What Are The Best Opportunities To Invest In China?
Despite much chatter in London, New York and Hong Kong throughout the 80s and 90s, it is only now that the predicted growth of the Chinese economy is being seen. But what growth and what a rate has it been. If you are looking to take a cut of this success for yourself, and invest in China, it is important you go in armed with a few basics.
Growth has been most noticeable in several key areas. Most noticeably for the early protagonists that chose to invest in China, is in clothing. Always a sound investment, consumers in the western world are both in need of, and in desire of clothes; male and female alike. Computers too are popular and, to a lesser degree, furniture.
Another area where investment has been huge, and returns generous, is throughout the toy industry. An industry that never seems to suffer particularly hard no matter the worldwide financial situation; toys can be produced cheaply, effectively and sold for huge profits in western malls and shopping districts.
Many other opportunities to invest in China are out there and clearly signposted. For example, China is second only to the US in its consumption of oil; whilst being both the biggest consumer and producer of coal. Indeed, investment in this sector is booming despite the global collective towards environmental concerns.
In their railways too; where investment has always been high, further adventurous plans are ongoing. With many contracts being passed to private western contractors, this is certainly a new opportunity to watch with interest.
A word of warning is necessary when considering opportunities to invest in China however. Markets are always volatile as they first emerge and, in today's global economic crisis, China is very exposed; as was proven in the veritable collapse of the Shanghai Composite Index towards the end of 2008. - 23212
