记者日前从权威人士处获悉,目前粤港澳自贸区总体方案已经较为成熟,正处在最后完善阶段。总体方案日前已得到中央首肯,并征求了28个部委的意见。方案中考虑对港澳地区单独设立负面清单,并将在金融创新中主打跨境人民币业务。
“粤港澳自贸区已经准备了较长时间,方案总体较为成熟,但还处在内部研究阶段。粤港澳自贸区的最大特色,也是与上海自贸区的差异,便是广东、香港、澳门三地的深度合作,在珠三角地区形成整体竞争力,做大珠三角区域的经济蛋糕。”上述权威人士表示,至于推出时间,仍需中央进行统一部署。他认为,省里条件具备,方案成熟,国家会择机推出。
据了解,与上海自贸区全方位的开放和创新相比,粤港澳自贸区更多侧重于对外,着眼于广东与香港、澳门两地的经济联系。有业内人士指出,粤港澳自贸区虽然没有像上海自贸区全方位开放的定位,但开放程度以及创新措施,可能较后者力度更大。
在金融创新方面,由于粤港澳深度合作,香港作为国际金融中心,未来在金融方面合作的空间较大。“例如跨境双向贷款,现阶段人民币资金在港澳沉淀较多,应考虑怎样实现人民币资金有效回流,支持国内实体经济发展,这样一方面巩固香港人民币离岸中心地位,另外也支持广东转型升级,支持广东实体经济发展,是双赢。”上述人士指出,广东自贸区的金融创新,在金融服务方面有很大空间。现阶段方案涵盖整个金融领域,不光是传统信贷,也包括其他金融创新方式。
粤港澳自贸区金融创新将以人民币跨境使用和构造离岸及在岸人民币中心为重要内容。一方面,要发挥香港的国际化平台作用,推动广东丰富的金融资本“走出去”开展绿地投资、并购投资和证券投资等,拓宽人民币走出去渠道;另一方面,要共同创新人民币投资产品,引导离岸人民币资源服务广东经济发展,完善人民币回流机制。
而在负面清单方面,上述权威人士表示,在CEPA(“内地与香港、澳门关于建立更紧密经贸关系的安排”)框架下,将对港澳有单独的负面清单。为体现对港澳的深度开放,针对港澳的负面清单较上海自贸区针对国际方面负面清单会更短些。
