How to Leverage on China, the End Consumer in 2014

How to Leverage on China, the End Consumer in 2014

Alvin Liew, Senior Economist at UOB Singapore talks about his outlook for 2014: 

- China morphing into an end consumer, with a focus on domestic consumption - this still holds despite single-digit growth forecast of 7.5% in 2014?

- how SEA can benefit from China morphing into an end consumer? 

- how to benefit from increasing intra-regional trade, with China targeting USD1 trillion by 2020

- corporate leverage becoming lower for Germany, Japan, and is rising for China - from less than 50% in 1998 to more than 100% in September - something to watch more closely?

- looking at PMIs in October - US, UK and Japan are amongst the top six - BRIC countries were distinctly on the lower end of the scale, no longer in favour - any new acronyms to watch for?
