Description
Language: English and Chinese (with simultaneous interpretation)
Through the first three-quarters of 2017, China’s economy comfortably surpassed its growth target of around 6.5%, maintaining a steady momentum. But China still faces challenges in improving the quality and efficacy of its economy. As the recent 19th Party Congress addressed, China is in a critical period for transforming its growth model, upgrading the economic structure and replacing old drivers of growth. Deepening supply-side structural reforms and promoting innovations are the keys to China’s future, which will, of course, impact the growth of both the Asia-Pacific region and the wider world.
Reforms play an essential role in explaining China’s rise since the 1980s. But what can we expect after the 19th Party Congress? What types of “reform dividend” can we anticipate from China’s next moves? And how can China best exploit the new growth drivers?
Coinciding with CKGSB’s 15th anniversary, CKGSB’s 4th China Economic Symposium, a now flagship event, will feature renowned CKGSB professors, economists and China experts to share their insights into the past and future of China’s economy and explain the implications to businesses, as well as to the development of Asia Pacific as a whole.
