Overview

The world economy is facing many risks and uncertainties as it bounces back after the recent financial meltdown. One big uncertainty is the recent slowdown in China’s economy. But China still has a lot of untapped growth potential and Innovative macroeconomic policies are needed to unleash it. This requires accelerating the pace of structural reform and further opening up to fuel the China’s growth engine and to ensure that the country can sustain a medium-to-high growth rate.

This year marks the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan. In such a crucial period of transition, it is important to raise pertinent questions such as: How to remove bottlenecks in the reform process? Where is China’s economy heading? And what is the appropriate blueprint for developing the country over the next five years? The 6th Caixin Summit brings together top policy makers, business leaders and academics, from China and abroad, to answer these burning questions and more.
