Asia Pacific economies are hoping for a China recovery in 2024 but they do not see a clear roadmap towards this. China’s Government plans to address the downturn their own way but the market thinks otherwise. Furthermore, state owned banks may be asked to bail out property developers which will strain the financial system. Peter Lewis, Founder & Director of Peter Lewis Consulting gives us an overview whether 2024 will be the year of the China dragon.
