Despite the dire predictions that have accompanied the decline of global governance, less international cooperation does not necessarily mean disaster. In fact, national governments can prioritize domestic prosperity and social cohesion over multilateralism without harming the global economy.

上海—最近一段时间,中国央行披露的银行存款激增的数据受到广泛关注和解读。1月10日,中国人民银行公布的2022年金融统计数据报告显示,全年人民币存款增加26.26万亿元,其中住户存款增加17.84万亿元。值得注意的是,这一数字比2021年住户存款增加额9.9万亿元多出了8万亿。而且,仅11月和12月,居民存款就分别增加了2.95万亿和2.19万亿。
在很多外部观察家看来,这一被抑制的购买力数据如能在2023年释放,似乎对全球经济的复苏是个利好。但实际上,尽管中国在2023年有望看到消费的报复性恢复,但这并不改变中国家庭将长期维持较高的预防性储蓄的事实。
