近日，打開電視，瀏覽各大網(wǎng)絡(luò)，出現(xiàn)頻率最高的詞大概就是“亞投行”（亞洲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投資銀行）了。作為位于亞洲的多邊開發(fā)機(jī)構(gòu)，由中國(guó)主導(dǎo)的亞投行不僅吸引了20多個(gè)亞洲國(guó)家加入，也對(duì)西方發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家展現(xiàn)出了巨大魅力。2015年3月12日，英國(guó)成為首個(gè)申請(qǐng)以創(chuàng)始成員國(guó)身份加入亞投行的主要西方國(guó)家，3月17日，法國(guó)、德國(guó)和意大利也發(fā)表聯(lián)合聲明，申請(qǐng)加入亞投行。截止4月15日，亞投行創(chuàng)始成員國(guó)達(dá)到57個(gè)。

亞投行的魅力究竟在哪？亞投行對(duì)重慶又意味著什么？重慶企業(yè)應(yīng)如何來分析亞投行帶來的機(jī)遇？近日，本刊記者帶著這些問題對(duì)我市專家、學(xué)者及駐渝領(lǐng)事官員進(jìn)行了采訪，我們來聽聽他們對(duì)亞投行有著怎樣的看法與見解吧。

知名經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家，重慶大學(xué)發(fā)展研究中心副主任、博士生導(dǎo)師蒲勇健教授，在2013年10月我國(guó)最高領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人提出籌建“亞投行”的倡議后，就開始了對(duì)于這一問題的關(guān)注。他認(rèn)為，未來“亞投行”正式成立并運(yùn)行后，將直接帶動(dòng)重慶國(guó)際金融中心建設(shè)，助推重慶“兩翼”產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展，并有望以“亞投行”區(qū)域性執(zhí)行機(jī)構(gòu)在重慶的落地來提升重慶的國(guó)際形象。

“亞投行”將加速重慶成為國(guó)際金融中心

蒲勇健認(rèn)為，“亞投行”作為一家投資銀行型金融機(jī)構(gòu)，未來“亞投行”對(duì)重慶的開放和外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)的影響，最早、最快將會(huì)在金融領(lǐng)域體現(xiàn)。他的依據(jù)是：按照國(guó)家對(duì)重慶在“一帶一路”戰(zhàn)略中賦予的“西部開發(fā)開放重要支撐”“內(nèi)陸開放型經(jīng)濟(jì)高地”和長(zhǎng)江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶西部中心樞紐等發(fā)展定位要求，結(jié)合正在實(shí)現(xiàn)品牌化的“渝新歐”中歐班列、長(zhǎng)江黃金水道航運(yùn)優(yōu)勢(shì)依舊等因素綜合考慮，未來重慶的轉(zhuǎn)口貿(mào)易將會(huì)非常發(fā)達(dá)，重慶將大量出現(xiàn)從事國(guó)際貿(mào)易、境內(nèi)外項(xiàng)目投資的企業(yè)。而無論是貿(mào)易還是投資都必然涉及金融結(jié)算，尤其是跨境金融業(yè)務(wù)，重慶也必將從一個(gè)區(qū)域性金融中心升級(jí)為國(guó)際金融中心。“亞投行”的機(jī)構(gòu)性質(zhì)決定其一定會(huì)積極地參與其中，從而助推重慶外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，促使重慶更早地邁向國(guó)際級(jí)金融中心的目標(biāo)。

“亞投行”鮮明的“基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施”特色將帶動(dòng)重慶“兩翼”發(fā)展

