A | "It’s pretty clear that no one on either side of the aisle think the name-switch to 'Inflation Reduction Act' has anything to do with the idea that the legislation is designed to reduce inflation," explained Michael R. Englund, principal director and chief economist for Action Economics.,"I think US politicians are increasingly resigned to the view that neither side is able to change public opinion, so the goal is simply to push through their agendas and raise funds for elections. The title change made Manchin’s vote a smidgeon easier, and maybe that tipped the scales.",The newly signed law levies a 15% minimum tax on large corporations and offers tax credits and discounts on everything from electric cars to solar energy. It also looks to cap out-of-pocket drug costs and reduce the federal deficit by $305 billion over roughly the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). However, despite its name, it does not offer an immediate curb on inflation which still stays at a 40-year high in the US.,When asked by Fox News reporter Hillary Vaughn whether the bill will immediately have an impact on galloping prices, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin responded, "Well, immediately it’s not. We've never [said] anything would happen immediately, like turn the switch on and off.",Americas‘Addicted to Spending Your Money’: US Republican Slams Democrats Over Inflation Reduction ActYesterday, 15:26 GMT,The bill was passed by the Senate on August 7 in a party-line vote using budget reconciliation, which allowed the Dems to ram the legislation through the upper chamber with a simple majority rather than needing to meet a 60-vote threshold. None of GOP lawmakers voted for the bill and remain highly skeptical about it.,"It does nothing to bring the economy out of stagnation and recession, but rather, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 gives us higher taxes, more spending, higher prices and an army of IRS agents,” said Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, as quoted by National Review.,The media outlet further cites an independent analysis performed by the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School which stated that despite its name, the bill’s impact on inflation is "expected to be statistically indistinguishable from zero.",Furthermore, GOP lawmakers have repeatedly warned that the Biden administration's spending spree may further facilitate already soaring inflation. Meanwhile, the latest $739 billion measure comes after the passage of the Democratic Party's $1.9 trillion spending bill in March 2021 and a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure spending bill in November 2021.,"Raising taxes and spending is doing the exact opposite of how to truly curb price inflation," said Tom Luongo, a financial and political commentator. "All they did was mandate a bunch of price controls (on drugs, for example) which will ultimately create shortages for things with inelastic demand, further exasperating existent cost-push inflation pressures. Price floors and price ceilings create shortages. The net effect will be higher prices. With the government now more openly subsidizing specific sectors of the economy, they will ensure an increase in demand while capping the supply.",GOP Lawmakers Blast Biden’s ‘Inflation Reduction Act’, Say It Will Make Inflation Worse7 August, 19:05 GMT,Dems Need the Law to Campaign in Midterm Elections,According to the observers, the bill's major purpose is to reinvigorate the Democratic Party's base ahead of the November midterm election and stop Joe Biden's approval rating slide. A Politico-Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday indicated that the US president's approval rating ticked up 3 percentage points after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. At the same time, the number of registered voters who disapproved of Biden's job performance dropped from 59% to 56%.,"[The law] will give the Democrats something to campaign on," said Luongo. "They can now point to this act and say, 'See! We care about your drug prices but pay no attention to the insane rise in price of food, rent, gas and taxes… or those 87,000 armed IRS agents now being trained to take your couch money'.",However, "the net impact of the bill is that it may modestly boost Democrat turnout in November, and it may modestly boost Democratic fundraising," projected Englund, adding that "this comes at the risk of some modest boost for Republican turnout and fundraising that negates the benefit.","I’m not sure that, overall, the legislation is impactful enough to ultimately change the likely November electoral outcome," the economist said.,Still, there is more to the Inflation Reduction Act than meets the eye, according to Luongo: the financial commentator believes that "in the long run, this bill is a poison pill.","[The law] is designed to ensure inflation returns with a vengeance while the GOP is in power so that they can campaign on that in 2024. Honestly, it’s just so tiresome," Luongo concluded.。 7月末社融存量、M2增速均高于名义GDP增速 货币政策保持支持性立场 央行有望推出更多增量政策 中国人民银行日前发布的《2026年7月金融统计数据报告》显示，7月末，社会融资规模存量、广义货币（M2）增速均明显高于上半年名义GDP增速，社会融资条件处在比较宽松的状态，货币政策延续支持性立场。业内专家普遍认为，货币政策有望在总量和结构性工具方面协同发力，推出更多增量政策，为经济稳中向好提供更有力支撑。
B | 具体来看，7月末，社会融资规模存量达到463.27万亿元，同比增长7.4%，其中企业债券余额36.47万亿元，同比增长9.2%，政府债券余额102.68万亿元，同比增长14.1%。M2余额355.51万亿元，同比增长7.7%。月末人民币贷款余额282.29万亿元，同比增长5.1%。 “在企业债券融资、政府债券融资等分项同比多增带动下，7月社融时隔4个月再度恢复同比多增，支撑月末社融存量同比增速与上月末持平，结束了此前连续4个月的下行过程。
C | 总体来看，当前M2、存量社融增速显著高于上半年名义GDP增速，表明当前社会融资条件处在较为宽松的状态，货币政策保持支持性立场。
D | ”东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青表示。 不过业内专家也提到，主要受企业融资需求减弱、居民部门持续降杠杆等因素影响，7月人民币贷款继续处于“降速提质”过程。 “目前贷款利率呈现下行趋势，说明在供求关系作用下，贷款投放已经比较充分。贷款增速下降，与企业等经营主体融资方式变化有一定关系，在存量社会融资规模中，债券融资增速明显较高。社会融资规模全面反映了实体经济从金融部门获得的融资支持，其增速稳定说明金融对实体经济的支持是足够的。”中国邮政储蓄银行研究员娄飞鹏说。 王青认为，总体上看，7月新增信贷总量依然偏弱，贷款“降速提质”正在成为新常态。从结构上看，当前银行体系正顺应经济转型趋势，优化信贷投向。数据显示，7月末普惠小微等金融“五篇大文章”贷款增速明显高于全部贷款增速，当月新发放贷款加权平均利率降至历史低位，当前信贷投放结构优化，服务实体经济质效提升。 面对国内外经济金融形势的新变化，业内人士认为，央行有望推出更多增量措施。
E | 央行日前发布的《2026年第二季度中国货币政策执行报告》（以下简称《报告》）提出，下阶段，将充分发挥各项存量政策效能，及时谋划出台务实管用的增量政策，加大逆周期调节力度，加力扩大内需、优化供给，推动经济持续向新向优向好发展。 同时，《报告》还要求发挥好货币政策工具总量和结构双重功能，落实好年初出台的一系列货币金融政策，不断完善工具设计和管理，扎实做好金融“五篇大文章”，加强对扩大内需、科技创新、中小微企业等重点领域的金融支持。 南开大学金融学教授田利辉认为，结合二季度货币政策执行报告的表态，预计央行政策重心将更多转向盘活存量、创新结构性工具以及配合财政发力。 “预计结构性货币政策工具将继续降价、增量、扩围，加大对科技融资、普惠金融的定向支持力度，推动新旧动能转换，提升金融服务实体经济质效。综合考虑经济运行态势及物价走势，预计三季度末前后以上增量政策有可能落地。值得注意的是，下半年政府债券发行会明显提速，8000亿元新型政策性金融工具将加快推进。这会带动政府债券融资恢复同比多增，并拉动配套贷款投放。由此，下半年社融有望恢复同比多增。”王青说。（记者 袁小康）。
