This year, we are very pleased to have Mr. Adam Dunnett, secretary general of European Union Chamber of Commerce in China to give the dialogue of China Economic Concerns: Overcapacities and Financial Sector Reform.
China’s investment-led development has resulted in a multitude of problems, including industrial overcapacity, high debt level, and environmental degradation, which have imposed greater challenges to the country's economic transition.
The report provides a detailed examination of the causes and consequences of serious overcapacity in eight important industries: crude steel, electrolytic aluminium, cement, refining, chemicals, flat glass, shipbuilding, and paper and paperboard. Based on our analysis, the European Chamber evaluates why, to date, the Chinese Government’s efforts to address overcapacity have failed and provides 30 recommendations—both direct and indirect measures—that should be taken to address this serious problem.
