| Asian Financial Forum Advisor Ronnie Chan Tips Retail and Properties |
HONG KONG, Dec 22, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - Retail, property and the service industries are part of a long list of good investment opportunities on the Chinese mainland, according to Hong Kong-based Hang Lung Group Chairman Ronnie Chan.
Mr Chan, a businessman with a wealth of experience on the mainland, also said that health care, energy and green technology were solid options. "My family is investing in a lot of those things, so that tells you something," he said in an interview with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) webcast service. "So I think the opportunities are great, and my company and others are benefiting."
Mr Chan's remarks can be viewed online at www.youtube.com/hktdc.
An honorary advisor to the upcoming Asian Financial Forum (AFF), Mr Chan also said he sees business related to China's currency becoming increasingly critical to Hong Kong's financial future.
"I think it's probably fair to say that the renminbi will become more important in the international scene in the coming years and decades. I think Hong Kong is the most usable place, if you will, to help the renminbi transit into an even more significant international currency."
