Chinese executives upbeat on growth
Print Edition
MORE executives of Chinese firms believe global economic growth will improve in 2018, according to a report released by PwC yesterday.
The survey by the multinational services firm found that 69 percent of executives in China expect faster global economic growth over the next 12 months, against 31 percent last year. This outstripped the optimism by global CEOs, with a record 57 percent of them believing the economy will improve, up from 29 percent last year.
“Looking at the global markets, our survey results found that in terms of ranking the US and China among attractive markets for growth, the attractiveness of China is stable,” said SiuFung Chan, Deals Strategy Leader of PwC China. “Executives on the mainland told us that the US and Hong Kong continue to be the top two growth markets. And what’s different this year is that Japan has replaced Germany as the other top growth market.”
The vast majority of Chinese respondents (81 percent) expect a world of regional trading blocs rather than a single global marketplace in the future, while 60 percent also expect to see greater fragmentation as opposed to political union.
Despite this, 70 percent of China CEOs believe there will be greater harmonization of global tax rules, compared to 41 percent for the global average. This may partly reflect the extensive tax reform process under way in China, the report said.