近年來，隨著重慶對(duì)外開放的不斷深入，擁有長(zhǎng)江三峽和三處世界遺產(chǎn)的重慶吸引了越來越多的境外游客，2014年重慶的入境游客就達(dá)到了263.76萬人次，在《福布斯》發(fā)布的2014年中國(guó)大陸旅游業(yè)最發(fā)達(dá)旅游城市中，重慶已位列全國(guó)第3位。集中了重慶絕大部分優(yōu)質(zhì)旅游資源的“渝東南”“渝東北”（重慶“兩翼”）地區(qū)已成為重慶旅游的主陣地，重慶市也已提出在“兩翼”地區(qū)要以做大旅游業(yè)來帶動(dòng)其它產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展。而交通、接待等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的不完善，正是目前制約重慶“兩翼”地區(qū)發(fā)展的最大因素。鑒于“亞投行”在業(yè)務(wù)方向上鮮明的“基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施”特色，蒲勇健教授建議重慶正可借此向“亞投行”申報(bào)重慶“渝東南”“渝東北”地區(qū)的交通、接待等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施項(xiàng)目，進(jìn)一步完善和加強(qiáng)重慶“兩翼”地區(qū)的旅游基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)，從而全面帶動(dòng)“兩翼”地區(qū)以旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)為龍頭的產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展。

蒲勇健還認(rèn)為，重慶應(yīng)謀求在渝設(shè)立“亞投行”區(qū)域性分支機(jī)構(gòu)，以提升重慶的國(guó)際地位。

Recently, the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is overwhelming among media from TV to Internet. As an institution for multilateral development, the China-led bank has drawn the attention from not only more than 20 Asian countries but also the Western developed world. On this March 12, Britain became the first major Western country to apply for joining the bank as one of the founding members. And on March 17, France, Germany and Italy jointly announced to be parts of the AIIB. As of April 15th, the number of this bank’s founding members will reach 57.

What makes the AIIB so popular? How does it mean to Chongqing? How do the enterprises of Chongqing recognize the opportunities that come with the AIIB? Our reporters interviewed some experts for such questions and now see their thoughts below.

Professor Pu Yongjian, a renowned economist, deputy director of the Development Research Center in Chongqing University and doctoral supervisor, has been long paying attention to this issue as early as in October of 2013 since when the Chinese top leader proposed the establishment of AIIB. He said that after the bank is put into operation, it will directly drive the construction of Chongqing as an international financial center and the industrial development of the Two Wings. There is also a chance for Chongqing to become the home to the AIIB’s regional executive body, which will improve the city’s international image.

AIIB wiII Speed up Chongqing’s Pace to become an InternationaI FinanciaI Center

As a financial banking institution for investment, Professor Pu added, the AIIB’s influence on Chongqing’s opening-up and export economy will be firstly seen in financial industry. He explained, in the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”, Chongqing is regarded by the Central Government as the “major support to West development and openingup”, “the inland highland of opening-up” and the Western hub for the Yangtze River Economic Belt. And given these settings, combined with the ever more popular Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway and advantage of Yangtze River’s golden watercourse, Chongqing in the future will be very prosperous in entrepot trade, and then a large number of international trade and out-/in-bound investment companies will emerge. And either for trade or for investment, especially for cross-border financial transactions, financial settlement is necessary, and Chongqing will be upgraded from a regional financial center into an international one. The role of the AIIB entails Chongqing’s participation, which will promote the development of Chongqing’s export economy and quicken its pace to be an international financial center.

With ExpIicit Features of “Infrastructure”, AIIB wiII FueI the DeveIopment of Chongqing’s Two Wings

In recent years, becoming increasingly open, Chongqing, as home to Three Gorges and three world heritages, attracts ever more foreign tourists, whose number reached 2.6376 million in 2014. And it ranked the third in the Forbes list of the most thriving tourist cities in Chinese mainland in 2014. The Two Wings of Chongqing, which refers to Southeast and Northeast Chongqing, has become the pillar of its tourism, and the municipal government also urges to ramp up the Two Wings’ tourism for driving the development of other industries. The incomplete infrastructure in these areas, such as transportation and accommodation, however, is the major hindrance to their development. Considering the feature of AIIB’s business as infrastructure investment, Professor Pu suggested that Chongqing could ride the wave to apply investment from the bank for the infrastructure construction in the Southwest and Northwest areas, which will further improve the touristic infrastructure in the Two Wings, so as to prompt their tourism-led industries.

Pu also regarded that Chongqing should seek to become the home to the AIIB’s regional branches, which will help to raise the international status of the municipality.
