The outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, has now been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization. The virus has already spread to the extent that it will have have a negative impact on China's economy.

The Economist Intelligence Unit plans to revise its baseline forecast for China’s real GDP growth in 2020 to 5.4%, from 5.9% currently—and now poses a risk to the global economic outlook. 

Join Imogen Page-Jarrett and Dan Wang, members of the Access China team, and Tom Rafferty, Principal Economist for China, on Wednesday 12 February at 9:30am UK time (5:30pm China Standard Time) as they discuss: 

  • The current and unfolding situation
  • Four scenarios for China's economic growth in 2020
  • Industry-specific impact
  • Key issues for business continuity and strategy
