Blind Faith

Advantages over market economies

An advantage of a planned economy, one which was among

the most important for socialist economists of the early 20th

century, is that it is theoretically not subject to major pitfalls

of market economies and marked-oriented mixed

economies. A planned economy, in theory, does not suffer

from business cycles; it does not experience alleged crises of

overproduction such as the one that was believed to have

contributed to the Great Depression. From the modern

perspective, planned economies theoretically do not result in

asset bubbles – massive misallocations of resources such as

the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s or the housing bubble

of mid-2000s. Source: Wikipedia

The Result – A Decline in NPLs?

The amount of bad debt held by mainland commercial

banks declined during the second quarter, the China Banking

Regulatory Commission said.

Problem, or “non-performing” loans dropped 2.4 per cent

to 422.9 billion yuan at the end of June while the non-

performing loan ratio slipped 10 basis points from March to

1 per cent in June.

EXPECTED CONSUMPTION AS SHARE OF GDP


The Implications

As consumption declined as a share of GDP, investment

increased. By definition, as China rebalances, this must

reverse.

Consumption has grown at a very rapid 7-8% annually over

the last decade. If it remains at this level, China can slowly

rebalance with GDP growth of 4-5%.

But history suggests that if GDP growth drops this sharply,

it will be incredibly difficult for income and consumption

growth to be maintained.


Food for

Thought

These Things Aren’t Banks

Food For Thought | 31

Chinese banks have very little breathing

room to absorb potential losses. A 12-

15% NPL ratio would erase all bank

equity.

Fitch reports bad loans could rise to 15-

30% of bank assets. NPL’s reached 40%

during China’s last financial crisis and

these loans are still lingering on China’s

balance sheet.

The recent surge in Chinese debt

exceeded credit expansions during the US

credit bubble, in Japan prior to its

property bubble and in South Korea

before the Asian Financial Crisis.

Copper Hangover

“China has for the first time revealed the estimated size of

its copper inventories, shedding light on one of the

commodity market’s biggest mysteries.

“Chinese copper inventories stood at 1.9m tonnes at the

end of 2010, more than the US consumes in a year,

according to estimates by the state-backed China Non-

Ferrous Metals Industry Association. The estimate is

significantly higher than the 1.0m-1.5m tonnes range that

foreign executives have assumed in the past.”

CHINA’S LIQUIDITY PUMP HAS JUST BEEN SWITCHED OFF


Bottom Line

Every single case in history where countries have undergone

decade(s) of investment-led “miracle” growth has ended far

worse than even the most pessimistic forecasts during the

boom period.

China is the most extreme version of this growth model to

date. Why should it somehow find itself immune from the

consequences that have afflicted every one of its

predecessors?
