Six chief economists gathered

From 14:00 to 17:00 on December 23, at the "2021 China Investment Value Trend Forum", Li Xunlei, chief economist of Zhongtai Securities, Liu Yuhui, specially invited economist of Tianfeng Securities, Shao Yu, chief economist of Orient Securities, Xu Gao, chief economist of BOC Securities, He Xiaobin, chief economist of Huaxin Securities, and Gao Ruidong, chief macroeconomist of Everbright Securities, will deliver keynote speeches. This is the largest number of chief economists invited and the strongest lineup in a single event of the China Listed Companies Summit Forum, which is also rare in the past financial media activities.

Li Xunlei, chief economist of Zhongtai Securities and director of Zhongtai Institutional Business Committee, is the pioneer of the sell-side research system of China's securities industry, engaged in macroeconomics, finance and capital market research for more than 30 years, and has been hired as an adjunct professor by many universities. At the same time, he is also a member of the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society, the chairman of the Shanghai Jiusan Financial Committee, and has participated in many forums of experts and entrepreneurs on the economic situation held by the central government. In 2017, Li Xunlei put forward a relatively clear view in China - China's economy has entered an era of stock economy dominance. In 2018, Li Xunlei wrote an article titled "Buying Things You Can't Buy Yourself", that is, proposing the logic of allocating core assets when there is excess assets. These views have had a profound impact on the allocation of residents' wealth and the trend of capital markets. At this forum, the theme of Li Xunlei's speech was "China's economy will be stable and progressive in 2022, and there is more room for release of fiscal policy."

Liu Yuhui is currently a professor of economics and doctoral supervisor of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a specially invited economist of Tianfeng Securities, and a director of the China Chief Economist Forum. It has always been known for its clear and sharp point of view. Recently, his statement that "if your assets are in the whirlpool of the old cycle, the feeling you get from the perspective of investment is hot; if your asset positions and asset exposures open in the new world and the new cycle, you get a feeling of fresh clothes and angry horses" has resonated with many investors. At this forum, the theme of his speech was "Macroeconomics and Market Prospects in 2022".

Shao Yu is currently the Chief Economist of Orient Securities and a Distinguished Practical Professor of Finance at Oceanwide School of International Finance, Fudan University. He was awarded the 2014 China Young Economist of the Year, one of the Top Ten Young Economic Figures in Shanghai, and has in-depth research on globalization trends. Recently, Shao Yu clearly pointed out: "Only the industrial and technological revolution can get rid of the greatest dilemma of mankind." From traditional commercial banks to investment banks, including the emergence of the latest Beijing Stock Exchange, providing a path for specialized new enterprises is the work to be done in capital markets and financial reform. From technology, from industrial clusters to human capital and education, to finance, such a closed loop must be completed so as not to waste the flexible space and time provided by deep urbanization, so that we can truly win the future. At this forum, the theme of his speech was "Reconstructing the underlying logic and valuation system in the post-epidemic era".

Xu Gao is currently the Chief Economist, Research Director and Member of the Executive Committee of BOC Securities. He has served as a senior economist at UBS Securities, an economist at the World Bank, and a part-time economist and research assistant at the International Monetary Fund. At the end of December 2020, Xu Gao wrote an article in the annual special issue of the Daily Economic News entitled "Epidemic, Paper Money and China's Production Capacity", clearly pointing out: "In the process of the new crown epidemic towards the end, revaluation of China will be a major trend in the global asset market, and the rise in China's stock prices and the appreciation of the RMB exchange rate will be the embodiment of this trend." This argument is supported by the strong resilience of the Chinese economy in 2021, the appreciation of the renminbi, and the structural market of A-shares. At this forum, the theme of his speech was "Returning to Policy City".

In addition, He Xiaobin, chief economist of Huaxin Securities, and Gao Ruidong, chief macroeconomist of Everbright Securities, will also deliver wonderful speeches. He Xiaobin's theme is "China's total economic growth rate next year will still be the world's first"; Gao Ruidong's theme is "2022 Global Economy and Sino-US Situation Outlook".

What are the macroeconomic and market outlook for 2022? Under the background of the increase in the scale of public and private funds and the continuous optimization of the capital structure, how to write a new chapter and grasp the investment context in 2022? It is believed that at the "China Value Trend Investment Forum" where six economists gathered on the afternoon of December 23, investors can find relevant answers.
