日前，儲存央行發佈的金融統計數據報告顯示，今年10月，我國住戶存款減少8967億元。住戶存款在一個月之內“失血”近九千億元，再度引發“存款搬家”的熱議。對於年底存款任務向來就重的銀行來說壓力更大。●南方日報記者 黃倩蔚10月存款流失近9000億央行近日發佈的《2013年10月金融統計數據報告》中顯示，今年10月，財政性存款增加6284億元，但人民幣存款整體仍然減少了4027億元，相對應存款減少8967億元，非金融企業存款減少2068億元。對於存款流失的原因，有專家指出主要是季節性因素，9月存款沖高回落使得銀行十月存款波動劇烈。央行數據顯示，在2012年，3月份、6月份和9月份等三個季末月份，新增存款分別達到3.0萬億元、2.9萬億元和1.7萬億元。而1月份、4月份和7月份三個季初月份，則分別減少8000億元、4656億元和5006億元。存款搬家似乎並不是現在才出現的現象。每到季初，住戶存款都會出現一定“流失”。中信證券首席經濟學家褚建芳認為，銀行存款季末大幅沖高、季初大幅回落的現象已存在多年，盡管今年10月銀行住戶存款的減少額相對略高，但並未超出正常水平。然而，不可否認的是隨著利率市場化的深入，存款對高收益理財的增值訴求有增無減，單純放在銀行定期或活期存款賬戶上已經滿足不了不少企業和家庭理財的需要。近期，互聯網金融也愈發蓬勃，與貨幣基金聯手近5%的收益率和高流動性讓不少閑錢紛紛加入。面對這些多元化短期高收益理財渠道的分流，銀行留住存款顯得愈發困難。專家指出，隨著理財渠道的多元化，“存款搬家”將成為常態。上市銀行三季度末的存款數據顯示，招商、中信和民生三家銀行存款環比增速分別只有0.25%、0.71%和0.26%。加上今年央行信貸額度控制較嚴，貸款派生存款相對應減少，銀行年末存款大戰不容樂觀。外資行上調存款利率去年，央行將存款利率上浮幅度擴大至基準利率的1.1倍，此後先是各大城商行紛紛將各期限的存款利率一浮到頂，隨後股份制銀行也加入隊列，不少銀行已經先後將中短期和長期存款利率提高到基準上浮10%的水平。議價能力相對較強的國有銀行在一段時間曾保持步伐統一，實行“中端上浮、兩端基準”，即活期、通知存款及兩年以上的中長期存款基準利率維持基準，三個月、半年、一年定期存款利率上浮8%到9.6%。然而，面對日益緊張的存款，五大國有行固定利率統一的陣營開始出現破裂，交行和部分地區的工行、中行都紛紛將2年和3年利率上調。年底，一直“靜坐觀火”的外資行也加入到存款利率上浮隊列中。日前，南洋商業銀行已將人民幣大額定期存款利率進行上浮，其中2年期和3年期定期存款利率分別最高調整為4.125%和4.675%。而記者也看到匯豐銀行主頁打出了2年定存4.125%的廣告，上浮幅度均達到了10%。事實上，記者看到此前不少外資銀行3個月至1年的利率實行上浮不超10%的政策，如匯豐、渣打銀行，其1年期的定存利率為3.3％。但長期利率則比央行定的基準利率要低。從多家外資銀行官方公佈的數據來看，3年期定存利率幾乎都不超過4.25%，有的外資行甚至低至1.6%。年末外資行也開始將2年長期存款資金上調，不難窺見利率市場化的壓力。雖然南洋商業銀行的上浮只針對單筆存款數額不小于20萬元人民幣的客戶，並表示調整並非出于資金面的考慮，也並非長期調整，只是在12月31日之前推出的優惠活動，但毫無疑問提價的迷你倉因之一是沖著存款去的。互聯網理財吸金隨著互聯網金融創新產品不斷推出，利率市場化和金融脫媒正以前所未有的態勢迅速推進。貨幣基金的收益超出活期存款十幾倍，在實現T+0後更是擁有與活期存款無異的流動性，無疑也衝擊著銀行幾十萬億元的活期存款業務。天弘基金管理有限公司官方微博11月14日發佈博文稱，截至2013年11月14日15點，天弘增利寶貨幣基金（餘額寶）的規模突破1000億元，用戶數近3000萬戶。天弘增利寶成為國內基金史上首只規模突破千億關口的基金，在全球貨幣基金中排名51位。年化收益類4.8%—5%左右，流動性為T+0的餘額寶在短短半年時間內的吸金能力讓整個傳統基金銀行業目瞪口呆。銀行人士對媒體表示，目前電商與基金推出的此類產品體量還不大，但其對銀行活期存款的衝擊以及對銀行盈利模式的顛覆已初露端倪，銀行必須快速作出反應，借助銀行的公信力及專業性鞏固與客戶之間的聯繫。面對這些衝擊，事實上銀行似乎也在為了留住客戶而開始對存款進行“革命”。近日民生銀行攜手民生加銀、匯添富兩家基金公司，將依托民生銀行平台推出一款新型電子銀行卡，屆時可將活期儲蓄與貨幣收益掛�，預計年化收益在5%左右。有媒體引述來自民生銀行內部人士的消息稱，該卡為非實體儲蓄卡，用戶在該卡中的存款可享受超過5%的貨幣基金年化收益率，同時，該卡跨行轉入和轉出沒有任何費用，亦支持隨時取現。此舉被市場不少人士分析為銀行打響反擊互聯網金融的“第一槍”。商業銀行對存款的爭奪素來十分激烈，此舉或會引發業內紛紛效仿。“可以肯定是，民生銀行此舉必將對整個銀行圈產生巨大的衝擊波。”一位銀行人士對媒體表示。事實上，以“餘額寶”為代表的互聯網金融對銀行活期存款衝擊不小。商業銀行間爭取存款的壓力與日俱增。國泰君安研究人士指出，互聯網金融在傳統金融發展過程中狹處逢生，與傳統銀行在資產端錯位競爭、負債端少量分流、通道端分庭抗禮。東方證券銀行分析師金麟認為，民生此舉是銀行因應利率市場化和脫媒壓力的重大舉措，印證了前期關於“類餘額寶產品將推動形成存款利率市場化倒逼機制”的判斷，但時點大大早于預期。貨基瞄準工資截流存款除了互聯網的衝擊，餘額寶給予貨幣基金的�示，使得有基金公司開始繞開銀行通道，自己對接投資者。有消息稱，國投瑞銀基金已在公司內部試行以貨幣基金份額的形式發放員工部分工資。“在員工自願的基礎上，約定每月工資的一筆數額直接以貨幣基金份額發放。”國投瑞銀人士介紹稱。據介紹，在國投瑞銀，有八成員工選擇了以貨幣基金份額發放工資。此外，據報道，從11月1日開始，長城基金也和其控股股東華能集團合作推出“工資寶”，集團員工可以選擇以貨幣基金份額代替現金髮放。一位基金公司電商人士表示，採取貨幣基金份額發工資，基金公司可繞過銀行，直接從企業終端搬走銀行活期存款。10月份社融的回落顯示了監管層、包括銀行自身對資產負債表過度擴張的控制。從宏觀數據來看，4季度經濟仍然平穩。貨幣政策方面預計10月份的基調會延續。“我們預計後兩月信貸投放可能不會超過月均6000億元。”安信證券分析認為。毫無疑問，到年底，信貸政策會保持緊平衡，加上年底企業現金需求較大，存款緊張也會加劇。銀行存款利率市場化壓力顯著增大，存款成本向貨幣市場利率靠攏勢不可擋。中國當前的存款成本明顯低於貨幣基金的收益率，特別是活期存款將是利率市場化最重要的衝擊對象。圖片說明:繪圖：彭靂儲存倉

