China has tightened its capital controls, in a sharpreversal of its market liberalising rhetoric, as itstruggles to contain the fallout from last month’s devaluation of the renminbi.

中國(guó)已采取措施收緊資本管制，此舉標(biāo)志著官方的市場(chǎng)自由化言論發(fā)生急劇逆轉(zhuǎn)。目前中國(guó)正艱難圍堵上月人民幣貶值的余波。

The August 11 devaluation unleashed turmoil on global stock markets and policy confusionat home, forcing the central bank to spend as much as $200bn to support the renminbi. Theprospect of an interest rate rise in the US has further encouraged capital flight.

8月11日的貶值引發(fā)全球股市動(dòng)蕩，并在國(guó)內(nèi)造成政策困惑，迫使中國(guó)央行支出多達(dá)2000億美元支持人民幣。美國(guó)加息的前景進(jìn)一步鼓勵(lì)了資本外流。

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the unit of the central bank in charge ofmanaging China’s currency, has in recent days ordered financial institutions to step up checksand strengthen controls on all foreign exchange transactions, according to people familiar withthe matter and an official memo seen by the Financial Times.

根據(jù)幾名知情人士的說法和英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》看到的一份官方通知，隸屬中國(guó)央行、負(fù)責(zé)管理中國(guó)外匯的國(guó)家外匯管理局(SAFE)近日責(zé)令各金融機(jī)構(gòu)加強(qiáng)對(duì)所有外匯交易的檢查和管制。

Safe has ordered banks and financial institutions to pay particular attention to the practice ofover-invoicing exports, used to disguise large capital outflows. Safe confirmed the existenceof the memo, but declined to comment further.

國(guó)家外管局責(zé)令銀行和金融機(jī)構(gòu)要特別留意高報(bào)出口的做法，這種做法被用來掩蓋大筆資本外流。該局證實(shí)上述通知的存在，但拒絕進(jìn)一步置評(píng)。

China has long imposed limits on the amount of foreign exchange that can be bought or soldby individuals and companies but those controls have broken down somewhat in recent yearsas the renminbi has become more widely used around the world.

中國(guó)長(zhǎng)期對(duì)個(gè)人和企業(yè)可以購(gòu)買或出售的外匯金額實(shí)行限制，但隨著人民幣在世界各地得到更為廣泛的使用，這些管制近年在一定程度上失效。

Wang Tao, chief China economist at UBS, said the government had been expected to tightensome FX controls. But relying on them exclusively to protect the renminbi “will not be viableover the long term and hence is unlikely to be pursued by China’s central bank for long”, sheadded.

瑞銀(UBS)首席中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家汪濤表示，外界早就預(yù)期政府會(huì)收緊某些外匯管制。但她補(bǔ)充說，僅僅依賴這些管制來捍衛(wèi)人民幣“不是長(zhǎng)久之計(jì)，因而中國(guó)央行不會(huì)長(zhǎng)期實(shí)行這些管制”。

The policy reversal comes after China’s central bank drew heavily on its vast foreign exchangereserves to prevent the renminbi falling dramatically against the dollar in the wake of thetechnical devaluation last month. Although still the largest in the world, its reserves fell by thebiggest amount on record in August, dropping $94bn to around $3.56tn.

這項(xiàng)政策逆轉(zhuǎn)出臺(tái)之前，中國(guó)央行大舉動(dòng)用其龐大的外匯儲(chǔ)備，以防止上月技術(shù)性貶值后人民幣兌美元匯率大幅下滑。雖然中國(guó)的外匯儲(chǔ)備仍是全球最大的，但8月份出現(xiàn)有記錄以來最大數(shù)額的縮水，減少940億美元，至3.56萬億美元。

For the first time since it began internationalising its currency a few years ago, the central bankhas also been intervening heavily in the offshore renminbi market to narrow the gap betweenthe onshore (CNY) and offshore (CNH) exchange rates.

自幾年前開始推動(dòng)人民幣國(guó)際化以來，中國(guó)央行還首次大舉干預(yù)離岸人民幣市場(chǎng)，以縮小在岸人民幣(CNY)與離岸人民幣(CNH)匯率之間的差距。

Analysts and people familiar with the matter say Beijing has spent up to $200bn defending thecurrency but the net impact on the reserves is disguised by fluctuating valuations of reserveassets and other inflows into the reserves.

分析師和知情人士透露，北京方面已投入多達(dá)2000億美元捍衛(wèi)人民幣，但外匯儲(chǔ)備所受的凈影響被各種因素掩蓋，包括儲(chǔ)備資產(chǎn)的估值變動(dòng)和流入儲(chǔ)備的其他資金。

“They have gone from a credible peg that cost them almost nothing to a weak peg thatnobody believes and that is costing them more than $10bn a day to defend — they’re payinghuge sums for something they had for free just a few weeks ago,” said one person with closeties to China’s central bank.

“他們從一個(gè)幾乎不用花錢的可信的盯住匯率，淪為一個(gè)沒人相信的疲弱盯住匯率，每天要?jiǎng)佑贸�過100億美元捍衛(wèi)——他們正為幾周前還免費(fèi)擁有的東西付出高額代價(jià)，”與中國(guó)央行關(guān)系密切的一位人士表示。
