European Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to the event discussing Household Income and Wealth in China during an Era of Rebalancing on 29th April 2014 in which William Hess and Gao Song, Co-CEOs and Heads of Research at PRC Macro Advisors will share their knowledge and experience on this topic.
We see big changes ahead for the economy in China. This process of economic rebalancing will be a multidimensional process:
· The distribution of income will improve
· Households are going to rebalance their portfolios
· The distribution of demand within China will shift, and increasingly will spill over into global markets.
In this seminar we will look at the current situation of income and wealth distribution, and review how China got where it is today. With this starting point established, we will look ahead to how the underlying distributions will shift over time and what these changes mean for domestic and global markets.
