  6. China’s rapid economic expansion is set to continue Dramatic change in fortunes between Q408 and Q409 has its precedents Economic growth expected to be 8-10% p.a.over the next few years Export-led growth has given way to broadening domestic consumption, urbanisation and rural reforms Fiscal and monetary policy moving towards “neutral” as economy recovers 5 Real GDP growth QoQ saar estimated …balance between growth and inflation likely to remain

  7. Growth at any cost is no longer an option • Cost to economy and society • 5 year plan – “harmonious growth” • Climate change commitments announcedin anticipation of Copenhagen summit …much has changed with the shift towards ‘domestic’ growth

  8. Shift to “domestic” growth yields secular growth opportunities Growth Headwinds Response Economic drivers Environmental drivers Political and social drivers 7 GDP growth c. 10% p.a. over the last 20years against a background of mass urbanisation Infrastructure bottlenecks Inflation Sustainable infrastructure Resource and energy efficiency, railways, technology Increasing resource demand Energy, water, food Pollution and degradation Costs 8%-12% of GDP p.a. Process engineering Water treatment, waste management, construction, materials Social progress Creation of middle class, improvement to social security net Social tension Unrest between migrant workers and city dwellers Investment in human capital Healthcare and education

  10.
