15 The trade war is not a trade war but the US trying to contain China s economic development The first USD 5 billion package aimed at containing China from exporting higher end products which compete with US The second focusing on moving value chain away from China (reshoring or delocalization in other geographies) 1% 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% % A comparison of the US-China targeted products released in June and July (%) Very High High Medium Low US June (5bn) US July (2bn) Source: Natixis, USITC, UN Comtrade 68 China (5bn) China (6bn) Decomposition of US' imports from China under the 2 billion tariff list Intermediate goods 48% Source: Natixis, USTIC Not Classified 1% Capital goods 29% Consumption goods 22% 15 15

29 Chinese leadership coming to the rescue of the private sector, considered key for China to continue to grow Three arrows to support private firms Loan Banks to increase loans to private owned enterprises (POEs): Up to 1/3 of new loans of large banks in 219, 2/3 of new loans of small banks in 219 and no less than 5% of new loans in the whole banking system after 3 years Lower interest rates on lending to small-and-micro enterprises (SMEs): Reportedly 1 bps lower than the benchmark lending rate to SMEs Targeted medium-term lending facility (TMLF): The PBoC introduced a new facility to encourage banks to increase lending to small and private enterprises.. Debt Equity Issuance of credit risk migration warrants (CRMW) to be supported: The PBoC to provide RMB 1 billion as initial funds to China Bond Insurance Corporation to help issue CRMW to help private companies separate their credit risk and their income stream. Extension of collateral pool to access PBoC's medium-term lending facility (MLF): Include bonds issued by lower graded POEs. Share pledging relief fund: The Securities Association of China announced a relief fund with RMB 21 billion contributed by 11 securities firms as seed money and a final target to attract RMB 1 billion in total. Such fund should help firms to avoid the problem of falling equity prices on their ability to use shares as collateral. Multiple local governments also set up share-pledge-risk relief funds in collaboration with private equity. More products: CBIRC will allow insurers to issue products targeted to ease share pledging risk. Source: Natixis 29
30 US-China trade is now expanding to currencies with expectation from US government that RMB will need to strengthen The current fast appreciation could be read as such or, at least, as China s trying to prevent actions from US but for how long? RMB normalizing against USD RMB real effective exchange rate 15 CFETS RMB Index USDCNY Source: Natixis, Bloomberg Source: Natixis, Bloomberg 3
31 In the scenario of a no-deal, could China retaliate by selling US treasuries and putting pressure on USD? Even if China is reducing its holdings of US Treasuries, total amount of US treasuries held by foreigners growing. Hard for China to have an impact US Treasury holdings ( % of total foreign holding) US Treasury held by non-residents (bn USD) ,3 6,28 6,26 6,24 6,22 6,2 6,18 6,16 6,14 6,12 6,3 6,28 6,26 6,24 6,22 6,2 6,18 6,16 6,14 6,12 Sources: Natixis, TIC N.B. China(Augmented) include major offshore financial cernters: Bermuda. British Virgin Island, Cayman Islands, Jersey, Luxembourg and Mauritius Sources: Natixis, TIC 31
32 Risk to the USD in the short but specially medium term In the short run, too lax FED pushing for a weak USD but two weak also a problem In the medium run, the weaponization of the USD could go against its reserve currency role 32
33 Weaponizing the USD?: US sanctions Applied extraterritorially to an increasing number of countries: o o o o o o North Korea Iran Russia Cuba Sudan Turkey during lira crisis Recently also against China s tech giants o o Huawei ZTE 33
34 Weaponizing the USD?: Responses to sanctions If crucial for the economy, simply reduce dollar transactions. o The share of Russia s USD reserves has fallen to 22% in Dec 218 from 46% a year before. Try other currencies: what about HKD like Russian seem to be considering? Use special vehicles: Europe s proposal to set up SPVs for business with Iran More structurally, create payments infrastructure which is not controlled/overseen by the US: China s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System 34
35 Weaponizing the USD?: The US world of currency manipulation U.S. definition of currency manipulation Countries in the Monitoring List of Treasury: According to Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 215, currency manipulation occurs when a country: (1) have material current account surpluses; and (2) have significant bilateral trade surpluses with the United States; and (3) engaged in persistent one-sided intervention in the foreign exchange market China Korea Germany Japan India Switzerland 35
36 In the long run can we expect a multipolar world in terms of currencies? The RMB will not be ready even in the medium term. Hard to dismantle capital controls 5 Share as international payment currency (%) USD EUR GBP JPY CNY 5 12 RMB Offshore Deposits (bn) Hong Kong Singapore Taiwan UK Share as international Source: payment Bloomberg, Natixis currency (%) GBP JPY CNY 1 Source: SWIFT, Bloomberg, Natixis Source: SWIFT, Bloomberg, Natixis Source: SWIFT, Bloomberg, Natixis
37 Conclusions The world is decelerating which is bad news for the shipping industry but the cost of funding should remain low. Asia is suffering headwinds, partially because of the trade war but the long run is much more appealing. This is not only due to size of the economy but also the fast growing middle class and the increasingly relevant corporate landscape The key risks remain China and the USD For China, the ongoing stimulus has to work. Otherwise a too rapid economic deceleration could destabilize the country As for the USD, there are short and long run risks On the short run, a too weak dollar could be a problem In the medium term the weaponization of the USD can boomerang Even if not substituted the dollar can suffer as parallel payment system are being built During the transition, the world will be more unstable if the reserve currency status is dented. 37
