyangchun" at the beginning of the year.

From an external point of view, Sino-US trade friction is only easing rather than ending, and exports are still uncertain; from an internal point of view, real estate investment is in the downward channel affected by financing tightening, infrastructure efforts at the beginning of the year restrict the space for subsequent recovery, high leverage ratio of the residential sector and high employment pressure restrict the recovery of consumption. At the same time, entrepreneur confidence, local government enthusiasm and incentive mechanism need to be improved.

2020Can China's economy be divided into "economy" inLThe horizontal side of "type"? Is this the last decline in the economy in the last decade? Can we open a new cycle and a new era?

All this requires us to promote reform and opening up with the courage of joining the WTO for the second time.

At the same time, we are facing three new challenges: the long-term and increasingly serious trade friction between China and the United States; the approaching population crisis; and the need to mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments and entrepreneurs.

There is no doubt that if we can promote a new round of market-oriented and international-oriented reform and opening up, the best investment opportunities in the future will be in China!

(2) specifically, the current macro-economy shows ten major characteristics and trends:

12019China's economic growth rate hit a record in1991The lowest level since 2000, per capitaGDPBreak through1Ten thousand US dollars, ranking first in the world.72It belongs to the middle and high income level, which is only one step away from the high-income economy.In 2019, GDP grew by 6.1% in real terms, down 0.5% from the previous year, and declined quarter by quarter as a whole, with growth rates of 6.4%, 6.2%, 6.0% and 6.0% respectively in the four quarters.

From the perspective of structureThe growth rate of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries all declined, of which the information transmission, software and information technology services maintained rapid growth over the same period last year.18.7%, but more than2018Annual decline12Consumption still dominates the economy.

2The growth rate of fixed asset investment picked up slightly from the previous month, with real estate investment continuing to slow, infrastructure investment falling slightly, and manufacturing investment rebounding but still bottoming out.Fixed asset investment in 2019 increased by 5.4% year-on-year, up 0.2 percentage points from January to November and 0.5 percentage points lower than the whole of 2018; the growth rate in December was 11.8%, up 6.6 percentage points from November. Of this total, private fixed asset investment was 4.7% year-on-year, up 0.2 percentage points from January to November and down 4.0 percentage points from 2018.

China and AmericaTrade frictions will temporarily benefit exports and manufacturing investment, infrastructure construction in the collection of special bonds will rise at the beginning of the year, and fixed asset investment may pick up in the short term in the first quarter.

However, real estate investment is still in the downward channel,PPIDeflation suppresses corporate profits, Sino-US trade frictions are still likely to be repeated, fiscal overdraft at the beginning of the year and fixed asset investment may fall again in the middle of the year.

312The monthly growth rate of real estate sales turned negative, with a sharp decline in the growth rate of sales area in first-tier cities, mainly due to the demand for overdraft promotion by housing enterprises in the previous period.. The "policy due to the city" under the tone of "housing speculation" may make some cities slightly relax purchase restrictions and social security requirements according to the local situation, but the financing situation determines that real estate sales will remain depressed. The area of real estate sales in December was-1.7% year-on-year, down 2.8 percentage points from the previous month; cumulatively, sales in 2019 were-0.1% year-on-year, down 0.3 percentage points from January to November and 1.4 percentage points from 2018. From a city-by-city point of view, the decline in sales in first-tier cities is related to the previous housing enterprises vigorously promoting overdraft part of the purchase demand, second-tier city sales rebounded but still maintained negative growth.

12Monthly housing enterprises in place capital growth rebounded, the main support is still residents' deposit and advance payment.The total amount of real estate funds in 2019 was 7.6% year-on-year, 0.6 percentage points higher than January-November and 1.2 percentage points higher than 2018, and 13.8% year-on-year in December, up 7.3 percentage points from the previous month. Of this total, domestic loans totaled 5.1% year-on-year, down 0.4 percentage points from January to November, reflecting tight real estate financing; in December, it was 0.9% year-on-year, up 18 percentage points from the previous month. Deposits and advance payments play an outstanding role in supporting the funds of real estate enterprises, with a total of 10.7% year-on-year for the whole year, up 0.7% from January to November, and 17.2% in December, up 1.8 percentage points from the previous month. The proportion of deposits and advance receipts in real estate funds remained high, accounting for 38.0% in December, an increase of 3.4 percentage points over the previous month. Personal mortgage loans totaled 15.1% year-on-year, 1.2 percentage points higher than January-November, and 26.3% year-on-year in December, up 14.1% from the previous month.

2019The Central Economic work Conference in # reiterated that "housing is not speculative", and the overall policy is still too tight. Housing enterprise financing tightening, sales cooling, land purchase negative growth, real estate investment will continue to decline, but the supporting force is the acceleration of completion and old reform.In 2019, real estate investment totaled 9.9% year-on-year, down 0.3 percentage points from January to November and 0.4 percentage points higher than 2018; and 7.4% year-on-year in December, down 1.0 percentage points from the previous month, reflecting a slow decline in investment under tight policies. Among them, the growth rate of new construction area decreased slightly, mainly due to the continuous negative growth of land purchase area to new construction. The cumulative growth rate of completion continues to pick up, mainly reflecting the approaching delivery of a large number of short-term housing sales around 2016, which is the support of recent construction and real estate investment.2019The land purchase area has a negative growth, the transaction premium rate is declining, and the land market is cooling.The area of land purchased in 2019 was-11.4% compared with the same period last year, up 2.8 percentage points from January to November and down 25.6 percentage points from 2018. According to the data of the Central finger Academy, the average premium rate of land transactions in 300 cities in 2019 is 13%, which is the same as that in 2018, but the premium rate shows a downward trend quarter by quarter. The premium rate is 13% and 21% respectively in the first and second quarters, and 10% and 9% respectively in the third and fourth quarters.

4The decline in the growth rate of infrastructure in that month was mainly dragged down by water conservancy investment, and hydropower heat continued to grow at a high rate.Road transport continues to pick up.The cumulative growth rate of infrastructure investment (including hydropower and gas) from January to December 2019 was 3.3%, down 0.2 percentage points from January to November and 1.5 percentage points higher than that of 2018.2020Special bond issuance accelerated at the beginning of the year, and the growth rate of infrastructure investment will rebound in the first quarter.As of January 17, 2020, the issuance of local government bonds across the country is expected to reach 686.5 billion yuan, including 649.9 billion yuan for special debt and 36.7 billion yuan for general debt, which has exceeded the scale of January 2019.However, the Central Economic work Conference did not mention the substantial increase in special debts and the strict control of hidden debts by local governments.2020The railway investment target for the year is only flat.2019At the beginning of the year, the infrastructure will overdraw the follow-up space, and the growth rate of infrastructure for the whole year will be high before and low after.

