As the world’s second largest economy, China's economic growth and government policies have a significant impact on the global economy. Given scale and the potential impact of these developments, it is important that business understands the drivers of any changes. A case in point has been recent challenges triggered by a persistent and continual outflow of capital, with Chinese foreign currency reserves momentarily falling below US $3 Trillion in January for the first time in nearly six years. To counter this trend Chinese regulators are playing an increasingly active role in managing capital outflows, with the implementation of a suite of new restrictions. The drivers and factors underscoring these policy shifts are widespread, complex, and encompass a range of issues including; China’s economic growth rates, RMB internationalisation, domestic savings rates, property and commodity markets, government policy, amongst others.
Join our expert panel as we unpack the underlying macroeconomic trends driving these policy shifts, but also the impact this is having on Australia China bilateral business, including both FDI and M&A activities.

- RMB management and internationalization – the road to 2020
