Affin Hwang Asset Management Berhad (“Affin Hwang AM” or “the Company”) believes that while the global markets may remain volatile in the near future, pockets of opportunity will continue to present themselves. Despite the current economy slowdown, China remains one of the fastest growing economies globally. The Asian giant's economic growth remained in the spotlight of global economies as it plays the role of key trading partner to many economies. Affin Hwang AM believes that an annual growth rate of 6%-7% for China would likely be a more sustainable pace as the markets ease into a new normal. The Company expects the People’s Bank of China to remain active in rolling out policy measures in a bid to spur its economy.
