With an average annual GDP growth of 11 percent during the last five years, China has surpassed Japan as the world's second-largest economy and is likely in the near future to outpace economic expansion in the U.S. and EU by several times. During the next five years, how will Chinese government policy maintain this growth while preventing the economy from "overheating," and how can your organization seize opportunities in this market?
During this webinar, we will examine the Five-Year Plan (FYP) that China will unveil in March, and its implications for your organization's public affairs strategies. The FYP - China's 12th - is a blueprint for economic and social development for the first half of this decade. It defines the policy framework for working with foreign business and other stakeholders. Participate in this webinar to learn:
- The FYP's highlights, including China's new focus on domestic-consumption led growth, "economic rebalancing," technological innovation and social reforms such as expanded health care
- Changes in the regulatory environment and which industries will benefit the most
- Best-practices in managing a public affairs program in China's high-growth environment
- Perspectives on changes in China's senior leadership in 2012
