« We have observed a certain diversification away from the US dollar in the portfolios of Chinese investors », while their interest in other markets, especially in Europe, has increased, said Lillian Tao, head of the China Macro and Global Emerging Markets Sales.
European government bonds of high quality, Japanese government bonds and gold are probably the potential alternatives for investors to government bonds, she said, and spoke of the investments of Chinese business customers in overseas strengths.

In view of the increasing volatility, more and more Chinese customers began to deal with German federal bonds, Spain or Italy, which they had not previously paid much attention, ”said Tao.
Due to the approval of Germany, the prospects for the European markets have improved to a pioneering spending package and the scope for further interest rate reductions by the European Central Bank.
« In view of the macroeconomic factors, it is time for Chinese investors to shift their investments to the countries in which they can invest better, » said Tao.
