Recently, around the theme of "Effectively Promoting the High-quality Development of Hongkou's Economy", the Party Groups of the Development and Reform Commission, the Commerce Commission, and the Statistics Bureau of Hongkou District co-held a joint group of theoretical learning centers to expand learning. Dr. Zhang Guoxiong, Executive Director of Deloitte China, was specially invited to give a special guidance report on "China's Economic Outlook and Dynamics of Multinational Enterprises in China".
In Deloitte China, Zhang Guoxiong mainly provides macroeconomic and policy advice to foreign and local corporate executives, helping multinational companies localize and Chinese companies globalize.
The lecture is divided into two sections: "China Economic Outlook" and "Dynamics of Multinational Enterprises in China". It combines the perspectives of macro environmental analysis and micro enterprise investment. Through a series of data and charts, it vividly interprets the opportunities and challenges faced by China's economic development, and helps participants better understand the starting point of investment strategies of multinational companies, providing a lot of inspiration for the next step of foreign economic work.
According to reports, last year, investment in some large foreign investment projects slowed down due to external environmental factors, so the work of stabilizing foreign investment in Hongkou faces serious challenges. However, through advanced planning and careful deployment, the work of foreign investment in Hongkou has calmly addressed challenges. In January this year, it still ushered in a good start, with a year-on-year increase of 5.5% in attracting foreign investment, which is extremely difficult.
An official of the District Commerce Committee stated that opportunities and challenges coexist in 2023. Recently, some senior executives of Hongkou multinational headquarters enterprises have begun to come to Shanghai, indicating that foreign enterprises have not diminished confidence in increasing investment in Hongkou and Shanghai. However, in the face of sudden changes in the international financial situation, the uncertainty of overseas investment is also increasing.
In order to resist these risks, Hongkou will steadily improve its foreign investment work by strengthening its internal quality and external services. On the one hand, it will promote the improvement of foreign capital service teams, and create a professional, market-oriented, and international economic work atmosphere throughout the district. They specially invited experts from Deloitte, a world-renowned consulting firm, to give lectures, in the hope that such interactive exchanges can generate more "golden ideas". On the other hand, the commercial department will continue to strengthen foreign investment services by strengthening the recruitment of large foreign investment projects, carrying out foreign investment promotion activities, expanding foreign investment promotion and other means, to promote the landing of more headquarters enterprises in Hongkou.
