全国各省份的财力表现如何？ 目前，31个省份的2025年财政账本陆续发布，27个省份较去年的财政收入实现增长。截至2月9日，尚有湖北、新疆尚未公布完整数值。 从总量看，财政收入依然高度向头部集中。广东以1.39万亿元的财政收入连续35年领跑全国，与第二名拉开超过3000亿元的差距。 但从结构和增速看，榜单出现分化：GDP排名与财政收入排名出现不少错位，服务业和总部经济密集的地区展现出更强的税收转化能力。 西部和东北的部分省份在增速上表现亮眼，西藏、吉林、新疆等省份在2025年实现财政收入两位数增长，成为榜单中的变量。 △31省份2025年部分经济数据 图源：企业预警通 广东连续35年全国第一 2025年，地方一般公共预算收入同比增长2.4%，不及GDP增速，但增幅较2024年回升0.7个百分点。分地区看，中部地区财政收入增速相对落后于其他地区。 粤开证券首席经济学家、研究院院长罗志恒分析称，2025年，在国内有效需求不足、房地产市场持续调整、物价低迷等多重挑战下，地方财政收入同比增速低于经济增速。但从年内增速节奏看，随着更加积极的财政政策持续发力，经济基本面总体平稳，反内卷背景下工业企业利润增速由负转正，有利于税收收入增长。 从31个省份的最新数据来看，GDP排名与财政收入排名高度相关，但并不完全重合。在这背后，人口、产业、财政体制以及经济发展阶段的差异都起到了作用。 在GDP和财政收入榜上，广东和江苏稳居前两位。其中，广东2025年一般公共预算收入1.39万亿元，同比增长3%，连续35年居全国首位；江苏2025年一般公共预算收入约1.02万亿元，增速2.1%，稳居第二。 广东和江苏财政收入之间的差距超过3000亿元，接近暂时排名16的内蒙古一年的财政收入，短期之内并无赶超的可能。 这主要在于两省产业结构的区别。广东的服务业占比更高，金融与互联网集中的特征，使得税基密集、税源质量高，而江苏强在制造业，但不少企业规模较小，单体贡献有限。从上市公司数量看，截至2025年10月，广东以884家的数量远超江苏的713家，总参考市值大约是江苏的两倍。 外贸领域同样如此，广东进出口规模长期居首，带动关税及环节税大规模流入。2025年广东进出口总值以近9.5万亿元遥遥领先，江苏虽位居第二，但总值不到6万亿元，与广东仍有较大差距。 而从第三名开始，GDP榜与财政榜开始出现明显错位。...

Vitol Group, the world’s largest independent oil trader, said oil demand will take longer to peak than it previously estimated because of slow take-up of electric vehicles. Oil demand is now expected to reach a high at some point in the mid-2030s, Vitol said in a report on Monday. Its prior forecast was for that to happen at some point early next decade. In 2040, demand will be about 5 million barrels a day higher than current levels, it said.

China’s venture capital and private equity firms have been urged to use buyback clauses in a “reasonable” manner. Photo: AI generated For years, venture capital and private equity (VC/PE) investors in China have relied on share buyback clauses as downside protection if portfolio companies fail to list on time. As IPO exits become harder to execute and buyback disputes mount , however, those clauses are proving far less reliable than many investors once assumed. Buyback arrangements, often embedded in valuation adjustment mechanisms, allow investors to require founders or companies to repurchase shares at a pre-agreed return if certain targets — most commonly an IPO deadline — are missed. When markets are buoyant, such clauses are rarely tested. But amid a weaker economy and a more constrained IPO environment , they are being triggered far more often.

