Mr. Frederik Berckmoes-Joos, Chief Strategy Officer at Moore Stephens, will present the results of this year's Sino-Benelux Business Survey.

About the Sino Benelux Business Survey
During previous year’s business survey, we learned that despite the slowdown of the Chinese economy, Benelux businesses were still performing well. Some were even beating the market with revenue growth above 10% and good profit levels. On the otherhand, still some challenges remained. Rising salary costs has been one of the major negative drivers of Benelux companies, also they have indicated increasing rules and regulations would impact their company.

Many changes happened again in 2016, including regulatory, foreign exchange and tax reforms, we have seen increasing focus on domestic consumption and rapid development of new industries based on new technologies (e-commerce, mobile payments, V.R etc.). Also, other global developments might impact geopolitical and economic balancesand as a result Benelux companies active in China. How have Benelux companies performed this year within this context? What are now the main challenges for Benelux companies in China? How will changes of the past year impact your business and how to adapt to these changes? This year’s survey will answer these questions and will provide Benelux companies active in China a better understanding of the changing Chinese economy.

Join this unique event and find out what a changing Chinese economy means to your business!

This event will be hosted by the Benelux Union and followed by a networking drink.
