China's Plans to Rein in Its Overheated Economy Will Have Little Impact on the IT Industry, According to IDC

Singapore, 21 June, 2004 Chinas economy has seen rapid growth over the past ten years, reaching its peak in 2003 at 9.1%. However, recent signs of over-investment in some industries have led the Chinese government to announce a series of macro-economic policy changes aimed at regulating China's soaring economy. IDC maintains that these policy shifts may be able to contain the growth explosion in some industries, but their impact on IT spending in China will remain minimal.
Ken Xie, General Manager and Chief Analyst in IDC China says, "The real estate sector and selected manufacturing industries such as steel, electro-lytic aluminium and concrete, will be most affected by these government regulations. However, as a whole, these industries account for only a small proportion of the total IT spending in China. A slow down in capital investments in these industries is therefore unlikely to cause a decline in IT infrastructure investments.

Private Equity Fund Of Funds As China continues to move towards a market-driven economy, which emphasizes profits and returns on investments, IT has been largely regarded as the catalyst that will help lead the economy forward. "China's flourishing private sector associates investments in IT with increases in productivity and international competitiveness, and this will help to drive investments in IT and increase overall IT spending. This is also in line with the governments objective of accelerating industrialization with information technology," added Mr. Xie.

During IDC's annual Directions conference in April this year, IDC predicted that China's IT market would continue its robust growth in 2004 and well into 2008 at a compound annual growth rate of 15%, doubling from US$25 billion to US$50.8 billion in 2008. This will be driven by IT spending in the government, education, manufacturing and retail industries, which will experience higher than average growth rates.
