About the programme

Impact of China’s Economic Slowdown and Volatility (S160415S)

Course outline

China’s New Normal: market volatility, underlying economic drivers and impact on the future of China business

China’s recent market turmoil of late 2015 and early 2016 followed by mixed economic signals have contributed to the deepening questions on where the economy is heading. After two decades of massive boom, China’s economy has been perceived as a juggernaut on course to dominate the world. However, China's economy now is unmistakably slowing, and China’s own leadership has adopted the term, the “New Normal (新常態)” to describe the situation. Once a top investment destination, China now grapples with capital flight, and the recent market volatility has raised questions as to the true state of its economy.

Is China simply experiencing temporary growing pains or is the situation worse than it seems? If China’s economy is now slowing, how far and how deep will it go? What potential impact does this all bring for investors?

The speaker will cover the following topics in this seminar:

• Current macroeconomic trends in China

• Impacts of these trends on businesses operating in China

• Emerging risk areas generated in China's New Normal

• Overview of risk mitigation strategies and approaches
