CF40 Research: Three Channels to Expand Domestic Demand. An article published by Guan Wei of China Financial Forty Forum (CF40) pointed out that the expansion of total demand, whether it is to expand consumption or investment demand, should be implemented on credit growth. When credit goes up, residents, enterprises and governments have more money in their pockets, so do expenditures and incomes, as well as profits and investments. At present, there are three main ways to expand credit: first, fiscal policy is exerted and the government borrows money; Second, the monetary policy will exert its strength and reduce the policy interest rate; The third is to stabilize the real estate market, and there can be no further sharp decline. In terms of finance, maintain the intensity of fiscal expenditure in a broad sense, and moderately increase the fiscal deficit to 4% in 2025. In terms of monetary policy, we should take reducing the real interest rate as an important goal, continue to implement "strong interest rate reduction", and timely reduce the interest rate of structural monetary policy tools below the policy interest rate level. In terms of the property market, it will ease the current cash flow pressure faced by real estate enterprises and promote the real estate to stop falling and stabilize from both ends of supply and demand.During the year, there were 461 new indices, and the index investment fever continued to climb.

Details of the "Teze Meeting" exposed Trump's friendliness. Zelensky said that he wanted security. Two sources said that during his first meeting with Trump after the US election, Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine needed security in any negotiations with Russia to end the conflict.

The three leaders talked for 35 minutes without a consultant, and did not discuss any specific details of the vision of peace, but four people familiar with the matter said that Trump reiterated his hope for an immediate ceasefire and a rapid end to the war through negotiations. One of the sources said that Trump was friendly, respectful and open, and seemed to be listening. A source said: "Some key points were mentioned during the meeting.