5Manufacturing investment rebounded and high-tech investment was relatively fast.Investment in the manufacturing sector accumulated 3.1% year-on-year in 2019, up 0.5 percentage points from January to November and 6.4 percentage points lower than 2018, and 9.2% year-on-year in December, up 7.6 percentage points from November.Look at it by industryInvestment in the computer industry totaled 16.8% from January to December compared with the same period last year, up 3.2 percentage points from January to November, mainly due to policy dividends and accelerated construction of 5G, and profits continued to repair.The rebound in investment in manufacturing this month is mainly due to the suspension of trade frictions between China and the United States, the improvement of the export environment, and the gradual effect of monetary and fiscal policies, which is consistent with the rebound in the proportion of medium-and long-term loans by enterprises.

However, the global economic downturn,PPIDeflation suppresses corporate profits and credit stratification is still prominent, and there is limited room for manufacturing investment to rebound.First, with the global economic downturn, the positive effects of global interest rate cuts will abate and the improvement in exports will be limited. Second, PPI in December was-0.5% year-on-year, down 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, but for six consecutive months of negative growth. Third, at present, the financing of private enterprises is difficult and expensive, and the growth rate, structure and cost of financing scale of private enterprises are lower than that of state-owned enterprises. Since April 2019, the credit spreads of private enterprises and state-owned enterprises have exceeded 200BP and remain at an all-time high.

612The zero growth rate of the monthly society was stable, and automobile consumption changed from negative to positive. Future consumption is restrained by residents' high leverage ratio, declining income, depressed employment and weak wealth effect in the housing market.In 2019, the total volume of retail sales of consumer goods was 8% year-on-year, down 1% from the previous year, and the real growth rate was 6%, down 0.9% from the previous year. Retail sales of consumer goods grew by 8% in nominal terms in December, the same as the previous month.From the perspective of consumer categories, automobiles, oil and products are the main pulling items, while real estate-related consumer goods are the main drag.1) Automobile consumption was 1.8% year-on-year, up 3.6% from the previous month, while excluding cars, consumption was 8.9% year-on-year, down 0.2% from the previous month. 2) affected by the increase in oil prices, consumption of oil and products was 4% year-on-year, up 3.5 percentage points from the previous month. 3) affected by the decline in the growth rate of commercial housing sales, household appliances and furniture consumption were 2.7% and 1.8% respectively compared with the same period last year, down 7 and 4.7 percentage points respectively from the previous month.

It is difficult to spend in the future:1) the employment situation is grim. In December, the PMI employment index was 47.3%, the lowest level in a decade; the unemployment rate surveyed in cities and towns was 5.2%. 2) the per capita disposable income of residents across the country declined quarter by quarter, with a real growth rate of 5.8% in 2019, down 0.7 percentage points from 2018. 3) the leverage ratio of China's residential sector continues to rise, reaching 56.3% in the third quarter of 2019, squeezing consumption. 4) the wealth effect of the stock market and housing market weakens and suppresses consumption.

712Monthly exports changed from negative to positive compared with the same period last year, mainly benefiting from the suspension of Sino-US trade frictions, a brief recovery in the global economy and a low base effect.China's exports rose 7.6% in December from a year earlier, up 8.9 percentage points from November, and cumulative exports in 2019 were 0.5% year-on-year, up 0.7 percentage points from January to November. 1) the progress of Sino-US trade negotiations has improved the expectations of foreign trade enterprises, and foreign trade enterprises have been more optimistic about short-term exports since November; 2) the Spring Festival is ahead of schedule, and enterprises are concentrated in customs declaration in December. 3) the base number is low.12The monthly increase in imports expanded compared with the same period last year, and China's imports from the United States continued.2Achieve restorative growth in six months. The value of China's imports rose 16.3 percent in December from a year earlier, up 15.5 percentage points from November; imports in 2019 were-2.8 percent year-on-year, up 1.5 percentage points from January to November.

The futureIn the short term, imports and exports will recover due to the easing of Sino-US trade frictions and the expected improvement of enterprises, but in the medium and long term, imports and exports will still be restricted by negative factors such as the global economic downturn and the US containment strategy against China.

8The caliber of social finance has been adjusted again, and the new social finance of the old caliber is basically in line with market expectations, while the new caliber has not been greatly improved. From the perspective of the annual credit structure, the increase in the proportion of short-term loans and bills is much higher than that of medium-and long-term corporate loans, and the structure still needs to be improved. We look forward to the continued development of the wide credit policy.Under the old standard, social finance increased by about 1.7 trillion in December, and the growth rate of stock social finance was 10.8%, up 0.1% from November. From the perspective of social finance structure, on-balance sheet loans are still the main force, in which medium-and long-term loans to enterprises and residents have rebounded, reflecting the previous counter-cyclical adjustment of monetary policy. From the perspective of the credit structure for the whole year, the increase in the proportion of short-term loans and bills is much higher than that of medium-and long-term corporate loans, and the structure still needs to be improved. M2 grew 8.7 per cent year-on-year, up 0.5 percentage points from the previous month, mainly driven by a short-term improvement in loan demand and a decline in fiscal deposits. M1 grew 4.4% from the same period last year, up 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, reflecting a rebound in transactional demand from residents and enterprises at the end of the year.

Social finance is expected to stabilize in the short term in the first quarter, but2020The downward pressure on the economy is still great in the middle of each year, the credit stratification situation has not improved, the social integration in the whole year may show a trend of high in front and low in the back, and the financial situation is still grim.

912CPIYear-on-year4.5%Month-to-month ratio0%The main driving force is still food, especially porkIn terms of foodPork prices rose 97.0% year-on-year, affecting CPI to rise by about 2.34%. With the recovery of pig production, the increase of imports and the increase of government reserves, the contradiction between supply and demand of pork has been alleviated. Affected by cold air and widespread snowfall, the costs of production, storage and transportation of fresh vegetables and fruits have increased, and prices have increased by 10.6% and 0.6% respectively.Non-food aspectNon-food CPI is only 1.3% year-on-year, while core CPI is 1.4% year-on-year. It is estimated that in 2020, CPI will be about 3.5% year-on-year, high in the front and low in the next.

201912PPIYear-on-year-0.5%The rate of decrease is larger.11Monthly narrowing0.9Percentage pointsIt is mainly due to the rise in oil and gas prices, the lagging effect of the previous fiscal and monetary policy, and the suspension of Sino-US trade frictions.The issuance of special bonds was accelerated ahead of schedule, there were more local reserve projects superimposed with warm winter weather, the expectation of capital construction was better, and the PMI of infrastructure construction industry rose sharply, driving the month-on-month rise of ferrous and non-ferrous metal smelting industry from decline to increase, and the month-on-month ratio of non-metallic mineral processing industry was still high. It is estimated that in 2020, PPI will be about 0.1% year-on-year, gradually rebounding from negative growth to more than zero.

