China's economy experienced a very impressive V-shaped recovery from the pandemic from 2020 to 2021, outpacing all of its peers. But this year, growth is slowing sharply as supply chain disruptions, property market weakness and the authorities’ zero-Covid stance, weighs heavily on economic activity.
China’s financial markets have also been concerned by changing regulations at home, Federal Reserve rate hikes abroad, and the risks that Chinese firms may become affected by the war in Ukraine.
But has China really become ‘un-investable’ as some observers suggest?
In this investment roundtable, we are honoured to have Professor Justin Yifu Lin, one of China’s premier economists and a former chief economist of the World Bank, give his view on China’s current outlook and long-term opportunities in the world’s second largest economy.
