中国3月份对外投资触底反弹

Chinese outbound investments rebounded somewhat in March following four consecutive months of subdued outflows, raising expectations that Beijing may take a more relaxed attitude to controls imposed last year on investment capital leaving the country.

中国3月份对外投资有所反弹，结束了连续4个月的低迷，这使得外界期望，北京方面可能会对去年实施的针对离境投资资本的管制采取更加放松的态度。

Grisons Peak, a London-based investment bank, found that investments by Chinese companies into overseas counterparts — a definition that includes everything from buying minority stakes to full acquisitions — rose to $17bn in March, up from $6bn in the previous month.

伦敦投资银行Grisons Peak发现，中国企业对海外同行的投资(从购买少数股权到完全收购)从2月的60亿美元升至3月的170亿美元。

The March total also exceeded a monthly average of $11bn in corporate investment outflows in the four months from November to the end of February, according to the Grisons Peak data. However, activity remained subdued compared with the $32bn in deals agreed in October last year, a month before Beijing announced a tightening of capital controls. Grisons

Peak的数据显示，3月份的对外投资也超过过去4个月(去年11月至今年2月底)企业对外投资的月平均额110亿美元。然而，与去年10月320亿美元的交易总额相比，对外投资活动依然处于低迷状态。北京方面去年11月宣布收紧资本管制。

“We think capital controls will loosen this year as both renminbi depreciation and capital flight pressure have been largely alleviated,” said Shen Jianguang, chief Asia economist at Mizuho Securities in Hong Kong.
