Introduction to the 12th Five Year Plan, Beijing, Feb. 22nd

In March of this year China will adopt the 12th Five Year Plan. This plan represents the strategic policy document guiding China`s economic development through 2015. In fact, the policies outlined in the plan will affect the business of every foreign invested company in China.

We will consider first the 10 basic goals of the five year plan. Afterwards we will consider in detail the two themes that will mostly impact foreign business:

• China`s plan to transition to an economy characterized by domestic consumption and indigenous innovation;
• China`s plan to achieve energy security while effectively confronting the issues of environmental pollution and
climate change.

China`s goal is to completely transform its economy over the next decade. The 12th Five Year Plan is the first stage of that transformation. By understanding the Plan and its basic themes, foreign companies can effectively position themselves for participation in this ambitious program.

The seminar will be presented by Mr Steven M. Dickinson, partner of the Harris Moure International Law Firm.
