The development of the digital RMB will bring investment opportunities for the private sector, according to experts interviewed by Yicai. Following the PBOC's recent meeting on digital currency, experts expect growth in the software and hardware infrastructure industry, and said investors should focus on quality financial IT and equipment enterprises. Tech companies specialising in data security and encryption will also benefit, according to Yicai.
China will increase knowledge-intensive services exports and promote digital trade, according to Liu Xiangdong, vice minister at the China Centre for International Economic Exchange. In an interview with Securities Daily, Liu said services trade is normalising, as imports rebound faster than exports due to outbound travel service imports recovering quickly. He noted the export of knowledge intensive services reached CNY243.85 billion over Jan-Feb, an increase of 11% y/y, with fast growth in insurance (38%) and financial services (19.1%).
