彭博經濟學家:亞洲零售預測顯示中國仍將是最大市場

China was the most promising consumer market in Asia in 2015, and will probably remain so in the next four years, according to a Bloomberg report released Thursday.

據彭博社上週四公佈的一份報告指出，在2015年，中國是亞洲最具潛力的消費市場，並在未來四年仍內將可能如此。

"Even as China's economy slows and its population ages, it appears set to remain the most attractive Asian market for retailers in the years ahead," said Bloomberg economists in "Insight: Asia retail forecasts show China market to stay No. 1."

彭博社經濟學家在《洞察：亞洲零售預測顯示中國市場居首》中表示：“即使經濟增速放緩以及人口老齡化，但是中國仍然會在幾年內保持對零售商最有吸引力的亞洲市場地位，”

"Asian consumers have shifted from bit-part players in the drama of global demand to a leading role," the report said.

該報告指出：“亞洲消費者已經從跑龍套轉變爲全球需求的主導角色。”

China's economy expanded 6.7 percent year on year in the first quarter of 2016, slowing further from the previous quarter but better than many had feared. And foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Chinese mainland continued to rise in the first four months of this year. FDI, which excludes investment in the financial sector, rose 4.8 percent year on year to 286.78 billion yuan (45.3 billion U.S. dollars) in the January-April period.