日本首相高市早苗领导的执政党在国会选举中斩获三分之二绝对多数席位后，东京日经 225 股票指数于周一大幅冲高 5%，创下历史新高。 此次压倒性胜利让高市早苗拥有了更坚实的执政基础，得以推行利好市场的政策，不过这一结果对日本外汇和债券市场的影响或许难言积极。 “总体而言，自民党从一个束手无策的弱势政府，转变为如今在众议院拥有绝对多数席位的强势政府，他们真正掌握了决策权。” 阿斯垂斯咨询日本公司董事总经理兼战略主管尼尔・纽曼表示。 日本放送协会援引计票结果称，截至周一早间，高市早苗领导的自民党单独拿下 316 个众议院席位，远超众议院 465 个席位中 261 个的绝对多数门槛。众议院是日本两院制国会中权力更大的一院，这一席位数字创下自民党 1955 年成立以来的历史纪录，也超过了已故首相中曾根康弘在 1986 年创下的 300 个席位的此前纪录。 众议院将于 2 月中旬复会，高市早苗的首要核心任务是推进因选举推迟的预算法案审议。该法案将为应对物价上涨和薪资增长疲软的经济举措提供资金支持。 “日本此次的选举结果，是市场本能乐见的类型 —— 因为它消除了交易者最愿意为之支付风险溢价的因素：政治不确定性。”SPI 资产管理公司的斯蒂芬・英尼斯在评论中表示。 他还称：“从政治层面看，这场胜利让高市早苗首相拥有了施政的自由度，无需再为每一项决策与各方讨价还价、寻求最低限度的共识。” 截至日本午后时段，日经 225 指数涨幅收窄至 4.6%，报 56729.51 点，盘中首次突破 57000 点关口，刷新历史纪录。 美元对日元汇率小幅走弱，报 1 美元兑 156.62 日元，低于上周五尾盘的 157.10 日元。 韩国首尔市场方面，受科技股买盘强劲提振，韩国综合股价指数（^KS11）上涨 4.2%，报 5301.36 点。 香港恒生指数（^HSI）上涨 1.7%，报 27007.81 点；上证综合指数上涨 1.3%，报 4117.57 点；台湾加权指数上涨 2%。 澳大利亚市场中，S&P/ASX 200 指数大幅上涨 1.9%，报 8870.10 点。 美股期货在周一早盘小幅走高，标普 500 指数和 道琼斯 工业平均指数期货均上涨 0.1%。 上周五，芯片企业领涨推动美股普涨，英伟达股价上涨 7.8%，将本周跌幅收窄至略超 10%；博通股价上涨 7.1%，抹平了本周的跌幅。 尽...

President criticises Puerto Rican musician’s half-time show as a ‘slap in the face’ in lengthy tirade on social media Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of US politics. Donald Trump has said Bad Bunny’s historic Super Bowl half-time show performance celebrating Latino heritage and culture was “absolutely terrible” and “an affront to the Greatness of America”. The Puerto Rican musician was reported to have made history by becoming the first Super Bowl half-time show headliner to perform (nearly) entirely in Spanish, and to host a wedding during the show, which included appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin , among others. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. Continue reading...

We've talked to him multiple times in the past about the necessary preconditions for economies to grow and thrive. But in addition to his academic work, Hausmann was previously a policymaker in Venezuela, including a stint at the country's central bank prior to the election of Hugo Chavez. In this conversation, we talk about how Venezuela went from being the largest oil exporter in the world (even larger than Saudi Arabia for a time) to becoming the ultimate economic basket case. We also talk about the huge challenge the country will face in reinvigorating its economy, and why he believes that will be impossible as long as the remnants of the Maduro government remain in charge.

Both the leads are good value in Dan Kay’s movie in which Jessie and Spider hide conceal a corpse to avoid being separated in the care system A fatally overdosed mother called Jacey is unceremoniously bundled into a trunk at the start of this southern US-set drama; the uncredited actor who plays her should probably have a word with her agent, as the role is surely in contention for a world record as the least likely to boost your career. Jacey is just one of the drug casualties littering director Dan Kay’s underpowered film about the US’s super-strength opioid crisis, as her two bereaved daughters desperately tread water in the aftermath. While 11-year-old Jessie (Jojo Regina) steps up with loving words in the face of tragedy, 15-year-old Spider (Mckenna Grace) has a practised indifference. All too accustomed to dealing with her mother’s addiction, her attention is on what happens now – notifying the authorities of the death would mean the sisters would be separated by the care system. So she steps up to run the household and fend off Jacey’s junkie boyfriend Reece (Dacre Montgomery), while she tries to find a solution. Continue reading...

Europe has come to the painful realisation that it needs to be more assertive and more militarily independent from an authoritarian US administration that no longer shares a commitment to liberal democratic norms and values, a report prepared by the Munich Security Conference asserts. The report sets the scene for an all-out ideological confrontation with the Trump White House at the high-level annual meeting of security policy specialists, which starts on Friday. In a now infamous speech to last year’s MSC, the US vice-president, JD Vance, claimed European elites were suppressing free speech and “opening the floodgates” to mass migration. The address marked the moment Europe realised the Trump administration would no longer be a reliable trading and security partner. Since then European leaders and Donald Trump’s team have waged a series of running battles over topics including the US push to force Ukraine to make territorial concessions to Russia, Trump’s threats to seize Greenland, and a series of protectionist US measures ranging from tariff barriers to inward investment bans. View image in fullscreen People take part in a protest in Nuuk against Donald Trump’s threats to seize Greenland. Photograph: Sean Gallup/Getty Images The divide was starkly set out in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month by the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, who warned of a rupture between the US and its western allies. Vance’s assessment of Europe’s decline was reinforced in the latest US national security strategy, which accused European leaders of overseeing “civilisational erasure”. More recently, Trump disparaged the courage with which European members of Nato fought in Afghanistan, remarks that caused deep offence among Europe’s military leaders. Vance is not expected in Munich this year, but the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and a congressional delegation are scheduled to attend. Polling commissioned for the report shows Europeans are increasingly w...
