Most investors probably agree that it would be foolhardy to ignore China's strategic policy-driven investment, behind which sits a wealth of resources.  Yet surprising US election results and worries about mounting debt among domestic Chinese corporations and local governments have diverted focus away from one of the largest drivers of Chinese investment.  To kick off our analysis of China's "One Belt One Road" initiative, we outline briefly in qualitative terms why the "One Belt One Road" initiative meets many Chinese strategic policy criteria and is thus likely to remain a complementary external pillar to China's ongoing domestic policy agenda.In subsequent pieces, we will focus on financial flows into OBOR, and identify areas wherein investors might seek exposure to the benefits of rising OBOR investment.

The latest threat assessment from China watchers has, at least partially, focussed upon the Policy Banks.  China Development Bank, China Ex-Im Bank and China Agricultural Development Bank are the three policy banks.  Each has a different task in the Chinese system and each has been recapitalised and each is growing rapidly.  Our analysis finds that these are not the true new levers of domestic policy.  Investors should pay much more attention to specific Joint Stock Banks, County, and Urban commercial banks.  This is the area of real lending growth in China over the past few years.

Foreign exchange reserves of the People’s Bank of China fell for the fourth consecutive month in October.

Reserves now sit at $3.12 trillion USD, the lowest level since March 2011. Capital outflows, a rising USD and non-USD reserves valuation help explain the ongoing decline in Chinese foreign exchange reserves.Capital outflows remained substantial in September…

The Indian Government has taken a significant step in curbing the parallel economy by removing Rs500 and Rs1000 notes from circulation and plans to replace it with new notes. People having high-value notes will need to deposit it in a bank and exchange it for new notes until end December'16 ( and in the process, any large volume of cash deposits if undertaken will attract the tax authorities).

Demonetisation in India: High-Value Currency De-Notified; Con.Discretionary to Slow; Rate Cut Likely

It is frequently said that trying to trade politics is a fools errand, but it does impact the macro-economic direction.  Yesterday, China announced Finance Minister Lou Jiwei would be stepping down in favor of Xiao Jie who managed the tax administration department within the Ministry of Finance.We remain skeptical as to the state of the Chinese economy, not just when focused on public finances, but due to industrial policy.  For instance, debt for equity swap appears poorly conceived and failing to address the fundamental problems.  Coupled with state owned enterprise mergers that make inefficient firms even larger while remaining inefficient fail to inspire confidence.
