Event Introduction

Drawing from a survey of 137 China-based executives of multinational companies (MNCs) operating in China, KPMG China has released its inaugural MNC China Outlook Report. In the backdrop of increased competition, deepening localisation, and the advancements of digitalisation and AI, the report not only reveals MNCs’ current and medium-term economic growth outlooks, but also the strategic shifts and operational changes that they are undertaking to adapt to a changing market. Some key findings:

•  MNCs are cautious in the short-term, but committed to the long-term

•  MNCs show a more optimistic outlook for the Chinese economy than for the global economy

•  A majority of the MNCs maintained or increased their investment in the Chinese Mainland in 2025, and nearly all of them continue to invest.

Join us on January 13th as Mark Harrison, Partner and Co-head of Multinational Clients at KPMG China, provides deeper insights into the report’s findings.

Agenda

• MNCs’ growth and revenue outlook in the short and medium term, with additional insights based on sector and on the region of the company's HQ.
• MNCs’ investment outlook and details on their recent and future operational changes.
• Open Q&A
