China offers investment growth, expert claims

Mon, 14 Apr 2008

China-based investments have the potential for long-term growth, despite a number of short-term concerns, one expert has claimed.

Mike Hanbury-Williams, manager of the F&C Pacific Growth and FC Asia Dynamic investment funds, explained that high inflation, social unrest and rising food prices are all putting pressure on the Chinese economy .

However, despite these factors, Mr Hanbury-Williams still believes that the country present may good investment opportunities.

"We think that domestically the economy will continue seeing growth, maybe at a slower rate closer to eight or nine per cent GDP growth, compared to the plus ten per cent rates we have seen in the past."

However, he added that he still favours domestic-orientated investments, rather than export-related ones.

Last week, Steve Thornber, global equity manager at Threadneedle, claimed that oil still represents good value for money and is an attractive investment.

He explained that while prices are currently high, he expects that the value of the commodity is set to increase even further.
