China’s economy posts biggest rise in a decade

THE Chinese economy grew 10.7 percent in 2006 – the biggest increase in 10 years, even as the nation’s financial leaders tried to rein in excessive growth.

Their efforts did appear to have some effect in the last quarter, however, as the blistering pace tailed off slightly with a decline in fixed-asset investment.

Gross domestic product mounted to 20.94 trillion yuan (US$2.7 trillion) in the world’s fourth-largest economy last year, driven by overseas sales, investment and booming domestic consumption, the National Bureau of Statistics said yesterday.

Yearly growth exceeded the 10.4 percent gain in 2005, the bureau said. But after GDP peaked at 11.5 percent in second-quarter 2006, the rate of increase tailed off to 10.4 percent in the last three months.

“A combination of policies to rein in lending and control land use helped prevent the economy from expanding faster,” Xie Fuzhan, chief of the National Bureau of Statistics, said in Beijing.

Among the economy’s major components, the manufacturing sector grew the most last year, surging 12.5 percent to 10.2 trillion yuan. It was followed by the service industry, which advanced 10.3 percent to 8.27 trillion yuan. Agriculture rose five percent to 2.47 trillion yuan.

The country’s macroeconomic controls finally began to gain traction. Fixed-asset spending rose 24 percent to 10.99 trillion yuan overall, slowing from the 29.8 percent in the first half and 25.7 percent in 2005. Investment in the nation’s urban fixed assets climbed to 9.35 trillion yuan, up 24.5 percent from a year earlier, compared with a 27.2 percent on year gain in 2005.

“Investment growth showed visible deceleration, which could be partially attributed to policy tightening in the second half of 2006,” said Liang Hong, an economist in the global investment research division of Goldman Sachs.

“The central bank will likely maintain a tightening bias during the first quarter this year to prevent a rush in bank loan approvals.”

The central bank has stepped up land controls to make project approvals harder to come by, hiked interest rates and raised banks’ reserve requirements to curb credit and cool off an investment boom that has left the country with too much production capacity and idle factories.

Among other economic barometers, inflation last year stood at 1.5 percent, buffeted by a sudden increase of 2.8 percent in December as grain costs surged.

Still, the growth rate in consumer prices was smaller than the 1.8 percent in 2005.

Retail sales jumped 13.7 percent in 2006 to 7.64 trillion yuan, up from the 12.9 percent gain a year earlier as the government cut taxes, raised minimum wages and increased spending to improve education, welfare and health care.

Disposable incomes among the nation’s city dwellers advanced 12.1 percent to 11,759 yuan while those in rural regions climbed 10.2 percent to 3,587 yuan.

Foreign trade jumped 23.8 percent to US$1.76 trillion, yielding a record surplus of US$177.5 billion, up from the US$102 billion in 2005.

Job Search in Overdrive

At the beginning of the New Year, we urged candidates to get their searches started off right. With the New Year comes new hope and the realization that there might be a better job out there. Well, as the first month of 2007 draws to a close, recruiters need to prepare themselves for the onslaught of candidates who are ready to take the necessary steps to find the right position. We¡¯re now in the midst of what is generally the busiest season for recruiters:

¡±We¡¯ve always seen a spike in activity throughout January as people resolve to build a better life in the New Year. But it seems this is compounded by the poor weather and in particular the lack of daylight at this time of year, which contributes to a poor sense of wellbeing. It seems depression is the motivating factor for many a job search: ¡®I¡¯m unhappy = perhaps a new job might make me happy¡¯ seems to be the train of thought.¡± (From Recruiter Magazine)

It¡¯s not just depression that leads quiet and active candidates to move their searches into high gear at this time of year. Bonus structures, vacation time, and advancement opportunities are often determined by where you are and how you¡¯re doing in the early months of the year. So, as things pick up, it¡¯s important for recruiters to communicate with candidates and hiring managers in order to make the right match. It¡¯s also important to realize that you might be inundated with even more resumes than usual, which means you¡¯ll need to spend a little extra time responding to candidates.

For candidates, realize that the market can be a little flooded right now. This doesn¡¯t mean you shouldn¡¯t get involved. It just means you need to be as prepared as you possibly can:

¡±We all know that your resume is key to your job search. January is a great time to make sure it is up-to-date.

¡±Think about your target job, employer, and overall market. Make sure your resume is tailored to the outcome you want. Include industry key words and format your resume according to any industry standards.¡± (From Job Tuition)

Take the time to get your materials in order and to do the research that will help you better understand what specific companies are looking for and what you have to offer them.

As always, good luck to all involved as the job search heats up.

Services Trade With China Boosts US Jobs, Payments

January 23, 2007 — The dramatic expansion of trade and investment in services between China and the United States has benefited both economies substantially and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, according to a new study by Oxford Economics. The study shows that the US could add as many as 240,000 new, high-paying service industry jobs by 2015 as a result of the growing trade with China, in which the United States has a balance of payments advantage.

