Buying Chinese assets reflects foreign investors\u2019 pursuit of returns and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The confidence of foreign investors has been given a further boost by the government\u2019s economic policies and reform measures.<\/p>\n<p>A series of cross-cycle adjustments introduced in 2021 were conducive to improving the stability of economic growth, and new measures in science and technology could raise total factor productivity, said Zhu Chaoping, a global market strategist with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, adding that China is expected to maintain a higher long-term potential growth rate than other economies.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign investment has also been fueled by China\u2019s continued opening-up of the financial market. The three major global index providers \u2014 Bloomberg, JPMorgan and FTSE Russell \u2014 have added Chinese government bonds to their flagship indexes, which helped drive a significant influx of capital to the country\u2019s bond market.<\/p>\n<p>China is currently the world\u2019s second-largest bond market, with a market size of above 120 trillion yuan, data showed.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts at some international financial institutions forecast overseas demand for Chinese bonds will remain strong in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>At the tone-setting Central Economic Work Conference held last month, Chinese leaders stressed \u201cstability\u201d as the top priority for the nation\u2019s economic policies, which boosted foreign investors\u2019 confidence in investing in the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p>The conference helped investors see the stability and predictability of Chinese economic policies and to a large extent soothed their concerns, said Song Yu, chief China economist of BlackRock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTreasury bonds will continue to be the most mainstream option for foreign investors, who will also favor industries with high growth and those conforming to green development,\u201d said Zhou Hao.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s economy is expected to maintain steady growth due to sound epidemic prevention and control measures, a large domestic market and precise and timely cross-cycle adjustment policies, said Jiang Xianwei, an analyst at the China International Fund Management Co.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country will remain an indispensable investment destination for foreign institutions,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