10, manufacturingPMIThe index is50.2%For two months in a row50%The above is mainly supported by production and new export orders.From an itemized point of view, the increase in procurement volume and the decline in raw material inventory is mainly due to the acceleration of production; the expected decline in business operation, policies still need to make efforts to stabilize growth; the rebound in PMI is mainly contributed by medium-sized enterprises, and the expansion rate of large enterprises slows down, but the PMI data of small enterprises decline across the board; seasonal factors promote the decline in the prosperity of the construction industry, but it is mainly a drag on the real estate construction industry.

(3) Policy suggestions: steady growth through tax reduction, capital construction and interest rate reduction, and supply-side structural reform should be changed from subtraction to addition.

The main contradiction of the current macroeconomic situation is that there is great downward pressure on the economy. "after the removal of pigs, there will be deflation." it is necessary to put stable growth in a more important position. The main contradiction of the short-term economy is the lack of total demand, which needs to strengthen counter-cyclical regulation, fiscal, monetary, exchange rate and other policies work together, finance is superior to currency, and currency is superior to exchange rate. The long-term contradiction is that supply-side reform is not in place, total factor productivity needs to be improved, and promote reform and opening up with the courage of entering the WTO for the second time.

We suggest2020In 2000, the fiscal policy was more active, balanced finance turned to functional finance, the deficit ratio and the scale of special debt issuance were raised, and the deficit and special debt reached two. "3Trillion yuan, support tax reduction and infrastructure construction, release water for fish farming, and expand domestic demand. When the effect of monetary policy is limited, fiscal policy should bear more responsibility, and fiscal policy is a structural policy, which can solve the structural problems that monetary policy is difficult to solve.

First, we should appropriately expand the deficit, especially the central fiscal deficit, and the deficit ratio can be broken through.3%Total deficit3Trillion yuan to make room for reducing taxes and fees, increasing spending and stabilizing infrastructure.

SecondIncrease the amount of special debt from2019Yearly2.15Trillion is raised to3Trillions. Modify the lifelong liability of local debt as soon as possible, and allow population inflow into metropolitan areas and regional central cities to make moderately advanced infrastructure investment.

Third, optimize the way of reducing taxes and fees, from the current tax reduction pattern mainly aimed at value-added tax to reducing social security rates and corporate income tax rates, so as to enhance the sense of achievement of enterprises.

Fourth, increase the proportion of profits handed over to state-owned enterprises to avoid local governments' behaviors such as "arbitrary charges" that worsen the business environment in the context of declining revenue growth.

Fifth, reduce expenditure other than social security for people's livelihood, streamline institutional personnel, optimize expenditure structure, and improve the efficiency of fiscal expenditure.

Sixth, we should reform the financial system, delegate power to local governments, stabilize the 50-50 share of value-added tax between the central and local governments, and gradually implement the consumption tax.

Suggestion2020Normal counter-cyclical adjustment of monetary policy inInstead of flooding, we will cut interest rates in a small, high-frequency and reform manner to guide real interest rates down.Dredge the transmission mechanism of interest rates, improve liquidity stratification, eliminate ownership discrimination, correct tight real estate financing, give priority to rigid demand and improved demand, and shift from broad money to broad credit.The current price situation is deflation rather than inflation, and the removal of pig prices is deflation. In particular, the current economic situation cannot be defined as "stagflation". At present, there is no basis for overall inflation. At the same time, do not equate the macro counter-cyclical adjustment of normal reserve requirement and interest rate reduction with flood irrigation.

Pass through2016-2019After the year of "capacity removal, inventory deleveraging, deleveraging"We suggest that from2020Starting from 2000, the supply-side structural reform should go from subtraction in the past to addition in the future, with eight major reforms as a breakthrough to open a new era of high-quality development: deregulation and opening up both internally and externally; reducing taxes and fees and releasing water and fish; to make up for the shortcomings of moderately advanced infrastructure in the population inflow areas, and to promote the construction of a long-term mechanism of real estate with human-land linkage and financial stability as the core.Take the reform of the registration system as the starting point to improve the supporting system of the multi-level capital market; encourage market-oriented mergers and acquisitions to stimulate the vitality of the capital market; alleviate the risk of equity pledge and enhance the confidence of private enterprises.

II. The real growth rate of GDP in 2019 is 6.1%, the lowest since 1991, and the per capita GDP has exceeded 10, 000 US dollars.

2019China's economic growth rate hit a record in1991The lowest level since 2000, per capitaGDPLeap over1The mark of ten thousand dollars.In 2019, the GDP for the whole year was 99.0865 trillion yuan, with a nominal growth rate of 7.8 percent and a real growth rate of 6.1 percent, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous year.

According to the 2018 data of the World Bank, it is expected to rank about 72 in the world.

From the perspective of structureThe growth rates of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries are all declining; the contribution of consumption to the economy is still dominant. From the perspective of industryFor the whole year, the primary, secondary and tertiary industries accounted for 7.1%, 39% and 53.9% respectively, up 3.1%, 5.7% and 6.9% over the same period last year, down 0.4%, 0.1% and 0.7% respectively from 2018, and driving GDP growth by 0.2%, 2.2% and 3.6% respectively.

logoIII. The growth rate of investment in fixed assets has rebounded, mainly driven by investment in manufacturing, while the growth rate of investment in real estate and infrastructure has declined.

The cumulative growth rate of fixed asset investment rebounded slightly from last month, with real estate investment continuing to slow, manufacturing investment rebounding but still depressed, and infrastructure investment falling slightly.For the whole of 2019, fixed asset investment rose 5.4% from the same period last year, up 0.2 percentage points from January to November and 0.5 percentage points lower than the whole of 2018; the monthly growth rate was 11.8%, up 6.6 percentage points from November.

Among them, investment in infrastructure (excluding hydropower and gas) in 2019 was 3.8% year on year, down 0.2 percentage points from January to November and the same as 2018; investment in infrastructure (including water, electricity and gas) was 3.3% year on year, 0.2 percentage points lower than January to November and 1.7 percentage points higher than 2018 Real estate investment was 9.9% year-on-year, down 0.3 percentage points from January-November and 0.4 percentage points higher than 2018, still the main supporting force of investment. Manufacturing investment was 3.1% year-on-year, 0.6 percentage points higher than January-November and 6.4 percentage points lower than 2018. At the same time, private fixed asset investment was 4.7% year-on-year, up 0.2 percentage points from January to November and down 4.0 percentage points from 2018.

