印度鼓励寺庙黄金存放银行 旨在减少黄金进口和改变贸易赤字

印度总理莫迪希望利用寺庙的庞大黄金储备,来改变印度长期贸易失衡的局面。印度寺庙的黄金储备估计达到3,000吨左右,相当于美国国家金库诺克斯堡(Fort Knox)黄金储备的逾三分之二。
莫迪政府计划在5月出台措施,鼓励寺庙将黄金存在银行,换取利息。
政府将把收到的黄金熔化,贷给珠宝商,以满足对黄金的旺盛需求,并降低对进口黄金的依赖。在截至2013年3月的年度中,印度贸易逆差约有28%源自黄金进口。政府和行业消息人士称,若寺庙决定配合政府的计划,印度每年的黄金进口量可望削减四分之一。
莫迪还希望说服印度民众把家里存着的黄金拿出来,印度家庭持有的珠宝和其他形式的黄金估计有1.7万吨。
但要说服印度民众打破传统、把代代相传的黄金拿出来,可能非常困难,印度民众对金融机构不太信任。莫迪计划的关键在于,究竟为黄金储蓄提供多高的利息。
印度在1999年就推出过类似的黄金货币化项目,但收效不大,一定程度上是由于寺庙方面认为黄金储蓄的利息太低。基于该项目,印度最大银行–印度国家银行(SBI)(SBI.NS)提供的利率仅0.75-1%,迄今仅吸纳到15吨黄金储蓄。
如果印度能减少黄金进口,将对金价形成打压,这有助于降低印度进口开支。但黄金货币化计划若成功,也可能对印度政府构成潜在风险,譬如万一金价扬升,黄金储户同时决定提取黄金。
