低利率下的宏观分析框架与债券定价 20250926 摘要 中国房地产投资占 GDP 比重显著下降，从 14%降至 7%，住宅投资降 至 3.3%，低于发达国家水平，表明房地产不再是宏观经济的核心驱动 因素，需调整分析框架，转向消费等其他驱动因素。 房地产投资下降导致储蓄剩余，资金流向制造业投资和政府债券，理解 资金流向是宏观分析的关键，需关注储蓄和消费之间的动态变化，以及 工业和服务业的相对变化。 中国消费率相对较低，提升消费率是一个长期过程，面临收入分配和消 费者倾向较低的挑战，不能简单照搬美国消费驱动型模式，需具体情况 具体分析。 新兴市场高消费率往往与高通胀相关，并非健康的消费驱动型经济，温 和通胀环境更有利于维持稳定健康的消费者行为，中国应避免高通胀或 低通胀。 房地产融资下降，政府债券融资快速增长，实体企业融资保持较高水平， 社融结构变化降低了社融指标对宏观经济的指引作用，未来金融对实体 经济的作用可能更多依赖于利率。 Q&A 传统的宏观分析框架及其对债券定价逻辑的影响是什么？ 传统的宏观分析框架在很大程度上以房地产作为核心。过去，房地产在中国经 济中的占比非常高，对经济波动有着显著影响。例如，房地 ...

前言 在当前低利率环境下，中国居民储蓄正呈现向资本市场转移的明显趋势。 经济学家盛松成指出，这一"财富大迁移"将聚焦于新基建、消费基建及新型城镇化三大领域。 这些与国家战略高度契合的优质资产有望成为新的价值增长点。 从另一个角度看，中国资本市场尚处于成熟过程中，投资者教育、监管体系能否支撑如此大规模的资金 转移仍需观察。 对此，需要辩证分析。一方面，居民储蓄配置多元化确实是金融市场发展的必然趋势。 盛松成指出，与日本被动接受"广场协议"不同，中国坚持汇率稳定政策，且通过财政政策与货币政策协 同防止流动性过度泛滥。 另一方面，当前资金流向集中于国家战略导向的领域，如新基建、消费基建等，这些领域具有明确的政 策支持和现金流保障。 财富转移的逻辑与争议 当前中国居民储蓄向资本市场转移的趋势已引发广泛关注。 央行数据显示，2025年8月居民存款同比少增6000亿元，而非银存款同比多增5500亿元，这一变化被普 遍解读为"存款搬家"的信号。 然而，这种转移是否必然带来积极效果？或许有人会质疑：在资本市场波动加剧的背景下，普通投资者 是否具备足够的风险识别能力？ 历史上，日本在低利率环境下曾出现资金大规模涌入股市和房地产 ...