The postponement of Sino-US trade friction is good for exports and manufacturing investment, 2020The issuance and use of special bonds at the beginning of the year led to capital construction investment, and fixed asset investment may rise in the short term in the first quarter.First, trade frictions between China and the United States have eased, which is good for exports. at the same time, the 2019 Central Economic work Conference emphasized increasing medium-and long-term financing for the manufacturing industry and building advanced manufacturing clusters, which is conducive to the stabilization of manufacturing investment at a low level. Second, the issuance of special bonds accelerated significantly in 2020, and infrastructure concentrated efforts at the beginning of the year, which may be expected to hedge the downward impact of real estate investment.However, real estate investment is still in the downward channel,PPIDeflation suppresses corporate profits, Sino-US trade frictions are still possible, and there is room for fiscal overdraft at the beginning of the year, 2020Fixed asset investment may fall again in the middle of the year.First, the global economic downturn, broad currency to broad credit transmission is not smooth, PPI continues deflation, corporate profits are still in the downward channel, manufacturing investment sharp rebound is still limited. Second, the Central Economic work Conference reiterated that "housing speculation", the overall tightening of financing, cooling sales, a substantial negative growth in land purchases, real estate investment will continue to decline slowly. Third, trade frictions will ease in the short term, but there is still a possibility of repetition in 2020. Fourth, the Central Economic work Conference did not mention a substantial expansion of special bonds. In 2020, capital construction will focus on overdrawing follow-up capacity at the beginning of the year, and infrastructure investment in the whole year will be high before and low after.

IV. Real estate sales turn negative, funds are still tight, and investment slows down.

12The monthly growth rate of real estate sales turned negative, with a sharp decline in the growth rate of sales area in first-tier cities, mainly due to the demand for overdraft promotion by housing enterprises in the previous period.. On the whole, the "policy due to the city" under the tone of "housing speculation" may make some cities slightly relax purchase restrictions and social security requirements according to the local situation, but the financing situation determines that real estate sales will remain depressed. The area of real estate sales in December was-1.7% year-on-year, down 2.8 percentage points from the previous month.Look at it by citySales in first-tier cities fell back. Sales in first-tier cities in December were-13.4% year-on-year, down 34 percentage points from the previous month, related to the demand for housing overdraft promoted by housing enterprises in the previous period. Sales in second-tier cities were-1.3% year-on-year, up 10.3 percentage points from the previous month, but still maintained negative growth. After the rapid growth in the past two years, third-and fourth-tier cities are facing the decline of demand overdraft and shed reform dividend, resulting in greater downward pressure on the market. From a cumulative point of view, annual sales in 2019 were-0.1% year-on-year, down 0.3 percentage points from January to November and 1.4 percentage points from 2018. From a regional point of view, the cumulative sales area of commercial housing in the eastern, central, western and northeast regions is-1.5%,-1.3%, 4.4% and-5.3% respectively, which is-0.2,-1.0, 0.6 and-0.8 percentage points higher than that from January to November.

12The capital growth rate of housing enterprises in place rebounded in June, mainly supported by residents' deposits and advance payments and mortgage loans.The total amount of real estate funds in 2019 was 7.6% year-on-year, 0.6 percentage points higher than January-November and 1.2 percentage points higher than 2018; the same month was 13.8% year-on-year, up 7.3 percentage points from the previous month. Of this total, domestic loans totaled 5.1% year-on-year, down 0.4 percentage points from January to November, reflecting tight real estate financing; the month was 0.9% year-on-year, up 18 percentage points from the previous month. Deposits and advance payments play an outstanding role in supporting the funds of real estate enterprises, with a total of 10.7% year-on-year for the whole year, up 0.7% from January to November, and 17.2% in the same month, up 1.8% from the previous month. The proportion of deposits and advance receipts in real estate funds remained high, accounting for 38.0% in December, an increase of 3.4 percentage points over the previous month. Personal mortgage loans totaled 15.1% year-on-year, 1.2 percentage points higher than January-November, and 26.3% year-on-year in the same month, up 14.1% from the previous month.

2019The Central Economic work Conference in # reiterated that "housing is not speculative", and the overall policy is still too tight. Housing enterprise financing tightening, sales cooling, land purchase negative growth, real estate investment will continue to decline, but the supporting force is the acceleration of completion and old reform.In 2019, real estate investment totaled 9.9% year-on-year, down 0.3 percentage points from January to November and 0.4 percentage points higher than 2018; and 7.4% year-on-year in December, down 1.0 percentage points from the previous month, reflecting a slow decline in investment under tight policies. The total area of new construction in 2019 was 8.5% year-on-year, down 0.1 percentage points from January to November, and 7.4% in December, down 1.1 percentage points from the previous month. The decline in the growth rate of new construction area is mainly due to the continuous negative growth of land purchase area in the early stage. The total construction area from January to December was 8.7% year on year, the same as that from January to November, and 9.2% year on year in December, up 11.7 percentage points from the previous month. The total area completed from January to December was 2.6% year-on-year, up 7.1 percentage points from January-November, and 20.2% year-on-year in the same month, up 18.4 percentage points from the previous month. The cumulative growth rate of completion continues to pick up, mainly reflecting the approaching delivery of a large number of short-term housing sales around 2016, which is the support of recent construction and real estate investment.2019The land purchase area has a negative growth, the transaction premium rate has declined, and the land market has cooled down.. The area of land purchased in 2019 was-11.4% from the same period last year, up 2.8 percentage points from January to November and down 25.6 percentage points from 2018, and 7.5% from the same month last month, up 8.3 percentage points from the previous month. According to the data of the Central finger Academy, the average premium rate of land transactions in 300 cities in 2019 is 13%, which is the same as that in 2018, but the premium rate shows a downward trend quarter by quarter. The premium rate is 13% and 21% respectively in the first and second quarters, and 10% and 9% respectively in the third and fourth quarters. The decline in transaction and premium rates reflects the continued downturn in the land market.2019The Central Economic work Conference reaffirmed "housing speculation" in 2020.The "old reform" may become the support of real estate investment in. The "long-term management and control mechanism of stabilizing land prices, stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations" indicates that the future real estate market will be mainly "stable" and regulated at the right time. Because the local government will have more authority to implement the policy, some cities will timely relax the purchase and sale restrictions and reduce the number of social security months according to local conditions. The pre-sale of short-term housing needs to be completed and delivered, speed up the transformation of old residential areas, real estate investment has a bottom, is expected to be about 6%.

Real estate inventory continues to be depleted, equivalent to 2013.Year-end level. Commercial housing sales in 2015, 2016 and 2017 were 14.4%, 34.8% and 13.7% respectively compared with the same period last year, and the sales area was 6.5%, 22.5% and 7.7% respectively compared with the same period last year, while investment in real estate development grew by 1.0%, 6.9% and 7% respectively. The area for sale of commercial housing in December 2019 is equivalent to the level at the end of 2013, falling rapidly from 24.4 per cent at the beginning of 2016 to-3.2 per cent,-15.3 per cent,-11 per cent and-4.9 per cent in December 2019, 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively.

