Adjusting to the 'new normal' era

Editor's note: The annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference ended with a call for widespread adaptation of the "new normal" economy across all sectors, including those closely related to activities involving international companies operating in China.

The nation's GDP growth target for 2015 has been lowered to about 7 percent in accordance with this "new normal" pace of expansion, which officials said will be achieved using a mix of policies including risk reduction and economic rebalancing.

China Daily asked a cross-section of senior executives from a variety of multinational companies with operations in China to offer their thoughts on the "new normal" economy and the plans for structural reform. And against that backdrop, we asked how they view their own business prospects in China in the coming year, and whether they are viewing it differently in terms of investment.
