The China Factor For Investment Considerations

By Georgia Lucas


Unless you've been in a cocoon, you most likely know that China will in all probability become the following business superpower internationally. The country's economy is on steroids, growing at close to double digits over the last one or two years and this isn't predicted to change.

And if you understand the huge size of the nations industrial engine, you would also understand that China is a place where you have to have some capital invested. Naturally, at the very same time, you must also understand completely the risk factors associated in investing in a country where the economy and corporate structure is precisely under the control over the communist-led govt.

The concept of an open economy in China is subject to question as there is the incessant threat of executive intervention at any time to match the political agenda. Yet the risk is probably assured given the gigantic growth opportunities which lie in the country for both multi-national corporations and speculators looking for some diversification outside of their borders. This region of the planet will become the next big boom in business growth so long as the Chinese govt is prepared.

A communication just published by the Development Research Middle of China's State Council guesses the country will report GDP growth of about 8% yearly from 2006 to 2010. Based on the numbers we've been seeing, this figure seems to be reasonable.

The report guesstimates that China's GDP primarily based on 2000 prices will hit USD$2.3 trillion by the end of the prevailing five-year period in 2010.

In the subsequent 10-year period from 2010 to 2020, the report figures out a reduction in the annual GDP rate of growth to round about 7%, which is still quite respectable.

For speculators, the approximate numbers are stunning but then China must be able to manage any inflationary and growth-related issues going forward as the country becomes richer.

The nations middle class of one or two hundred million robust is exploding as subjects move from the country to the cities in pursuit of occasions to increase their wealth.

As Chinese citizens earn more cash, they get even more consumption driven. This in turn pumps up the clamor for both domestic and foreign good and services. That?s why we are seeing such a mass flow of firms into China hunting for growth opportunities.

The bottomline is you need to be in China at some specific point. In future commentaries, I am going to examine some of the key Chinese stocks trading as American Repository Invoices (ADRs) in the U.S.