V. Investment in the manufacturing industry has rebounded, and investment in high technology is relatively fast.

Manufacturing investment rebounded and high-tech investment continued to grow. Investment in the manufacturing sector accumulated 3.1% year-on-year in 2019, up 0.6 percentage points from January to November and 6.4 percentage points lower than 2018, and 9.2% year-on-year in December, up 7.6 percentage points from November.Look at it by industryInvestment in the computer industry totaled 16.8% from January to December compared with the same period last year, up 3.0 percentage points from January to November, mainly due to policy dividends and accelerated construction of 5G, and profits continued to repair. The accumulative total of chemical raw materials and textiles was 4.2% and-8.9% respectively from the same period last year, down 0.4% and 0.2% from January to November, affected by trade frictions in the previous period. Investment in automobile manufacturing was-1.5% year-on-year, an increase of 1.1% over the previous month, related to the continued downturn in automobile consumption.Investment in high-tech industries is growing rapidlyFrom January to December, investment in high-tech industries increased by 17.3%, 11.9 percentage points faster than total investment, of which investment in high-tech manufacturing and high-tech services increased by 17.7% and 16.5% respectively.

The rebound in investment in manufacturing this month is mainly due to the suspension of trade frictions between China and the United States, the improvement of the export environment, and the gradual effect of monetary and fiscal policies, which is consistent with the rebound in the proportion of medium-and long-term loans by enterprises.First, the signing of the first phase of the economic and trade agreement between China and the United States, not levying new tariffs and lowering some of the tariffs already imposed, will help boost short-term exports; second, the Central Economic work Conference emphasizes increasing medium-and long-term financing for the manufacturing industry and guiding the optimization and upgrading of the manufacturing industry; third, profits are ahead of investment, and the profits of industrial enterprises have rebounded recently. From January to November, the total profits of industrial enterprises totaled-2.1% year-on-year, down 0.8 percentage points from the previous month; in November, 5.4% year-on-year, up 15.3 percentage points from the previous month. Fourth, medium-and long-term loans for new enterprises accounted for 34.9% in December, an increase of 4.5 percentage points over November, and the willingness of private enterprises to invest has been repaired.But the global economic downturn,PPIDeflation suppresses corporate profits and credit stratification is still prominent, and there is limited room for manufacturing investment to rebound.First, with the global economic downturn, the positive effects of global interest rate cuts will abate and the improvement in exports will be limited. Second, PPI in December was-0.5% year-on-year, down 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, but for six consecutive months of negative growth. Third, at present, the financing of private enterprises is difficult and expensive, and the growth rate, structure and cost of financing scale of private enterprises are lower than that of state-owned enterprises. Since April 2019, the credit spreads of private enterprises and state-owned enterprises have exceeded 200BP and remain at an all-time high.

VI. The growth rate of infrastructure has declined slightly, which is mainly dragged down by water conservancy investment. Efforts will be concentrated at the beginning of 2020.

The cumulative growth rate of infrastructure investment (including hydropower and gas) from January to December in 2019 was 3.3%, down 0.2 percentage points from January to November and 1.7 percentage points higher than 2018, and 2.0% year-on-year in December, down 3.2 percentage points from the previous month.The decline in infrastructure growth in that month was mainly dragged down by water conservancy investment.From January to December, the water conservancy management industry accumulated 1.4 percent year-on-year, down 0.3 percentage points from the previous month; the same month-1.6 percent, down 12.9 percentage points from the previous month. Railway investment totaled-0.1% year-on-year, down 1.7 percentage points from January to November; in the same month, it was-9.1% year-on-year, up 17.9% from the previous month. The slowdown in investment growth in the railway transport industry reflects the impact of forward investment during the year. The target of railway investment in 2019 is 800 billion yuan, which is only 68 billion yuan more than that in 2018. The high growth of railway investment in the previous period has led to a slow decline in follow-up investment.Electric heating and water burning continued to grow at a high rate, and road transport continued to pick up.From January to December, the cumulative investment in electric water and road transport was 4.5% and 9.0% respectively compared with the same period last year, an increase of 0.9% and 0.2% respectively over January-November. Highway investment rebounded or reflected the positive role of special debt allowed to be used as capital.

2020Special bond issuance accelerated at the beginning of the year, fiscal expenditure moved forward to tie in with monetary policy, and the growth rate of infrastructure investment will rebound in the first quarter.On November 27, 2019, the Ministry of Finance issued ahead of schedule an increase of 1 trillion yuan in part of the special debt limit for 2020. According to the China Bond Information Network, special bonds in Sichuan, Henan and Yunnan provinces will be issued by public tender from January 2, 2020, while the first batch of special bonds will be issued from January 21 in 2019, indicating that the progress of special bond issuance will be further accelerated in 2020. As of January 17, 2020, the amount of special bonds issued was 649.9 billion yuan, while that of local special bonds was 154.5 billion yuan in January 2019. As a result, infrastructure efforts at the beginning of 2020 will exceed that of last year.However, the Central Economic work Conference did not mention the substantial increase in special debt and the strict control of hidden debt by local governments. At the beginning of the year, infrastructure development will be overdrawn, and the growth rate of infrastructure for the whole year will be high before and then low.First, the railway investment target in 2020 is only the same as in 2019, and the national transportation work will be held in 2020. The meeting proposed that the railway investment of 800 billion yuan and highway and waterway investment of 1.8 trillion yuan will be completed in 2020, which is basically the same as the 2019 target, with no significant increase. Second, compared with the 2018 Central Economic work Conference proposed to "greatly increase the size of local government special bonds", the 2019 meeting did not mention, but paid more attention to improving quality and efficiency, so the expansion of special bonds in 2020 is limited. Third, the pressure of local government debt repayment is great, and the hidden debt is strictly controlled.

VII. consumption is stable and will be restrained by high leverage, declining income and weak wealth effect in the housing market in the future.

12The monthly growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods was stable, automobile consumption changed from negative to positive, and overall downward for the whole year.Retail sales of consumer goods grew by 8% in nominal terms in December, the same as the previous month. In 2019, the total volume of retail sales of consumer goods was 8% year-on-year, down 1% from the previous year, and the real growth rate was 6%, down 0.9% from the previous year.

