中国的机遇是“小荷才露尖尖角” | “与中国共成长”跨国CEO论坛

中国2023年全年经济数据发布在即，外界高度关注中国经济在2024年的增长势头以及深化改革开放的最新举措。

此前，2023年12月召开的中央经济工作会议提出要“扩大高水平对外开放”，10月召开的中央金融工作会议首提“金融强国”建设目标，给市场增添信心。

中国开放带给世界的机遇是

“小荷才露尖尖角”

China's new round of opening-up has brought the biggest opportunities to the world.

At present, this is only the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. China's market in 2024 will exert even greater mega-market appeal, with a higher level of openness that will attract more countries.

I think we can have continued opening-up that will benefit China as well as the Asian-Pacific countries and regions as a whole.

The financial industry is the lifeblood of the economy. When the finance is vibrant, the entire market will be dynamic, with rapid circulation and heightened expectations. This, in turn, fuels more vibrant economic activities across the entire market, creating a positive cycle of efficient total-factor productivity.

针对金融领域改革和开放所带来的机遇，瑞典北欧斯安银行北京代表处首席代表凌万儒（Peter Ling-Vannerus）表示，中国的资产管理行业正在萌芽，养老金相关金融业务也有很多新兴机会。许多外国金融公司，尤其是欧洲金融公司都看到了中国金融开放的潜力。同时，这些外国公司在金融领域的成熟经验也可以为中国市场发展作出一定贡献。

We know that there is an incipient asset management industry and also on the pension side. There are a lot of opportunities. Many foreign financial institutions see opportunities in that sector where they have a profound and deep knowledge, and that they will be willing to contribute to the Chinese market.

面对“脱钩断链”，中国如何应对？

魏建国认为，中国已经成功地抵御了某些国家所实施的“脱钩断链”举措，主要因为中国经济具备以下三大优势。

首先，中国制造业生产具有门类齐全、上下游密切对接的集群优势；其次，中国正持续推进高科技发展和数字经济发展；同时，庞大的中国市场对外资企业也有着巨大的吸引力。

全球化智库副主任兼经济学家大卫·布莱尔（David Blair）补充道，中国还具有强大且有特色的产业集群，它们分布在不同地区，在世界其他地方很难进行复制。

It has some very powerful clusters that are unique in the world - clusters of industry at different locations. That would be, I think, impossible to move and very hard to duplicate anywhere else.

I think the future of China's reform is a long-term process, but it will emphasize China's mega-market advantages, and that the door of China's opening-up is getting bigger and bigger. China's economy in 2024 will definitely be better than 2023.

If China can continue to provide a predictive policy environment, if it can ensure continuity in business policies, those are the kinds of things that I think foreign investors would always like.
