China's Class B sector shows promise
Article Abstract:
China's Class B share companies earnings are showing signs of recovery in 1997, following three years of declining profits. The companies, particularly those in Shanghai and Shenzen, have reported higher earnings after the central bank twice lowered interest rates, input prices fell and there was a general easing of credit controls. Analysts believe the listed companies, barring any major political disturbance, will continue to profit for two to three years.
