ABSTRACT

In this paper we examine the balance between savings and investment (the flow of funds) for the People’s Republic of China (China) at both a macroeconomic level and at disaggregated sectoral levels. Specifically, we look at the flow of funds at the national level and then at the sectoral level as divided into the government sector, the production sector and the individual (small entrepreneurs/households) sector.1

Finally, we subdivide the production sector into three component sectors: the state-owned enterprise sector (SOE), the collective sector (COE) and the corporate sector.
