中國的家庭債務(wù)在去年達(dá)到了歷史最高水平，令人愈發(fā)擔(dān)憂償債負(fù)擔(dān)可能會抑制長期消費(fèi)支出，拖累全球第二大經(jīng)濟(jì)體的增長。

"This amounts to an increase of 30 percentage points in just 10 years -- no other country sawits private debt burden rising so fast," Allianz said, with the caveat that "China needed to catchup to some extent, as Chinese private households only obtained access to bank loans in 2003".
安聯(lián)公司表示：“這相當(dāng)于在短短10年里增加30個百分點(diǎn)--沒有其他國家的私人債務(wù)負(fù)擔(dān)增長如此之快。在一定程度上，中國需要追趕，因?yàn)橹袊乃饺思彝ブ皇窃?003年才獲得申請銀行貸款的渠道。”

But steep increases in house prices have led to an increase in mortgage debt, while the rapidrise of online consumer lending — which barely existed four years ago -- have combined tocause a sharp rise in household debt in the past two years. Regulators have recently crackeddown on risky online lending, causing the flow of loans to slow.
但房價飆漲已導(dǎo)致抵押貸款債務(wù)增加，再加上在線消費(fèi)貸款(四年前幾乎不存在)快速增長，已在過去兩年期間導(dǎo)致家庭債務(wù)急劇上升。監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)最近打擊了風(fēng)險較高的在線貸款，致使貸款流量減緩。
Chinese household consumption as a share of GDP remains low by international standards at 39.1 per cent. In the US and EU, the same ratio is 68.4 per cent and 55.6 per cent, respectively. But consumption has been the biggest driver of China's GDP growth for fourstraight years.

He added that, due to rising wealth inequality, the consumption patterns of different groupshave diverged.
他補(bǔ)充說，隨著財富不平等加劇，不同群體的消費(fèi)模式已出現(xiàn)分化。

沈建光寫道：“房價上漲對那些已擁有自己房屋的人產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。這體現(xiàn)為他們在奢侈品、高等教育、高端醫(yī)療和服務(wù)以及海外旅游方面的支出更多。”
