The Nordic Chambers and the Nordic Centre at Fudan University in Shanghai are pleased to welcome you and your colleagues to a Breakfast Seminar at Radisson New World Hotel. 
                                                       
China's economy grew by 7.9% in the second quarter and few economists believe that China will not achieve its official full-year target of 8%. The key to growth has been massive bank lending and huge infrastructure investments. Local governments and banks are betting on the future and that world economic growth will accelerate again. But just how sustainable is the current growth model, and what risks are hiding behind the figures?
 
To discuss this and give us some perspective, we have invited Mr Stephen Green, Head of  Research, Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai to be guest speaker on this Breakfast Seminar on the 23rd of October.
