重慶試點跨境貿易人民幣結算與86個國家地區發生實際收付

有意成為內陸國際金融結算中心的重慶，目前跨境業務開展得如何了？記者近日從中國人民銀行重慶營管部獲悉，重慶市跨境貿易人民幣結算從2010年7月啟動試點至今，已與86個國家和地區發生了實際收付業務；重慶還獲批成為了全國唯一跨境電子商務全業務試點城市；中西部地區唯一獲得跨境支付牌照的企業也在重慶。重慶營管部表示，今年他們還將借鑒上海自貿區改革經驗，大力發展跨境人民幣結算業務，助推重慶內陸開放高地的建設。

與86個國家和地區發生跨境人民幣實際收付

重慶作為新興直轄市和長江上游經濟中心，近年來大量跨國企業入駐重慶，本地企業也紛紛走出國門對外開展跨境貿易業務。2010年6月，國務院批準重慶作為第二批跨境貿易人民幣結算業務城市。同年7月14日，重慶市跨境貿易人民幣結算試點工作正式啟動。

跨境貿易人民幣結算業務開展已經橫跨五個年度了，中國人民銀行重慶營管部今日介紹，重慶已和香港、臺灣、馬來西亞、日本、瑞典、德國等86個國家和地區發生了跨境人民幣實際收付業務。

去年一年，重慶各銀行機構共辦理跨境人民幣結算金額700.15億元，同比增長10.91%。全市對外直接投資人民幣結算金額為10.71億元，而2012年這一數據僅為35萬元。去年我市外商直接投資人民幣結算金額80.96億元，同比也增長了72.52%。

人民銀行重慶營管部有關人士介紹，跨境人民幣結算可以規避匯率風險，可以降低匯兌成本，有助于渝企”走出去”加快海外擴張步伐。此外，金融服務的廣度及深度也將得到進一步提升，不僅可以增加商業銀行的結算收入和匯兌收入，還能增加由結算業務衍生出來的中間業務收入。

重慶營管部表示，今年重慶營管部還將借鑒上海自貿區改革經驗，大力發展跨境人民幣結算業務，助推重慶內陸開放高地的建設。

重慶成全國唯一跨境電子商務全業務試點城市

為了進一步將重慶打造成“內陸國際金融結算中心”，海關總署去年底又批準我市開展跨境電子商務全業務試點，同意我市試點方案中涉及的“一般進口”、“一般出口”、“保稅進口”和“保稅出口”等跨境電子商務全業務，我市因此成為全國唯一全業務試點城市。

重慶市經信委有關負責人解釋說，我市提出的“一般進口”、“保稅進口”、“一般出口”和“保稅出口”4種業務模式，可以支持現行各種跨境電子商務銷售模式和物流模式下的跨境商品出入境通關服務。“方案的獲批，將全面提高我市跨境貿易電子商務的管理和服務水平，在支持跨境電商正規化運營的同時，保障消費者合法權利，營造可持續發展的產業環境。”

據了解，該方案的獲批還有利于我市在全國率先打造跨境電子商務全產業鏈條；有利于建設“內陸國際金融結算中心”； 有利于形成西部最大的跨境電商進出口物流港；有利于帶動貨物貿易和服務(虛擬)貿易同步發展；有利于引進重大項目落地。

重慶還擁有中西部唯一跨境支付企業

中西部地區唯一獲得跨境支付牌照的企業也在重慶——重慶易極付科技有限公司(以下簡稱易極付)。國家外管局共頒發了17塊跨境支付”牌照”，其中上海8家，北京4家，深圳2家，杭州2家，整個中西部就重慶這1家。獲得牌照后的易極付很快與一家位于澳大利亞的公司發生了電子商務交易。

易極付相關人士曾介紹說，牌照的取得有利于支付機構跨境商戶的拓展及簡化支付結算流程，支付機構可以集中批量地為客戶辦理跨境結算，而且這一跨境互聯網交易的個人客戶結售匯不受年度總額限制。

中國銀行重慶分行相關負責人稱，在重慶進行電子商務跨境收付匯和結售匯試點，對重慶市積極進行前沿領域金融服務探索和對外開放高地建設具有重要意義。
