How to Leverage on China, the End Consumer in 2014

Alvin Liew, Senior Economist at UOB Singapore talks about his outlook for 2014: 

- China morphing into an end consumer, with a focus on domestic consumption - this still holds despite single-digit growth forecast of 7.5% in 2014?

- how SEA can benefit from China morphing into an end consumer? 

- how to benefit from increasing intra-regional trade, with China targeting USD1 trillion by 2020

- corporate leverage becoming lower for Germany, Japan, and is rising for China - from less than 50% in 1998 to more than 100% in September - something to watch more closely?

- looking at PMIs in October - US, UK and Japan are amongst the top six - BRIC countries were distinctly on the lower end of the scale, no longer in favour - any new acronyms to watch for?
