7月9日中央電視臺(tái)新聞?lì)l道《新聞直播間》欄目曝光中國(guó)銀行多家分支行“優(yōu)匯通”業(yè)務(wù)疑違反外匯管理局規(guī)定,開(kāi)展無(wú)限額換匯業(yè)務(wù),充當(dāng)“地下錢(qián)莊”,造假“洗黑錢(qián)”。消息一出,引爆業(yè)內(nèi)強(qiáng)烈關(guān)注。
請(qǐng)看《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》的報(bào)道:
The reports "contain discrepancies with and misunderstanding of the facts ... References to an 'underground bank' and 'money laundering' are inconsistent with the facts," the bank said in a statement on its website on Wednesday.
銀行周三在網(wǎng)站的聲明中說(shuō),(央視的)該報(bào)道“與事實(shí)有出入、理解上有偏差,報(bào)道中提及的‘地下錢(qián)莊’和‘洗黑錢(qián)’情況與事實(shí)不符?!?/p>
央視報(bào)道指出,中國(guó)銀行help clients convert unlimited amounts of yuan into other currencies and transfer those funds abroad(幫助客戶無(wú)限額換匯并將資金轉(zhuǎn)移到國(guó)外賬戶),這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)違反了國(guó)家相關(guān)外匯管理的規(guī)定。當(dāng)前外匯管制下,央行對(duì)于個(gè)人換匯的上限是每年5萬(wàn)美元。
對(duì)此,中行9日晚通過(guò)其官網(wǎng)微博發(fā)布公告,對(duì)相關(guān)報(bào)道予以否認(rèn),稱(chēng)中行不存在money laundering(洗黑錢(qián))行為。
經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家指出,長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)不少商業(yè)銀行都在為investment immigrants(投資移民)做同樣的業(yè)務(wù),這種行為其實(shí)與underground banks(地下錢(qián)莊)無(wú)異。