From the perspective of consumer categories, automobiles, oil and essential consumer goods are the main pulling items, while real estate-related consumer goods and upgraded consumer goods are the main drag. oneCar consumption in December was 1.8% year-on-year, up 3.6 percentage points from the previous month.2The growth rate of essential consumer goods generally increases and remains at a relatively high growth rate.Affected by high prices, consumption of beverages, tobacco, alcohol, grain, oil and food was 13.9%, 12.5% and 9.7% respectively over the same period last year, up 0.9%, 4.2% and 0.8% respectively over the previous month. threeAffected by the increase in oil prices, consumption of oil and products was 4% year-on-year, up 3.5 percentage points from last month.4) the growth rate of consumer goods related to the real estate chain is decliningAffected by the decline in the growth rate of commercial housing sales, consumption of household appliances and furniture were 2.7% and 1.8% respectively from the same period last year, down 7 and 4.7 percentage points respectively from the previous month.5Affected by the demand for overdraft in the "Singles Day" promotion, consumption of cosmetics and clothing grew by 11.9% and 1.9% respectively, down 4.9% and 2.7% respectively from the previous month.

From the perspective of consumption areaThe growth rate of consumption in urban and rural areas was 7.8% and 9.1% respectively, which was-0.1 and 0 percentage points higher than that of last month.

In the future, the pressure on employment will remain, the quality of employment will decline, the growth rate of income will decline, the wealth effect of the stock market and housing market is weak, the high leverage ratio of residents will squeeze consumption, and consumption will continue to be under pressure.1) the economy is declining, the operation of private enterprises is difficult, and the employment situation is grim. In December, the PMI employment index was 47.3%, which was at a low level in a decade. The surveyed unemployment rate in cities and towns was 5.2%. The total number of new jobs in cities and towns from January to December was 13.52 million,-0.6% from the same period last year, down 1.4 percentage points from 2018. 2) the per capita disposable income of residents across the country declined quarter by quarter, with a real growth rate of 5.8% in 2019, down 0.7 percentage points from 2018. 3) the leverage ratio of China's residential sector continues to rise, reaching 56.3% in the third quarter of 2019, squeezing consumption. 4) the policy is committed to "stabilizing housing prices", and the wealth effect of the housing market is still weak, restraining consumption.

VIII. Sino-US trade frictions have been suspended, overseas economies have picked up briefly, and imports and exports have rebounded.

12Monthly exports changed from negative to positive compared with the same period last year, mainly due to the suspension of trade frictions between China and the United States, a brief recovery in overseas economies, and a low base.In 2019, cumulative exports were 0.5% year-on-year, down 9.4 percentage points from the previous year. China's exports rose 7.6% in December from a year earlier, up 8.9 percentage points from November. Main cause:1) Sino-US trade friction has been suspendedOn December 13, 2019, China and the United States agreed on the text of the first phase of the agreement, and the United States promised to abolish tariffs on the remaining US $160 billion of goods on December 15 to benefit exports.2) low baseIn December 2018, the value of exports was-1.5% from the previous month, 9.3 percentage points lower than the monthly average of 7.8% from 2013 to December 2017.Look at different countries and regions12In March, China's export growth rate to major economies except South Korea and Russia increased to varying degrees.Specifically, the growth rate of China's exports to the United States was-14.6%, 8.4 percentage points lower than the decline last month, and the effect of tariff reduction gradually became apparent. The growth rates of exports to Brazil, Canada, Australia, India, ASEAN, EU, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan were 71.1%, 0.9%, 11.5%, 7.8%, 27.4%, 6.6%, 16%, 1.9%,-3.4%, respectively. They increased by 58.2%, 15.7%, 11.6%, 11.6%, 10.7%, 10.4%, 9.5%, 9.1% and 4.4% respectively over the previous month.Look at it by productExports of labor-intensive products, mechanical and electrical products and high-tech products in December were 11.0%, 7.5% and 0.6% respectively from a year earlier, up 14.3%, 9.6% and 2.1% respectively from November.

12Monthly imports rose sharply from a year earlier, mainly due to China's expanded imports of agricultural products and a low base.In 2019, imports were-2.8% year-on-year, down 18.6% from the previous year; in December, China's imports were 16.3% year-on-year, up 15.5% from the previous month. The main reasons: 1) China expanded its imports of US agricultural products and automobiles. According to the General Administration of Customs, in December, China imported 14.1 billion yuan of agricultural products from the United States, an increase of about three times, and imported 23000 cars, an increase of 1.5 times. 2) from a low base, the value of imports in December 2018 is-10.1%, which is 19.8 percentage points lower than the average of 9.8% in December 2013-2017.Look at different countries and regionsChina's imports from ASEAN, the European Union, Japan, Taiwan and the United States all picked up, with imports from the United States rising 2.7 percent in December from a year earlier to 7.8 percent.Look at imported productsImports of agricultural products, commodities, mechanical and electrical products and high-tech products all rebounded compared with the same period last year. 1) imports of agricultural products in December were 37.9% year-on-year, up 4.7 percentage points from the previous month. Of this total, the amount of soybean imports was 52.7% year on year, up 11.8 percentage points from the previous month. 2) Commodity imports in December were 11.2% year on year, up 17.6% from the previous month, and the volume and prices of iron ore, oil products, steel, copper and other commodities rose. 3) imports of mechanical and electrical products and high-tech products were 16.9% and 16.7% respectively over the same period last year, up 13.3% and 11.9% respectively over the previous month. Of this total, imports of integrated circuits were 30.2% year-on-year, up 12.7 percentage points from the previous month.

In the short term, exports may recover due to the easing of Sino-US trade frictions and the temporary recovery of the global economy, but in the medium to long term, exports are still restricted by the uncertainty of Sino-US trade frictions and the downward cycle of the global economy. Imports may rise as a result of promises to increase imports from the United States and lower tariffs.1Global monetary easing has shown its effect, underpinning the global economy.At present, the global manufacturing PMI is 50.1%, which has been on the rise and fall line for two months in a row. PMI growth in emerging economies such as Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan has rebounded to varying degrees; the OECD composite leading index bottomed out in October and rebounded slightly in November; and South Korea's imports and exports narrowed year-on-year in December.2) Sino-US trade friction has been suspendedOn January 15, 2020, China and the United States signed the first phase of the economic and trade agreement, reducing tariff rates to boost future exports. China has pledged to increase imports of goods and services from the United States by at least $200 billion over the next two years. However, in the medium to long term, Sino-US trade frictions are still uncertain. The binding force of the first stage of the economic and trade agreement is not strong. China and the United States can withdraw from the agreement by unilaterally notifying each other within 60 days. And the 25 per cent tariff imposed on 250 billion US dollars of Chinese goods has not yet been lifted, which still has a negative impact on exports.

IX. Production continues to rise, mainly affected by the short-term rise in exports, automobile replenishment and policies favorable to high-tech manufacturing.

12Monthly industrial value added continued to rise, mainly due to rising exports, low car inventory replenishment and early policy stimulus.Industrial added value in December was 6.9% year-on-year, up 0.7 percentage points from the previous month. Industrial added value for 2019 was 5.7% year-on-year, down 0.5 percentage points from 2018. The production side rebounded with the PMI production segment and micro data: 1) the PMI production index in December was 53.2%, up 0.6% from the previous month; 2) excavator sales in December were 25.8% year-on-year, up 4.1% from the previous month.

