BenCham Annual General Meeting & Sino Benelux Business Survey

BenCham invites members to the BenCham Annual General Meeting 2019.

We will be joined by Moore Stephens, who start the evening with a presentation on the outcome of the Sino Benelux Business Survey.

Though the Chinese economy has been experiencing pressure from developments such as the China-US Trade War and slowing economic growth, the Chinese GDP according to statistics from Reuters grew with 6.6% in 2018 – which is still a solid growth rate as compared to many other developing and developed economies around the world.

Both 2018 and early 2019 have shown many new reforms to be introduced, which includes the Individual Income Tax (IIT) Reform, new Negative List, Foreign Investment Law (to be implemented in 2020) and reductions in VAT and Corporate Income Tax rates. These have been implemented in a bid to further stabilize the economy and stimulate economic activity for 2019.

As China is ever-more changing rapidly and developing its economy, how have Benelux (i.e. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) businesses performed in this market? Have the companies been impacted by the China-US Trade War, or experienced any business opportunities as of the Belt & Road Initiative?

After we hear from Moore Stephens how the Benelux business community has performed in 2018, their experiences in the market and what are their expectations for 2019, the evening will be followed by the Annual General Meeting 2019.

Please be aware this event is for members only. Have the opportunity to network and connect over drinks after the AGM 2019. We look forward to seeing you.
