As multinational corporations (MNCs) face new challenges in navigating China's evolving business environment, understanding the broader economic landscape is essential for adapting strategies both locally and globally. We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive NBA event featuring Mr. Weisi Xie, Director at The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, who will provide valuable insights into the current and future business environment for MNCs in China.

The presentation will cover several critical topics, including:

• China Economic Outlook 2025 – In-depth analysis of China's economic trajectory, identifying key trends and forecasts shaping the country's future. Mr. Xie will highlight the key growth sectors and potential risks that could impact long-term investment and business strategy in the region.
• Business Sentiment of MNCs in China – Exploration of how multinational corporations are responding to the shifting economic and regulatory landscape in China. The session will examine the impact of ongoing challenges such as regulatory changes and market saturation on business sentiment, and what companies are doing to adapt.
• Relocation of Supply Chains – An assessment of the growing trend of relocating supply chains to different regions, including considerations of India and Vietnam as alternative hubs to China, and what these shifts mean for long-term operational strategy and global competitiveness. Additionally, the discussion will cover the challenges and opportunities businesses face when diversifying or shifting their supply chain strategies in response to evolving market demands and geopolitical influences.

This event is part of our China Outlook series, tailored for NBA member company executives both in China and at their international headquarters. The seminar aims to bridge critical knowledge gaps and enhance the ability of managers in China to effectively communicate the realities of the local market to their global counterparts. By gaining a deeper understanding of the current economic climate, companies will be better positioned to adapt their strategies and drive success in China.
