In August 2016 a review of this publication in the UK in 1992 of “Financial Aspects of Corporate Governance”, code was announced by the Chairman of the CSRC, and other legislative more widely known as the “Cadbury Report”. According to Cadbury, “The reforms are also under review. As more and more global investors consider shareholders’ role in governance is to appoint the directors and the auditors investing in Chinese equities, the importance of these efforts to adopt and and to satisfy themselves that an appropriate governance structure is in adhere to global standards of good corporate governance can only continue place” and “The responsibilities of the board include setting the company’s to grow.

  • Global Competition and the Rise of China
    WORKING PAPER WP 17-3 Global Competition and the Rise of China Caroline Freund and Dario Sidhu February 2017 Abstract Using firm level data, the authors examine how global industrial concentration has changed over the last decade in relation to the rise of China. Between 2006 and 2014, global concentration has declined in most industries and is falling on average across all industries, while firms at the top of the distribution are experiencing significant churning. The resulting enhanced industrial competition is partly attributable to the rising market shares of firms from China and other emerging markets at the expense of incumbent industry leaders. The authors further show evidence of global allocative efficiency—highly productive firms tend to be larger and grow faster. Global concentra- tion has, however, risen significantly in several industries where Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) dominate, and China’s SOEs are on average too large and expanding too fast given their low levels of productivity. JEL codes: D22, F23 Keywords: big business, multinational enterprise, state-owned enterprise, concentration Caroline Freund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics since May 2013, was chief economist for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Bank (2011–13). Prior to that she was lead economist (2009–11) and senior economist (2002–09) in the research department of the World Bank. She was also senior economist at the International Monetary Fund (2006–07) and economist at the Federal Reserve Board (1997–2003). Dario Sidhu is a research analyst at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Authors’ note: We are grateful for comments from Chad Bown, Simeon Djankov, Nicholas Lardy, Devashish Mitra, Marcus Noland, Denisse Pierola, Adam Posen, Dave Richardson, and participants at seminars at Aarhus University, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and Syracuse University.

All rights reserved. 2 China’s Energy Sector: A clearer view Introduction Peter Fung Partner in Charge Industrial Markets KPMG China The growing sophistication of China’s industrial base and the rising power of domestic consumers are critical factors shaping China’s energy needs. As China’s export markets weaken, domestic consumption is becoming a more critical driver of growth. No other economy in history has developed under the kind of international scrutiny that China faces today. In particular, this scrutiny has focused on the country’s environmental record and its global ambitions to secure energy and natural resources. As many as 350 million additional people are expected to inhabit China’s cities in the coming decades1 and this will require extensive investments in the energy sector. China, like the United States, Britain and Germany, has relied on coal to generate the power it needs to drive its economic growth. But as this report shows, China is diversifying its energy sources by adopting renewable energies and applying clean-burning technologies to coal-fired power plants.

  • What Is a Land Rich Company?
    No provision for capital gains tax (CGT) will be derived from the trading of A-shares, bar those derived from the trading of PRC resident enterprises defined as “Land Rich Companies”. Further, Z-Ben Advisors believe that this LRC provision extends to HK-domiciled RQFII funds only. The European outlook suggests that no withholding provision will be made as stated by Source/CSOP in their CSOP Source FTSE China A50 UCITS ETF prospectus, we expect Deutsche Bank/Harvest to follow suit with their db x-trackers Harvest CSI300 Index UCITS ETF . Below is Z-Ben Advisors’ LRC breakdown of what we understand constitutes a Land Rich Company and what proportion these contribute to the CSI 300 and FTSE China A50 indices.