本報駐香港特約記者 葉 藍 內地放寬生育政策，self storage容許父或母是獨生子女的“單獨家庭”生兩胎，鄰近香港的廣東目前一年有超過100萬嬰兒出生，部分香港輿論因此擔憂供應緊張的奶粉會再添壓力。香港《明報》17日報道稱，落實“單獨二胎”政策後，對香港影響較大的地區是廣東和深圳。2012年廣東省的出生人數為122.37萬，而處於20至29歲生育旺盛期的婦女，在2011年已經有776萬人。香港大學教授葉兆輝稱，目前難以推斷新政策會增加多少內地嬰兒，因為有些“單獨夫婦”連一胎都不生，也不知他們的婚姻數字，但估計香港奶粉市場長遠會受到壓力。港九藥房總商會理事長劉愛國稱，懷孕需要時間，相信“單獨二胎”對本港奶粉需求的增長不會在短期內出現。港九藥房總商會副理事長林偉文稱，暫時很難估計放寬生育政策對本港奶粉供應影響，相信未必所有“單獨家庭”都會生兩個孩子。本身是兒科醫生的醫學會會長謝鴻興則認為，內地應想辦法解決進口奶粉價格迷你倉高，同時也要解決食品安全問題。他相信“單獨二胎”不會掀起內地產婦沖關來港產子，因為內地產婦主要是逃避在內地生二胎要罰錢才來港。不過香港近日再現搶購奶粉潮，食物及衛生局局長高永文表示會密切留意內地任何會影響本地奶粉供應的因素。他稱，在十一黃金周奶粉壓力測試前後發生的種種現象也會納入考慮，要確保本地奶粉供應充足，才決定是否撤銷限奶令。據悉，內地政策出台後，奶粉股備受投資者追捧。在美國上市的美贊臣，上周五股票升幅一度超過6%。但也有專家認為，放寬生育政策仍有不少細節未公佈，因此這類嬰兒概念股很有可能只是短期炒作。有分析認為，香港對於內地搶購奶粉的再度擔憂在一定程度上反映出焦慮感。據《明報》報道，人口政策督導委員會16日舉行首場公�咨詢會，會上有香港市民要求特區政府收回單程證審批權，聲稱不要“新香港人”。政務司長林鄭月娥坦言，對這些想法感到可悲，認為市民不應該排斥新來港人士，他們可有效補足香港勞動人口。▲mini storage

（沙巴 亞庇16日訊）仙本那旅遊業者今日呼吁當地旅遊業者，迷你倉尤其是仙本那岸外的大型度假村與保安單位及軍警合作，攜手確保仙本那的安全，避免仙本那旅遊業再受打擊。在仙本那經營Uncle Chang's Sipadan Mabul Dive Lodge的馮健軍（55歲）今日接受本報電訪時表示，事實上，保安部隊與軍警已在仙本那一帶加緊保安，當地的安全並沒有問題，但一些度假村尤其是大型的度假村，包括發生台灣遊客被擄殺的邦邦島度假村並不允許身穿制服的軍警人員駐守。怕嚇到遊客不允駐守“很多度假村從以前到現在都如此，不讓軍警人員駐守在度假村，理由是怕嚇到遊客，所以一旦有不幸事件發生，是否能完全怪罪保安單位和警方？”因此，他認為，仙本那當地旅遊業者必須與保安單位合作與配合，否則類似台灣遊客遭擄殺事件的發生，將深深打擊仙本儲存的旅遊業。“度假村不與保安單位合作，台灣遊客遭擄殺事件發生後，消息發佈到全世界，深受打擊是我國與仙本那的形象與旅遊業。”他也指出，自昨天凌晨發生台灣遊客在邦邦島遭擄殺事件及消息傳開後，已對當地旅遊業造成一定影響，例如其經營的潛水中心與住宿的10%遊客取消行程。擔心嚇走中國遊客他尤其擔心台灣遊客遭擄殺事件將影響中國遊客到沙巴來的人數，因中國遊客目前佔了來沙遊客的50%。投入仙本那旅遊業14年，並稱是當地旅遊業先驅的他表示，若在4年前，到訪沙巴的中國遊客10人當中可能只有1人，但自3年前開始，中國訪遊客持續增加，到如今每10名遊客當中有5人是中國遊客。因此，他希望仙本那旅遊業者與保安單位及軍警合作，確保擄殺遊客事件不再重演。【相關新聞請點大事件：仙本那遊客遭殺擄】【本篇內容已在2013-11-17更新。】;mini storage

Source: Odessa American, TexasNov.self storage 17--REXtac President Nick Fowler's plans for a more than $680 million expansion to his south Odessa petrochemical plant represent more than just an upgrade. He plans to move into a different business, eliminating the middle-man between him and the Permian Basin.The plant -- part of a complex that once included Flint Hills Resources -- makes amorphous polypropylene, a sticky polymer used to make adhesives. The primary ingredient is an odorless gas called propylene.And this is what Fowler intends to make now. It is an effort to combat expensive propylene prices and to take advantage of the growing supply of the natural gas liquids produced by oil wells in the Permian Basin.One analyst compared Fowler's plan to a hot dog maker facing higher bread prices. In this analogy, the hot dog maker not only enters the bread baking business -- he buys a windmill and enters the flour manufacturing business. Does his plan make sense?To