China in Focus: Lessons and Challenges

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China with the support of the American Chamber of Commerce in China are delighted to invite you to an exclusive lunch with Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on next Tuesday 20th March at the China World Hotel, in Beijing. 
 
The 12th Five-Year Plan has set an ambitious agenda for transforming China’s growth pattern and ensuring its sustainability and resilience to external shocks. As China progresses towards its goal of becoming a wealthy society in a comprehensive manner, the experience of other countries, their failures and successes, become even more relevant for China.  

What practices and reforms have worked well? In particular, what lessons can be drawn from the successes and failures met by countries that have made the transition from middle income to high income countries?  

Join us on this informative discussion with OECD Secretary-General Mr. Angel Gurría and Mr. Richard Herd on 20th March, between 12:00 to 13:30 at the China World Hotel, Beijing.
