International Market Update:
- Several companies have announced plans to shift manufacturing from China to South East Asia, including HP and Dell. A handful of Chinese companies, such as TCL, are making the same move. Is this due to the US – China trade war, increasing labor cost or a mix? We believe the manufacturing sector’s exit / sell off began prior to the trade war, the result of a change in the investment environment, such as increasing labor cost in China. And, the trade war has magnified things with increasing uncertainty. What are your thoughts?
- Great news for foreign firms! China’s natural gas industry reform opens the opportunities for both Chinese and foreign firms. China further removes its restrictions on China opens oil and gas to investment after US trade truce.
- India’s new bankruptcy law has instilled fear among delinquent borrowers. Companies facing bankruptcy petitions have reportedly cleared dues of as much as Rs 830 billion ($12 billion) with creditors. This also opens new opportunities for foreign firms to enter India’s market at a lower cost.