From a sub-industry point of view, the year-on-year increase in industrial value added is mainly in automotive, computer, agricultural and non-staple food processing, metal products and pharmaceutical industries.Specifically:

1Affected by the rise in exports, the export delivery value is 0.4% year on year., up 3.8 from the previous monthIt led to an increase in industrial value-added.Among them, the industrial added value of the computer, electronic and communications equipment manufacturing industry was 11.6 percent higher than that of the same period last year, 4.7 percentage points faster than that of industries above scale, and 1.9 percentage points higher than that of last month.

2) car inventory is low, inventory is continuous 6The impact of monthly negative growth and a slight improvement in salesThe added value of the automobile industry in December was 10.4% year on year, up 2.7% from the previous month. In terms of output by vehicle type, the output of SUV and new energy vehicles increased significantly by 30.3% and-27% respectively, up 15.7% and 14% respectively over the previous month.

3Affected by favorable policies and profit repair, high-tech manufacturing production accelerated compared with the previous month, maintaining a high growth rate.The added value of high-tech manufacturing in December was 10% year-on-year, 3.1 percentage points faster than industries above scale and 1.1 percentage points higher than the previous month. In terms of product output, the output of integrated circuits, industrial robots, microcomputers, smartphones and mobile handsets was 30%, 15.3%, 13.2%, 0.3% and 3.5% respectively over the same period last year, up 11.8%, 11%, 6.7%, 1.6% and 0.8% respectively over the previous month.

4Affected by the approach of the Spring FestivalAgricultural and non-staple food processing in December was-0.3% year-on-year, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from the previous month.

5Some industries related to infrastructure and real estate have maintained high capacity interest rates and production due to low inventories, and production has slowed slightly recently due to the early Spring Festival, real estate starts and slowing construction.The added value of ferrous metal smelting, non-metallic mineral products, chemical raw materials and non-ferrous metal smelting industry in December was 10.7%, 8.4%, 7.7% and 5%, respectively, down 0, 0.2, 0.2 and 1.4 percentage points from the previous month, respectively. Glass and cement output were 7.1% and 6.9%, respectively, down 0.2 and 1.4 percentage points from the previous month.

Look at by regionIn December, the eastern, central, western and northeast regions increased by 6.9%, 6.7%, 7.8% and 9% respectively, representing changes of 0.7%,-0.7%, 1.9% and 1.4% respectively over the previous month.

Financial data rebounded briefly, but the credit structure for the whole year is still poor, and the problem of credit stratification is serious.

The caliber of social finance has been adjusted again, and the new social finance of the old caliber is basically in line with market expectations, but it has not been greatly improved under the new caliber.The central bank announced that it will adjust the statistical caliber of social finance from December 2019. "treasury bonds" and "local government general bonds" will be included in the statistics of the scale of social financing, and merged with the original "local government special bonds" into the index of "government bonds". Under the old caliber, the increase in social finance in December was about 1.7 trillion, which was basically in line with market expectations. The growth rate of stock social finance was 10.8%, up 0.1% from November. Under the new caliber, the scale of social financing increased by 2.1 trillion yuan in December, an increase of 171.9 billion yuan over the same period last year, which did not increase significantly; in 2019, social financing increased by 25.58 trillion yuan, an increase of 308 million yuan over the same period last year, and the growth rate of stock social financing was 10.7%, the same as in November.From the perspective of social finance structure, on-balance sheet loans are still the main force, in which medium-and long-term loans to enterprises and residents have rebounded, or reflect factors such as the previous counter-cyclical adjustment of monetary policy.New loans, entrusted loans, and loan write-off increased by 148.8 billion yuan, 89.5 billion yuan, and 49.6 billion yuan respectively over the same period last year, while trust loans, corporate bonds, and asset-backed securities increased by 60.4 billion yuan, 127 billion yuan, and 63.8 billion yuan respectively compared with the same period last year.From the perspective of the credit structure for the whole year, the increase in the proportion of short-term loans and bills is much higher than that of medium-and long-term corporate loans, and the structure still needs to be improved.Medium-and long-term loans to enterprises and residents picked up in December, and medium-and long-term loans to enterprises and residents increased by 200.2 billion yuan and 174.5 billion yuan, respectively. However, the credit structure for the whole year is poor. In 2019, the proportion of new short-term loans and bill financing increased by 5.2 percentage points compared with 2018, while medium-and long-term loans increased by only 0.4 percentage points.

M28.7% year-on-year increaseAn increase of 0.5 over the previous monthIt was mainly driven by a short-term improvement in loan demand and a decline in fiscal deposits.Judging from the composition of M2, corporate deposits increased by 1.6 trillion yuan in December, an increase of 179.3 billion yuan over the same period last year; household deposits increased by 1.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 370.5 billion yuan over the same period last year; fiscal deposits decreased by 1.1 trillion yuan, an increase of 41.4 billion yuan over the same period last year, and fiscal deposits were concentrated at the end of the quarter, which significantly boosted M2 in December; deposits in non-bank financial institutions decreased by 557.2 billion yuan, 224.9 billion yuan less than the same period last year.M1Year-on-year growth of 4.4%, up 0.9 from the previous monthA percentage point, reflecting a rebound in transactional demand from residents and enterprises at the end of the year.

Social finance is expected to stabilize in the short term in the first quarter, but2020The downward pressure on the economy is still great in the middle of each year, the credit stratification situation has not improved, the social integration in the whole year may show a trend of high in front and low in the back, and the financial situation is still grim.Counter-cyclical adjustment, early expansion of special bonds at the beginning of the year (as of January 16, January disclosed that the special bond issuance plan has reached 720 billion), active infrastructure investment is expected to support social finance, superimposed by the concentrated release of bank credit in the first quarter, social finance is expected to stabilize in the first quarter of 2020. However, for the whole year, the downward pressure on the real economy in 2020 is still large, the effective demand has not really improved, the problem of credit stratification of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises is prominent, the downward pressure on the economy increases in the middle of the year, and social integration may show a trend of high in the front and low in the back with the weakening of the real economy.


Pork prices continue to push up CPI,PPI year-on-year decline narrowed but still negative growth

2019年12Monthly CPI4.5% year-on-year, 0% month-on-monthThe main driving force is still food, especially porkIn terms of foodIn December, food, tobacco and alcohol prices rose 12.9% from a year earlier, affecting CPI to rise by about 3.82%. Among them, pork prices rose 97.0% over the same period last year, affecting CPI to rise by about 2.34%. With the resumption of pig production, the increase in imports and the increase in government reserves, the contradiction between supply and demand of pork has been alleviated, with a month-on-month increase of 3.8% from November to a decrease of 5.6%. Affected by cold air and widespread snowfall, the costs of production, storage and transportation of fresh vegetables and fruits have increased, and prices have increased by 10.6% and 0.6% respectively.Non-food aspectNon-food CPI is only 1.3% year-on-year, while core CPI is 1.4% year-on-year. Affected by the rise in crude oil prices, the NDRC raised oil prices. LPG prices rose 4.0% in December from the previous month, and gasoline and diesel prices both rose 1.4% from the previous month.

