7 White Paper on the Business Environment in China
Budgeted Reinvestment in China
To accommodate fluctuating sample sizes, for the past six years we have reported
reinvestment figures normalized to 100 companies as a primary year-on-year
comparison. This figure is calculated as the products of the mean of each category range
and the percentage of total participants indicating that category, except in the case of
the largest (US$250 million or more) category, for which the minimum value is used.
What is noticeable is that we have witnessed a 4.12% decline in 2017 one-year
reinvestment budgets compared with the same period last year, suggesting that
confidence in investing in China for the coming year is not that high.
