[Fully Booked] Business Confidence Survey 2024

SwissCham Shanghai, in partnership with the European Chamber of Commerce, CCI FRANCE CHINE, Benelux Chamber of commerce, and Roland Berger cordially invites you to attend the European Business in China – Business Confidence Survey 2024.

Mr Bruno WEILL and Mr Charles BILLARD will present the key findings of this year's Business Confidence Survey 2024 by European Chamber of Commerce.

Instead of the strong economic rebound that businesses had hoped for, China's reopening in 2023 brought more uncertainties for European firms operating in the country. China's deeper structural issues — including sluggish demand, high levels of local government debt and the continued challenges in the real estate sector — continued to weigh on the prospects of both domestic and foreign companies, and the economy overall.

With optimism over the near- and medium-term outlook fading, some companies have already started to re-evaluate their engagement with the Chinese market. Some of the strategies they are pursuing — including cutting costs and toning down expansion plans — have the potential to add to China's economic woes and set a negative cycle in motion. If China is to prevent this cycle and rebuild investor confidence, it will need to urgently address the regulatory and market access barriers that are preventing European companies from contributing fully to its economy.

中国瑞士商会（上海）与中国欧盟商会、法国工商会、荷比卢商会以及罗兰贝格战略咨询公司诚邀您出席 "欧洲企业在中国--2024年商业信心调查"。

Bruno WEILL先生和Charles BILLARD先生将介绍欧盟商会本年度《商业信心调查2024》的主要结论。

中国于 2023 年重新开放，但这并没有带来企业所期望的强劲经济反弹，反而给在华经营的欧洲企业带来了更多的不确定性。中国更深层次的结构性问题--包括需求疲软、地方政府债务高企和房地产行业的持续挑战--继续对国内外企业和整体经济的前景造成压力。

随着对近期和中期前景的乐观情绪逐渐消退，一些公司已经开始重新评估与中国市场的合作。它们所采取的一些策略，包括削减成本和缩减扩张计划，有可能加剧中国的经济困境，并引发负面循环。如果中国要防止这种循环并重建投资者的信心，就必须尽快解决阻碍欧洲企业为中国经济做出全面贡献的监管和市场准入壁垒。
