Although China’s GDP is still just a fraction of that of the US, in terms of economic influence in the world, it may only be a matter of time before China holds even more sway than their robust economic statistics would indicate.” Vishakha N. Desai, President of Asia Society. For the past two decades, the world has witnessed historic economic growth in China with its market open to world and foreign capital inflows from various resources.
With the country’s re-entry into the World Trade Organisation and its government’s great commitment to continue economic reform, there will be even more emphasis on the role of its capital markets in the coming few years. However, the extent of which this trend will be translated into opportunities for financial services firms and intermediaries especially foreign multinational investors, is subject to much debate.
As a comprehensive guide to the capital markets in China, The Euromoney China Capital Markets Handbook 2005 brings together a select consortium of leading experts who provide in-depth commentary on a range of diverse subjects, together with cutting-edge editorial coverage of these dynamic markets for the very first time. Leading capital market players including Standard Chartered Bank, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, State Street Global Advisors and Deutsche Bank AG share their research and insights on the topics on everyone's agenda in China: the Chinese bond market, gradualism, exchange-traded funds and accounting for derivatives, to name but a few.
In addition to this, market professionals will benefit from articles written by leading industry associations and regulatory bodies such as Asia Society, Professional Risk Managers’ International Association (PRMIA), Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Shanghai Stock Exchange. The publication also features an exclusive directory - listing job titles, direct e-mail addresses and telephone numbers for all contributors and industry associations in the region. These individual contact details, combined with the expert editorial make the Handbook an essential reference source for any investor or corporate community keen to capitalise from authoritative commentary and contacts in one easy-to-read volume.
