Investment Concerns

There are many uncertainties for the first year of the 21st century’s third decade such as the coronavirus outbreak, trade conflicts and a trend toward anti-globalization. As the engine of the world economy for many years, China’s GDP growth is expected to drop to 6 percent in 2020. Geopolitics, trade protectionism, the Iran issue and the US elections will have a big impact on the global economy. Experts argue that even though China is seriously affected by the Sino-US trade conflict, only 2 percent of sales of Chinese listed companies was generated by North American markets, and 88 percent was generated by the domestic market. In 2020, infrastructure and domestic consumption are expected to be the main force to bolster investment in China.
