The Nikkei 225 index closed up 1.21% at 39,849.14.The average annual salary of doctors is 690,000, and the fixed income accounts for 70%. On the afternoon of December 10th, National Health Commission held a press conference in Shenzhen around the promotion of Sanming's medical reform experience. Relevant officials in Guangdong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen introduced the local medical reform including centralized procurement, price adjustment and salary reform. In 2012, the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government fully invested in introducing the modern management mode of the University of Hong Kong and established the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong. From the details of space design and department name, we can feel that this hospital is different from ordinary mainland hospitals, and the difference in internal system may be even greater-the average annual salary of doctors in this hospital is 690,000 yuan, which is 4.8 times that of the local social wage, of which the fixed salary accounts for 70% and the performance appraisal is 30%. Generally speaking, performance income accounts for a large part of doctors' income. The reporter interviewed two doctors in tertiary hospitals in Beijing, and their performance pay accounted for about 60-70%, which was significantly higher than the fixed salary. In a set of internal data presented by Xu Xiaoping, secretary of the Party Committee of Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong, the salary structure of three well-known 3A hospitals in Beijing, Sichuan and Zhejiang is listed, showing that the proportion of fixed income ranges from 20% to 47%. (Beijing News)Reuters survey: Most economists expect Britain to basically avoid the impact of Trump tariffs. According to the Reuters survey, most economists expect that US President-elect Trump will impose tariffs of less than 10% or not at all on goods imported from Britain next year, which will have little impact on the British economy. This is in stark contrast to a similar poll last month. Last month's polls showed that people were generally worried that the EU would be hit harder. Britain officially withdrew from the EU in 2020. Part of the reason why economists are more optimistic about Britain is that although one-fifth of Britain's total trade is with the United States, the proposed tariffs will focus on goods, and only one-third of Britain's exports are goods.
