外管局：近期中国跨境资金流出压力明显缓解
中新网3月16日电 据国家外汇管理局网站消息，国家外汇管理局新闻发言人今日就2016年2月份跨境资金流动情况答记者问时指出，近期，中国跨境资金流出压力明显缓解，今年以来，企业、个人等非银行部门结售汇逆差和涉外收付款逆差均呈下降态势。
　　日前，国家外汇管理局公布了2016年2月份银行结售汇和银行代客涉外收付款数据。国家外汇管理局新闻发言人就近期跨境资金流动情况回答了记者提问。
　　以下是答问实录：
　　问：近期我国跨境资金流动情况怎么样？请您介绍一下。
　　答：近期，我国跨境资金流出压力明显缓解。今年以来，企业、个人等非银行部门结售汇逆差和涉外收付款逆差均呈下降态势。2月份，非银行部门结售汇逆差350亿美元，较1月份下降50%，剔除春节长假因素，用交易日计算的日均逆差环比下降37%；非银行部门涉外收付款逆差305亿美元，日均逆差较1月份下降39%，其中涉外外汇收付款逆差105亿美元，日均逆差环比下降42%。
　　从具体表现看，当前我国市场主体的本外币资产负债结构调整更加平稳。一方面，“藏汇于民”稳步推进。2月份，外汇存款余额增加83亿美元，较1月份少增了113亿美元。另一方面，企业偿债节奏有所放缓。例如，2月份进口跨境融资余额下降25亿美元，较1月份降幅收窄了72亿美元。
　　内外部市场环境变化减缓了跨境资金流出压力。首先，国际金融市场在波动后逐步趋向稳定。美元指数自1月底下调后保持窄幅波动，反映市场避险情绪的波动率VIX指数也从2月中旬的高位回落；其次，国内人民币汇率保持基本稳定。2月份，人民币对一篮子货币汇率微幅波动，人民币对美元中间价、境内外交易价均有所升值，境内外价差也进一步收窄，市场主体购汇意愿有所减弱。此外，除强调外汇交易真实性合规性要求以抑制投机需求外，外汇管理政策没有作出调整，也稳定了市场情绪。
　　今后一段时期，我国跨境资金流动有望总体趋稳。从主要项目看，我国货物进出口顺差和实际利用外资还会保持较大规模，企业对外债务在经历了一年多的去杠杆化调整后将保持更加稳定的水平。从内外部环境看，近期市场对于美联储加息预期降低，如果美联储货币政策调整基本符合市场预期，将有助于国际金融市场和资本流动的稳定；2016年我国经济增长目标为6.5%-7%，在全球范围内仍属于较高水平，吸引外资流入的基本面没有变。
