Britain fell out of the top ten leading countries in the world for industrial production for the first time and dropped in the ranking below Russia and Mexico - Times, citing an analysis by the industry association Make UK. For 2022, Britain dropped from 8th to 12th place in the ranking of manufacturing economies, lagging behind Mexico and Russia, which rose to seventh and eighth places, respectively. "Mexico has benefited from increased investment from China, while Russia has increased its defense production to 6% of GDP. In the first place was China, in the second - the United States,” - the article says.

Once again: China is navigating its way out of a property-induced economic slowdown by boosting its exports. Despite representing roughly 17% of the global GDP, China's impact on the world economy is even more pronounced in manufacturing and consumption. It accounts for a staggering 31% of global manufacturing, yet only 13% of global consumption. China's strategy not only helps alleviate global goods inflation but also sets the stage for potential global trade wars, especially with the looming prospect of another Trump presidency. The delicate balance between China's massive manufacturing output and its relatively low consumption creates a fertile ground for economic tensions and trade disputes on the international stage. As China continues to flex its manufacturing muscle, the risk of friction with major trading partners grows, potentially reshaping the global economic landscape. #china #economy

wise to ask the question: Is it worth it for us to do business in China? That makes sense? Right now, nearly every global business is reevaluating its China strategy. Despite the new challenges, for many businesses the answer remains “Yes.” China, after all, is the world’s second-largest economy and roughly the same size as the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth combined. The country will be the primary engine of global growth for the next five years, according to the IMF, contributing nearly twice as much to the global share as India, the global number two and increasingly popular China alternative. It’s also the world’s largest producer and consumer of electronics and electric vehicles, and the world’s largest growth market for luxury goods. Sector by sector, the list goes on, with China always the global number one or two. Given all of these factors, many businesses will simply have to make China some part of their future…

In the latest global business developments, we'll explore significant changes affecting markets and economies across the world, including industry shifts in China, economic challenges in Germany, and emerging trade interests in South America: - Asia: Volkswagen and its Chinese partner SAIC plan to close at least one plant in China due to slow demand for combustion engine cars, with the Nanjing plant, which produces VW Passat and Skoda cars, being the first threatened with closure. - Europe: Germany, once a global economic powerhouse, is now the worst-performing major developed economy, facing challenges such as high energy costs, government inaction on chronic problems, and a lack of digital technology adoption, largely due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the loss of cheap natural gas. - Africa: Kenya Electricity Transmission Co. is still negotiating with Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. for the construction of three power lines, despite earlier claims of a finalized deal, with the project cost revised to $736.5 million and Kenya facing a $5 billion financing gap for power lines. - South America: Vietnam is interested in a trade deal with Mercosur, according to Brazil's President Lula, highlighting potential new trade relationships in the region. - Middle East: Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 60 Palestinians overnight, including in a school sheltering displaced families, as Israeli tanks advanced in areas of Khan Younis in the south of the enclave. - Australia/Oceania: No significant global business news from this region in the provided sources. - India

What does China’s transformation mean for European companies? China is an important market for European investors in many ways. European companies tend to have more international exposure than their US peers, and China’s impressive economic growth over recent decades has created huge market opportunities for European companies.   China is not only an important sales destination for European companies, but also in manufacturing, which has led to many European companies having direct or indirect value chain exposure to China. In many cases, it is hard to imagine a “pure” European product without the involvement of Chinese manufacturing.   Read more from Grant Yun Cheng, CFA on the effect and influence of China’s transformation for Europe here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-zE6ehE   Allianz Global Investors   #China #globalequities #embracingdisruption #transformation

The term ‘Made in China’ is synonymous with the manufacturing industry, and for decades, the nation has been known as ‘the world’s factory’. But, due to a confluence of factors, many businesses today are starting to signal a move away from Chinese manufacturing. Ultimately, the shift away from Chinese manufacturing is not just a short-term trend that has emerged in light of current world politics but signals the start of a long-term diversification of manufacturing geography. As manufacturing sectors across different markets emerge, develop and start to compete with China’s affordability and efficiency, businesses will be able to mitigate the risks associated with geopolitical and economic uncertainties and, in turn, build a more resilient, future-proofed business.

The logistics sector is one of the most important modern sectors in the transportation system, and the National Transport and Logistics Strategy aims to develop it. This is particularly significant given that the Kingdom has a unique strategic geographical location at the crossroads of trade routes. Additionally, the Kingdom is bordered by two seas: the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea, making it the only Gulf country that enjoys this advantage. Furthermore, one-third of the world's oil exports pass through the Arabian Gulf, while 13% of global trade transits through the Red Sea. Naturally, this allows the Kingdom to connect markets inhabited by over 6 billion people. It is noteworthy that in 2019, the Kingdom advanced 72 positions in the Ease of Doing Business index. The transport system has established several logistics zones, including the Al-Khumra Logistics Zone. The Kingdom also boasts the largest economy in the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, and Iraq, contributing approximately 38% of the total GDP and accounting for 21% of the population in this region.