The study, “The Prospects for US-China Services Trade and Investment,” was released today by the China Business Forum, the educational and research arm of the US-China Business Council (USCBC).

“This study shows that the future benefits are clearly significant for both the US and Chinese economies if China continues to open its service sector to foreign providers,” said John Frisbie, president of the USCBC. “The US is the world’s leading service economy and this is an important area for growth.”

Trade and foreign investment in China’s service sector already benefit both economies, according to the study. The United States has a services trade surplus with China, worth $2.6 billion in 2005. Net US service sector exports and income of service sector investments to China, worth $3.1 billion in 2005, currently support 37,000 jobs in high-productivity sectors of the US economy.

If the pace and scope of China’s service sector reform accelerate, the US services trade surplus with China could increase to around $60 billion by 2015, and extra income from US service-related investments in China would be worth $7 billion. The average US household would be better off by about $500 per year in 2010 as a result of this growth in services trade with China. By 2015, the US benefits would include the 240,000 new service sector jobs.

In the long run, US service sector exports to China could reach between 1.5 percent and 3.5 percent of US GDP. The US service sector trade surplus with China could be worth around 1 percent of US GDP, while inflows of profits from US service sector investments in China could contribute a further 0.5 percent of GDP to the US current account of the balance of payments.

“Our research shows that implementing China’s World Trade Organization commitments is an essential first step to maximizing the advantages for both economies of service sector trade and investment. If China increases the pace and scope of reform in the sector, the benefits will be even more substantial and long-lasting,” said Erik Britton, director of Economics at Oxford Economics and lead author of the study.

If the impediments to service sector growth in China are fully removed, the average Chinese household would be better off by $300 to $400, or RMB 2,300 to RMB 3,100, per year by 2015. The benefit would amount to an additional $138 billion in GDP (in 2006 prices). In this scenario, the growth in service sector trade and investment will add up to 7 million jobs in China in relatively high-paying, high-productivity service industries by 2015.

“As China’s economy shifts toward one based on services, consumption — and possibly imports — may rise. This would provide even more opportunities to US companies selling to China,” USCBC President Frisbie said.

reparing for a group interview

Companies recruiting several people at once such as call centres favour group interviews. It allows many people to be assessed simultaneously while also providing candidates with a look at what the company is all about.

Jacqui Whyatt of the Chandler Macleod Group says group interviews do not follow the traditional question and answer format. Instead, candidates take part in a number of group problem-solving activities.

Often role-playing will be involved with one candidate acting as the angry customer while another plays the staff member applying a solution that the group has come up with. Candidates might be asked to stand up and tell everyone a bit about themselves and why they believe their attributes suit one of the roles on offer.

The best way to prepare is ask for a job description. Spend some time thinking about why your skills and personal attributes would suit that description. Some CareerOne readers have told me companies fobbed them off when they asked questions. Don’t sweat it if that happens; just get on with your research. Read up on the company using its website as a source but also visiting a library to look at newspaper clippings if need be. Rehearse talking about yourself and role-playing with family members. This helps calm nerves and enables you to practice a firm handshake, good eye contact and listening skills as well as speaking clearly and loudly enough for all to hear.

Ms Whyatt said corporate dress is the only way to go even if you know the company has a casual dress code.

China’s 1st OTC market likely to be in Tianjin

CHINA’S first national over-the-counter equity bourse is likely to be set up soon in the northern city of Tianjin as part of moves to build a multi-layer capital sector, industry sources said yesterday.

The establishment of the OTC exchange is now subject to a final nod from the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation’s top economic planner, said people with direct knowledge of the plan.

China’s mainland has two main boards in Shanghai and Shenzhen, a small- and medium-sized enterprise board in Shenzhen as well as an OTC trading system for Beijing-based technology firms.

Analysts believe the OTC bourse, to be sited in the Binhai New Area, a state-backed economic zone, will bolster Tianjin’s lure as a new financial hub apart from Shanghai.

“I guess that’s more or less related to political balance,” said a senior stock analyst in Shanghai. “On the southern coast, we have Shenzhen as a financial center and on the eastern (coast), Shanghai. And now it’s time to have a northern one.”

Tianjin’s OTC market will only be available to institutional investors, the sources said. Companies traded on the bourse can apply to list on the main boards if they meet the listing criteria, sources said.

“The OTC bourse in Tianjin will be open to host all domestic companies that temporarily fail to meet main-board listing requirements,” said a Tianjin-based source.

The sources noted setting up the Tianjin bourse will basically complete moves to create a multi-tier equity market. Big cap firms will list in Shanghai, medium ones in Shenzhen and small firms may trade on the Tianjin OTC market, they said.
