如今,濟南區域金融中心的輪廓越來越明晰。
2009年5月,在山東省內城商行聯合成立“齊魯銀行”無疾而終后,具有代表意義的齊魯銀行最終花落濟南商行。外界認為,名稱的變化或意味著濟南在打造區域金融中心建設上邁出了更加實質的一步,大金融輪廓愈發明顯。
同樣,要建區域金融中心,外資銀行不能少。經過多方努力,匯豐濟南分行終于開門納客,成功地彌補了這一缺憾。2009年7月21日,匯豐銀行在內地開設的第20家城市分行——匯豐濟南分行正式開業,成為首家在山東省會城市濟南設立分支機構的外資銀行。
其實,早在2002年,中共山東省委、省政府就確定,將濟南打造成為區域性金融中心。當一個地區或一座城市的前面被冠以“金融中心”這4個字時,它在整個經濟體系中所處的位置,在人們心目中的影響力,自然也就非同一般。經過幾年推動和發展,濟南正一步一步向這個目標靠近。
經過幾年的推動和發展,濟南區域性金融中心的地位正在不斷彰顯。到2007年的時候,金融業已成為濟南的支柱產業。2008年,金融業對濟南稅收的貢獻排名第二。截至2009年6月末,濟南全市本外幣各項存款余額 6371.4 億元,增長 24.2% ;本外幣各項貸款余額 6293.3 億元,增長 29.8%;存貸款余額及新增量都穩居全省首位。
早在2006年初,濟南市就制定《金融業十一五發展規劃》,明確提出將濟南建設成為與區域中心城市相適應的、在全國占有重要地位的區域金融中心,基本特征可概括為“四化三力”,即達到金融機構多元化、金融業務市場化、融通資金多樣化、營運手段現代化,具有較強的聚合力、輻射力和綜合服務能力,初步形成服務山東,輻射華東、華北的金融管理中心、投融資中心、金融服務中心。
2007年7月初,濟南市首度召開服務業發展大會,把金融業列為優先發展的行列。并發布《關于進一步促進金融業發展的意見》,推出了一系列扶持銀行業發展的具體政策。
2008年4月2日,濟南市再度召開服務業發展工作會議,出臺了《濟南市2008—2010服務業發展實施綱要》。依據《綱要》,到2010年,全市金融業增加值將達到260億元,年均增長20%。
濟南成為區域金融中心的優勢頗多。以黃河中下游為軸線,滬寧以北、京津以南、西安以東的合圍區域內,濟南市相對于其他大中城市金融資源更為豐富。
與青島、鄭州、石家莊和合肥相比,存款余額平均高出700億元,貸款余額高出1100億元,企業獲取資金的便捷程度最高,外地貸款余額的比重已經超過30%。這背后的潛臺詞是,金融業的極大發展使得濟南對全省的經濟輻射能力和金融服務功能顯著增強。
由此,各金融機構山東區域總部大都落戶濟南,并作為其拓展區域業務的基地。目前,濟南初步建立起了以數量眾多的各類銀行、證券公司和保險公司為市場主體、行業協會為自律組織的功能齊全的金融組織體系。國家“一行三會”的區域性分支機構先后在濟南設立。在全國副省級城市中,除了南京和杭州以外,濟南是擁有全國性股份制商業銀行最多的城市。
金融業對GDP的直接貢獻度,是衡量金融產業化程度的重要指標之一。早在2007年,濟南金融業增加值已經上升到濟南GDP的6%。當一個行業的增加值占GDP的5%時,就是一個地區的支柱產業。顯然,金融業已成為濟南的支柱產業。
不僅如此,金融業對就業的拉動也非常明顯。目前濟南已經有4.5萬左右的金融從業人員;隨著更多金融機構的進入,金融從業人員總數仍然會大幅度上升。據了解,每家銀行在濟南設立區域總部,先期投入資金不少于1億元人民幣??纯淬y行和保險公司在濟南的辦公場所,就能感受到他們對濟南經濟的直接拉動力量。
隨著濟南輻射全省和周邊的影響開始加大,濟南的視野已經不再僅僅局限于周邊,而是全省和環渤海經濟圈。為盡快建設與之匹配的區域金融中心,濟南這兩年可謂“動作連連”。當然,濟南能否真正成為著名的區域金融中心,我們還拭目以待。

Today, the outline for building a regional financial center in Jinan has become increasingly clear.
As early as May, 2009, after the failure by Shandong commercial banks to jointly establish the Qilu Bank, the Qilu Bank was finally built up by Jinan Commercial Bank. It is believed that the name change may signify a step of significance for Jinan in building up a regional financial center, thus creating an increasingly clear outline for a large financial center.
At the same time, foreign investment banks are an essential ingredient for the establishment of any regional financial center. On July 21, 2009, the 20th inland city branches of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC)—HSBC Jinan Branch—was formally opened, enabling HSBC to become the first foreign invested bank to open a branch in Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province.
As early as 2002, Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Shandong People’s Government has decided to build Jinan into a regional financial center. And the position of Jinan as a regional financial center has been continuously strengthened through several years’ promotion and development. By 2007, the financial industry has become the pillar industry of Jinan. In 2008, it ranked second in its contribution to Jinan’s tax revenue. By the end of June, 2009, the remaining balance of deposits in domestic and foreign currency has reached 637.14 billion yuan, an increase of 24.2%, and the remaining balance of loans reached 629.33 billion yuan, rising by 29.8%, which ranked first in the whole province.
At the beginning of 2006, Jinan made the 11th Five Year Development Plan for the Financial Industry which explicitly pointed out that Jinan should be built into a regional financial center of nationwide importance corresponding to its position as a regional central city. The basic features can be summarized as “four ‘-tions’ and three powers”. The “four ‘-tions’” include diversification of financial institutions, marketization of financial transaction, diversification of funds circulation and modernization of the operating methods; and the “three powers” refer to the “strong cohesion power, radiation power and comprehensive service power. Thus a center for financial management, investment and fund-raising, and for financial services will be initially established by serving Shandong, radiating out into east China and north China.
At the beginning of July, 2007, Jinan held the first Conference on the Development of Service Industry during which the financial industry was listed as the first priority for development. And it also released the Opinion on further Promoting the Development of the Financial Industry and launched a series of detailed policies to support the development of the banking industry.
When the four characters “jin rong zhong xin” (financial center) are put before the name of a region or a city, the place will gain an extraordinarily influential power in people’s minds in terms of its status in the whole economic system. Jinan is coming close to this dream through several years’ drive and development.
