With the significant drop of the RMB against the US dollar, the equity market bubble and rising debt levels, doubts and anxiety are rising around China’s economic development and its implications globally. Join CKGSB Professor Li Wei at this Knowledge Series event to hear him discuss his Business Confidence Index (BCI) as he sheds light on China’s economic outlook.
As China, the world’s largest economy in terms of purchasing power, slides into its slowest annual expansion in 24 years, the country’s growth is closely watched by everyone in China and around the world. With the significant drop of the RMB against the US dollar, the equity market bubble and rising debt levels, doubts and anxiety are rising around China’s economic development and its implications globally. How do Chinese firms and business leaders view the country’s economic situation? Are they positive about the prospects ahead? Do multinational companies share their sentiment?
Drawing on CKGSB Professor Li Wei’s Business Confidence Index (BCI)—a unique index launched in 2011 that measures the business sentiment of Chinese executives about China’s macro-economic environment—and expertise from globally renowned economists, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) will host a China Economic Symposium at CKGSB’s New York Office at 5:00-7:30pm on Wednesday, 16 March 2016, to shed light on the prospects of and confidence level in China’s economic outlook.
