Core Viewpoint - The international financial market has experienced increased volatility this year, but China's foreign exchange market has shown resilience and stability, maintaining a basic balance in international payments [1][2]. Group 1: International Balance of Payments - In the first half of the year, China's current account surplus reached 21,126 billion yuan, while the capital and financial account recorded a deficit of 19,936 billion yuan, indicating a reasonable equilibrium [1]. - The current account surplus reflects net income from exports, which leads to capital outflows through investments, thus the capital and financial account deficit should not be simply interpreted as capital flight [1]. Group 2: Economic Fundamentals - The stability of the international balance of payments supports currency stability, enhances international competitiveness, and promotes economic development, which are key macroeconomic objectives [2]. - China's economic foundation remains strong, with a focus on expanding domestic demand as a long-term strategy, supported by proactive fiscal policies and moderately loose monetary policies [2]. Group 3: Foreign Exchange Market Dynamics - The maturity of the foreign exchange market and improved regulatory capabilities are crucial for mitigating external risks [3]. - The foreign exchange market has become more stable, with the marketization of the RMB exchange rate mechanism improving, leading to increased exchange rate flexibility [3]. - Future developments in foreign trade and foreign investment are expected to be positively influenced by a more convenient, open, secure, and intelligent foreign exchange management system [3].
