On March 5, 2024, Premier Li Qiang delivered the <<Report on the Work of the Government>> at the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress of China. Globally, economic recovery was slow, with increasing geopolitical tensions and rising protectionism. Domestically, China faced challenges in economic recovery due to the prolonged impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, exacerbated by existing structural issues and emerging risks in areas such as real estate and financial institutions.

In response to these challenges, the government outlined its tasks for 2024, including issuing ultra-long-term special government bonds and opening up new tracks in emerging fields like quantum technology and life sciences. Additionally, China plans to implement measures to further open up its economy, such as relaxing market access restrictions and promoting cross-border services trade.

To delve deeper into these issues and their implications for businesses, the European Chamber is pleased to host Mr. Xu Sitao, Chief Economist and partner at Deloitte China, to share his insights and forecasts on the economy. Mr. Xu brings extensive experience, having previously served as Chief Representative of China and EIU Forecasting Director at the Economist Group. We will also provide an opportunity for members to introduce themselves and engage in discussion.

With the revised Company Law stipulating that companies, when doing business, shall “fully consider” the interests of their employees as well as environmental protection, and are encouraged to publish social responsibility reports, it becomes clear that companies need to ensure their compliance also in the ESG area. The developing ESG legal framework makes it difficult for companies to maintain a detailed and comprehensive overview.

In the current complex and changeable economic environment, the execution results of the transfer pricing of the inter-group affiliated transactions of multinational enterprises are likely to deviate from the expected goals, resulting in the profit and loss level of the affiliated transactions being lower than expected or the retention of excess profits.

The European Chamber Nanjing Chapter invited KPMG expert team to exchange and share the latest development and practice of transfer pricing adjustment at the end of the year.
