July 27, Beijing time. So James will first highlight some of the key messages and then we will take your questions. Thank you, Ting, and thank you all for your interest. Let me just make a few introductory remarks.
The Chinese economy is performing well and reforms are making good progress. In particular financial sector derisking has advanced further. Credit growth has slowed.
Overcapacity reduction has progressed, anti-pollution efforts have intensified and opening up has continued. We welcome the governments increased focus on switching from high speed to high quality growth, in particular shifting from excessive debt finance investment to consumption will sustain growth together with raising living standards, a cleaner environment and much reduced financial sector risk.
Achieving this goal of high quality growth would be greatly helped by accelerating reforms in many areas. First, deemphasizing the growth target. Rebalancing the Chinese economy will likely mean somewhat overall slower growth.

This should not be resisted. For example with a credit fueled investment stimulus. Second, slowing credit growth. The credit growth has slowed in but it remains too fast. Slowing it further will require less public investment, tighter constraints on state-owned enterprises and curbing the rapid growth in household debt.
China's government should increase its social spending for example in health, education and social transfers and should finance it with progressive and green revenue sources like taxes on income, property and carbon emissions. Fourth, relying more on market forces. This means reducing the dominance of the public sector in many industries, opening up more markets to the private sector and assuring fair competition.
Fifth, accelerate opening up to the rest of the world. China's integration with the global economy over the last 40 years has lifted China from one of the poorest countries in the world to now an upper middle-income country and the world's second largest economy.
Yet, China's trade and investment regime remains relatively restrictive. Faster opening up would not only support China's own high-quality growth agenda but also benefit the global economy. Sixth and last, mobilizing policy frameworks. Financial sector reforms have made strong progress recently.
These should be continued. Monetary policy should continue to become more price rather than quantity based and the exchange rate should continue to become more flexible. The central government should share more of local government spending responsibilities, while increasing their ability to raise their own revenues.
Policy making would also be improved by strengthening China's relatively weak macroeconomic data. The Belt and Road Initiative is welcome and potentially transformative. Its success will be enhanced by having an overarching framework more focused on debt sustainability in participating countries and greater transparency.