understand why it does indeed make sense requires an understanding of what Fowler calls the "global tectonic shift" in American energy production. So often out here, new drilling efficiencies dominate that conversation: how the combined techniques of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling unlocked tremendous amounts of oil in shale rock long-thought inaccessible.Fowler's REXtac illustrates the impact of the energy boom downstream, on the petrochemical industry.Fowler plans to produce 300 kilotons of propylene a year in order to produce another 270 kilotons of polypropylene when the new operations come online in mid-2016. To do this, he plans to build a device called a fractionator that will allow him to extract propane from the natural gas liquids pumped out of the Permian Basin. From this, he plans to implement a high-temperature propane dehydrogenation technology that uses a catalyst to turn that propane into propylene. And from there: his polypropylene.There are only five propane dehydrogenation plants in the country working or announced, according to Maria Mejia, a natural gas liquids analyst with the Denver-based firm Bentek Energy. All of those plants are bigger than Fowler's -- with names behind them like Dow Chemical -- but they are driven by the same forces as his.In 2009, natural gas prices were rising and showed no signs of stopping. Flint Hills Resources closed the Odessa petrochemical complex as its natural gas feedstocks became less and less profitable.In fact, industry experts widely projected that major petrochemical companies would never build another petrochemical plant in America again.Fowler at the time ran Orion Pacific, which contracted with Flint Hills Resources and the Huntsman Corporation to process the amorphous polypropylene the plant made. Instead of closing, Fowler incorporated REXtac and bought the plant. The Flint Hills complex had been supplying the propylene feedstock, so Fowler spent some $15 million on conversions to the plant to allow it to accept feedstock by rail.Propylene prices were volatile, but another market reality supported the move. The amorphous polypropylene REXtac makes comes in units sometimes referred to colloquially as the "potatoes" they resemble. It's easily malleable, used to make diapers or automotive linings and feminine hygiene products, among other everyday items. The companies that bought the polypropylene to make them still needed it."That's such a huge division for them, they aren't going to stop just because glue got expensive," said Kirk Edwards, the president of Las Colinas Energy Partners in Odessa and a trained petrochemical engineer. Plus, the effect of