China’s productivity crisis is a significant factor underpinning the deceleration of its economy, which in turn has contributed substantially to the global economic slowdown. The crisis has developed largely due to China’s reform agenda, which looks to move the economy towards a more sustainable model based on consumption, services and productivity that favours quality over quantity.
Join Bart Van Ark, Chief Economist of the Conference Board, and Andrew Batson, Director of China Research at Gavekal Dragonomics, who will share their insights on the new dynamics that will guide the world’s second largest economy into a new era of development.
