SUMMARY OUR BUSINESS MODEL We are an air freight solution provider positioned in the wholesale market, with an operating history since 1991. Our business model principally involves purchasing air cargo space from airlines and/or integrated carriers and on-selling such space to our customers, namely freight forwarders. Airlines and integrated carriers generally engage their respective appointed wholesalers and freight forwarders to market and/or on-sell their air cargo space for ease of management, cost effectiveness and minimising credit exposure instead of dealing with a large pool of freight forwarders and shippers themselves. Our main role for airlines and integrated carriers is to source a necessary amount of air cargos from freight forwarders on a timely basis to enable them to maximise the utilisation of air cargo space of their aircrafts. We handled approximately 13,386 tons, 18,849 tons, 29,114 tons and 17,059 tons of cargo for the three financial years ended 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the six months ended 30 June 2011 respectively. Our wholesale market positioning Airlines and integrated carriers are the initiating parties along the supply chain of the air cargo industry for the delivery of air freight services through layers of intermediaries to the eventual shippers. Our wholesale market positioning is demonstrated in the below diagram: Airlines * Cargo and/or courier/express parcel transporters using their own Our Group’s freight fleets to provide direct positioning and fully integrated express * / Wholesalers air cargo services riers ar ated c gr freight forwarders Inte Freight forwarders global Shippers We position ourselves as an air freight solution provider in the wholesale market so that our freight forwarding customers do not have to worry about their own retail customers i.e. shippers being solicited by us. Positioning ourselves in the wholesale market therefore enables us to secure an extensive network of freight forwarders as our customers. During the Track Record Period, we served over [1,000] freight forwarders, comprising 100 of them contributing to approximately [79.9]%, [80.8]%, [78.5]% and 1 THIS WEB PROOF INFORMATION PACK IS IN DRAFT FORM.

  • William T. Allen Han Shen China's Securities Markets Are
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH PROJECT CAPITALIZING CHINA LATEST REVISED JULY 20, 2010 ASSESSING CHINA’S TOP-DOWN SECURITIES MARKETS William T. Allen New York University School of Law & NYU Stern School of Business Han Shen Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP China’s securities markets are unlike those of Amsterdam, London or New York. Those markets evolved over centuries from myriad interac- tions among those seeking finance on the one hand and savers seeking rewarding investments on the other. Such spontaneous securities mar- kets did emerge throughout China in the 1980s following the start of economic liberalization, but these spontaneous markets were closed by the government in favor of new and tightly controlled exchanges estab- lished in the early 1990s in Shanghai and Shenzhen. These new markets, have been designed to and largely limited to, serving state purposes, that is to assist in the financing of the state sector of the economy. Rather than evolving in a bottom-up pattern, they are controlled, top-down se- curities markets. This essay reviews as of June 2010, the development of these markets, the economic functions they perform, the regulatory structure that controls and shapes them, and the governance mechan- isms – legal and otherwise – that controls the management of the PRC listed companies. These markets represent a signal accomplishment of the Chinese leadership in producing in less than twenty years’ modern, albeit not yet fully developed, securities markets. Whether they can be further developed to serve more basic economic role than they have been permitted to play is a question with which the essay concludes.

Ajit Department of Economics University of Northern British Columbia Prince George, British Columbia, Canada Tel: (250)960-6484 Fax: (250)960-5545 Email: [email protected] ______________________________ The Authors wish to thank Dr. Gang Peng of Renmin University of China for his valuable comments on this study. However, the usual disclaimer applies. 1 Abstract This study investigates the impact of stock market development on economic growth in China. To this end, the quarterly data from 1996 to 2011 are used and the empirical investigation is conducted within the unit root and the cointegration framework. The results show that the relationship between the stock market development, proxied by the total market capitalization, and economic growth is negative. This result is consistent with Harris’ (1997) finding that the stock market development generally does not contribute positively to economic growth in developing countries if the stock market is mainly an administratively-driven market. Key Words: Stock Market, Economic Growth, Unit Root, Cointegration JEL Classification: G10, O1, O4, C22. 2 1. Introduction The impact of the stock market development on economic growth has long been a controversial issue. The theoretical debates generally focus on the increasing intermediation roles and functions of the stock market in promoting liquidity, mobilizing and pooling savings, generating information for potential investments and capital allocation, monitoring firms and exerting corporate control, and providing vehicles for trading, pooling and diversifying risks.

The China’s financial growth has always been interesting to discuss since it becomes one of the driver of the industrialization and economic growth in this twenty-first century. Unlike the other countries, China’s financial sector is dominated by banking system and non-banking system. The banking and non-banking system creates the China’s financial system alive. In addition, it also emerged the China’s stock market which is Shanghai stock exchange market and Shenzhen stock exchange market. These two stock markets are the biggest stock market in China mainland. These two stock markets help to provide the platform for the investor to invest.

To explain how the crisis which is believed will create the sentiment towards the investment activities, setting up the history of the China’s financial system would be to portray the basic condition in China.

    China took a big step in the development of both its financial and risk management markets when it officially inaugurated, on Sept. 8, the China Financial Futures Exchange in Shanghai. This exchange will extend into the financial sphere an industry that’s already thriving in commodities. Since the 1990s, the Dalian Commodity Exchange, the Shanghai Futures Exchange, and the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange have been trading a healthy slate of commodity futures, such as copper and fuel oil at the SFE, soybeans and corn at the DCE, and sugar and wheat at the The Dawning ZCE. Volume should top 200 million contracts this of Financial year, an impressive increase from 27 million in 2000. Some 183 firms provide brokerage and Futures In support services. China To be sure, the launch of the new exchange was a bit of an anti-climax, since it was accompanied By Nick Ronalds by no product launch or even an announcement and Wang Xue Qin of a launch date. Still, the official establishment of a financial futures exchange was a clear sign that financial futures will not be long in coming.

LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE COMMODITY AND FINANCIAL FUTURES MARKET IN CHINA Sanzhu Zhu* I. INTRODUCTION The establishment of China’s first commodity futures exchange in Zhengzhou, Henan in October 1990 marked the emergence of a futures market in China. The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange was created in the wake of the country’s economic reform and development, and it became the first experimental commodity futures market approved by the central government. The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange provided a platform and facilitated a need for commodity futures trading arising alongside China’s economic reform, which had begun in 1978, and which was moving towards a market economy by the early 1990s.1 Sixteen years later, the China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) was established in Shanghai.2 This was followed by the opening of gold futures trading on the Shanghai Futures Exchange on January 9, 2008.3 China gradually developed a legal and regulatory framework for its commodity and financial futures markets beginning in the early 1990s, * Senior Lecturer in Chinese commercial law, School of Law, SOAS, University of London.