propylene prices was industry-wide.Propylene is made primarily in two ways, and neither one is on purpose: It is a byproduct of gasoline refineries and a byproduct of using machines called "crackers" to process the heavy natural gas known as naptha in other petrochemical plants.Both operations are happening less, causing the price of propylene to go up and creating a challenge for REXtac.The reason is twofold. First, Americans use less gasoline than they did 10 years ago. And second, an oil renaissance is underway across the country.Even though oil and gas producers in the Barnett Shale of north Texas were experimenting with hydraulic fracturing -- pumping millions of gallons of chemically-treated water into rock and seeing great returns of natural gas -- this was doing little to change the big picture for the broader迷利倉petrochemical industry in 2009, because prices remained high.But when the techniques began to take hold in other areas such as the Marcellus Shale underneath Pennsylvania, natural gas prices plummeted, including ethane. That would have meant tremendous profit the former Flint Hills Resources plant, had it remained open, because ethane was its feedstock, several experts have said.It also meant that the petrochemical plants that were cracking naptha had a cheaper alternative in cracking ethane. That process makes almost no propylene."So, by God," Fowler said announcing his product this month. "I'm just gonna make it myself."The Permian Basin is rich in supply of natural gas liquids but oil and gas producers have struggled with poor takeaway capacity to bring it to market. Sometimes, they have been forced to burn it away in flares at a financial loss."Those molecules are here in the Permian but we have to ship them all the way to Houston to get the fractionated, or broken apart, and then they ship them back to us," Edward said, referring to REXtac by rail.At the same time, the production of natural gas liquids (NGLs) is growing. In 2008, the average NGL production was 338,000 barrels per day, according to Bentek. This year, the daily average was 362,000 barrels. And by 2018, the firm projects NGL production will grow by 13 percent to an average 420,000 barrels per day.Fowler's plans will provide a local outlet for 42,000 barrels per day of those natural gas liquids.The new variety of crystalline polypropylene Fowler plans to make comes in smaller, denser pellets. It is used to make harder plastics, such as bottle caps.REXtac has about 40 people who work the existing plant right now. They sit in a control room of old flashing dials, sensors and paper-and-needle readings. It evokes a NASA control room in the Apollo