Economic & Market Outlook Series
2020 China Market Strategy Outlook: Going the Distance
Overview
Contrary to the prevailing pessimism at the end of 2018, the Year 2019 was a year of “Turning a Corner” for the stock market in China. The IMF estimated that the US-China trade tensions will cumulatively reduce the level of global GDP by 0.8% in 2020. Yet the economic drivers of China’s economy and the development in the Greater Bay Area may defy such slowdown. Against this background, the speaker will share his thoughts on China and Hong Kong’s economic forecast for 2020.