2019年12Monthly PPIYear-on-year-0.5%, a decrease of 11%Monthly narrowing by 0.9Percentage points, compared with 11 percent.Monthly-0.1%Rebounded to 0%This is mainly due to the rise in oil and gas prices, the lagging effect of previous fiscal and monetary policies, and the suspension of Sino-US trade frictions.The oil and natural gas mining industry rose 3.8 percent from the previous month, an increase of 3.7 percentage points over November; the gas production and supply industry rose 2.2 percent, an increase of 1.1 percentage points; and the oil, coal and other fuel processing industries rebounded from-1.0 percent to 0.7 percent. In addition, the issuance of special bonds has been accelerated in advance, there are more local reserve projects superimposed with warm winter weather, and capital construction is expected to be better, and the PMI of the infrastructure construction industry has risen sharply, driving the ferrous and non-ferrous metal smelting industry from decline to rise, while the non-metallic mineral processing industry is still relatively high.

Estimated 2020Year CPIAbout 3.5% compared with the same period last year, high in front and low in the back.In January, due to the dislocation of the Spring Festival and strong demand, it may exceed 5%; in the first half of the year, the pig cycle is still strong, and CPI will remain at a high level of more than 4%; in the second half of the year, due to the recovery of pork supply and the decline of tail warping factors, there is a large decline. Changes in the situation in the Middle East and fluctuations in crude oil prices are potential shocks.Expected2020Year PPIAbout 0.1% year-on-yearGradually rebounded from negative growth to 0Above.The tail-warping factor drags down, countercyclically adjusts the bottom of capital construction investment, the inventory level is low, and the active destocking efforts are weakened. But given weak domestic and foreign demand, PPI still has a risk of deflation falling into a negative range. The consumption, investment and export troika are weak, the total demand is insufficient, and the downward pressure on the economy is increasing. Monetary policy and fiscal policy should be hedged timely and effectively and counter-cyclical adjustment should be strengthened.

12. The suspension of Sino-US trade frictions, early policy efforts and inventory replenishment in some industries have contributed to the short-term recovery of PMI.

Manufacturing industryPMIThe index is50.2%For two months in a row50%The above is mainly supported by production and new export orders. Production endIn December, the PMI production index was 53.2%, up 0.6% from the previous month. Reasons: first, the Spring Festival in 2020 is early, enterprises produce and stock in advance; second, overseas demand has picked up recently, superimposed Christmas procurement factors led to new export orders continue to pick up.Demand sideNew orders fell slightly, of which new export orders continued to pick up, reflecting stronger external demand than domestic demand. The index of new export orders was 50.3%, up 1.5% from the previous month. First, the text of the first phase of the economic and trade agreement between China and the United States reached an agreement and reduced some tariffs to boost exports. Second, overseas orders rose due to the influence of the Christmas shopping season. Third, the early wave of global interest rate cuts has achieved certain results, and external demand has picked up. The import index rose but remained below the boom-bust line, with a short-term rise due to the implementation of commitments to increase agricultural procurement and the effect of policy incentives.

The rising price of crude oil drives up PMIPrice index, but the gap between the ex-factory price and the purchasing price index has widened, and the profit pressure of enterprises in the middle and lower reaches still exists.The factory price index in December was 49.2%, up 1.9 percentage points from the previous month; the purchase price index of major raw materials was 51.8%, up 2.8 percentage points from the previous month. The rebound in the price index was mainly driven by the sharp rise in crude oil prices. Brent crude oil prices were 6.1% month-on-month in December and South China industrial products averaged 3.4% month-on-month. As a result, PPI rebounded month-on-month in December, and the year-on-year decline continued to narrow compared with the previous month. At the same time, the difference between the ex-factory price and the raw material price index has widened, to-2.6 percentage points in December, an increase of 0.9 percentage points over the previous month, so the rebound in prices makes the benefits of upstream enterprises more obvious than those of the middle and lower reaches, and the profits of overall industrial enterprises are still under pressure.

The increase in procurement volume and the decline in raw material inventory are mainly due to the acceleration of production.Business operation is expected to decline, and policies still need to make efforts to stabilize growth.The purchasing volume index was 51.3%, up 0.3% from the previous month; the raw material inventory index was 47.2%, down 0.6% from the previous month, due to accelerated production, high-frequency data blast furnace operating rate and coal consumption for power generation increased year-on-year. The expected index of production and operation in December was 54.5%, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous month, and the policy still needs to be implemented.The inventory index of finished goods is downward, which is currently at the bottom of inventory, industry differentiation, demand is expected to improve some industries due to low inventory has replenishment power, the drag effect of inventory on the economy is weakened.The inventory index of finished goods in December was 45.6%, down 0.8 percentage points from the previous month.

PMIThe rebound is mainly contributed by medium-sized enterprises, and the expansion rate of large enterprises slows down, but small enterprisesPMIThe data fell across the board.The PMI of medium-sized enterprises was 51.4% in December, up 1.9% from the previous month, while the PMI of large and small enterprises was 50.6% and 47.2% respectively, down 0.3% and 2.2% respectively from the previous month. The PMI of this month is the same as that of last month, mainly contributed by medium-sized enterprises, and the production, new orders, and operating expectation index of small enterprises have dropped across the board, reflecting that a series of policies in the previous period have boosted medium-sized enterprises, but the problems faced by small enterprises, such as credit stratification, difficulty in financing and high financing, have not been fundamentally improved.

After the "Singles Day", the service industry has declined as scheduled, and seasonal factors have contributed to a decline in the construction industry, but it is mainly a drag on the real estate construction industry, and orders and business activities in the civil construction industry have increased, reflecting the downward trend of infrastructure in hedging real estate.The non-manufacturing business activity index was 53.5%, down 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, while the service industry business activity index was 53.0%, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous month. The cold weather and the approach of holidays have led to a decline in the prosperity of the construction industry. The construction industry business activity index and new order index were 56.7% and 52.9%, down 2.9 and 3.1 percentage points respectively from the previous month. In terms of industry categories, the business activity index and new order index of the housing construction industry were 54.6% and 46.3%, respectively, down from 9.5% and 8.3% of the previous month; and the business activity index and new order index of the civil engineering construction industry were 57.0% and 60.6%, respectively, up 0.7 and 5.3 percentage points from the previous month.