years. But it's all computer controlled now, and a few employees at a time sit at a terminal in the center of this room.The company's "Line 3" is a towering tangle of pipes that will be upgraded and brought online. That plant's control room sits empty but cleaned.A laydown field east of Line 3 will become the home of the PDH plant. The Houston-based energy investment bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt and Company is arranging the investment in the new plant.Every four hours nonstop, Fowler said, these new operations will fill one rail car with the polypropylene material. That works out to about 600 million pounds of polypropylene per year.He intends to hire 155 employees, working along the on-site operation of 40 people at the current plant.A curve-ball is the fractionator.The Gulf petrochemical plants don't have to build them, because there are so many in the Mount Belvue area near Houston, said Chuck Carr, a global director in petrochemicals with the research firm IHS in Houston. Some businesses, in fact, operate with the sole focus of running a fractionator and selling the various gas feedstocks they make to petrochemical plants.Mejia and others have questioned why Fowler would build one. There are two fractionators in Gaines County, and Fowler could build a pipeline to one of them and get the propane he needs. (He said that could be a possible route but isn't the current plan).Only about 28 percent of the return on the NGLs a fractionator produces is propane. That leaves 72 percent of ethane, butanes and heavier gases that Fowler doesn't need.But there is a solution, he said: REXtac will sell them."It's not common, but we have a market for them," Fowler said, declining to elaborate.Fowler expects the economics of this move to remain, driven by the supply of natural gas liquids in turn driven by the techniques behind the oil boom."When shifts are that huge, you have to ask yourself: 'Did this happen because the government did something? Or did this shift occur because someone raised the price of crude artificially? Or did this change because somebody invented something and you are not putting it back in the box?" Fowler said. "What happened to crude oil and natural gas liquids -- it's like the computer business. You're not going to make them expensive again. Once they accessed that source rock, you are not putting that back in the bottle."Contact Corey Paul on Twitter @OAcrime on Facebook at OA Corey Paul or call 432-333-7768.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Odessa American (Odessa, Texas) Visit the Odessa American (Odessa, Texas) at .oaoa.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
