The Profitability of Trust

There is no indication that the ratio will decline anytime soon, which is particularly worrisome, given the low profitability and high borrowing costs that China s industrial enterprises face. Indeed, Chinese firms profitability amounted to just over 6 last year, with 2012 profits for China s 500 largest (mostly state owned) corporations barely exceeding 2 .

Fifth, weak profitability, owing to high debts and default risk, low economic and thus revenue growth, and persistent deflationary pressure on companies margins, will continue to constrain firms willingness to produce, hire workers, and invest.

For catch up countries, like China, rapid growth is often accompanied by brisk structural change that moves factors of production, especially labor, from low productivity activities to economic sectors with much higher productivity. This adds to the surplus by increasing firms profitability.

That such husbandry is an activity of low economic profitability is not, on the basis of the information available, a result of the encouragement of other economic activities by the State party in the area in question, but of other, external, economic factors.

According to market sources, total assets managed by the shadow banking system have risen exponentially since 2009, totaling 14 trillion, or one third of GDP, in the third quarter of 2012. With relatively slow growth, corporate profitability, upon which the returns of the shadow banking system s asset pools are based, is low and falling.

While this may enhance the overall profitability of a firm, it may also imply reduced tax revenue for the home economy.

UNOPS states that it will need to perform further analyses of its client base in order to determine profitability and future potential.

The fundamental problems that triggered alarm bells in the first place including real estate bubbles, local government debt, rapid growth in shadow banking activity, and rising corporate leverage ratios remain unresolved. Of these, the most immediate threat to China s economic and financial stability is the combination of high borrowing costs, low profitability for nonfinancial corporations, and very high corporate leverage ratios.

The financial system may be more stable than it was five years ago, but that is a low bar back then, it was teetering on the edge of a precipice.
