Fast Market Research recommends "China Infrastructure Report Q3 2011" from Business Monitor International, now available
 
May 25, 2011 - PRLog -- BMI View: China's 12th Five Year Plan, announced by Premier Wen Jiabao, contained few surprises. The bulk of the targets set out for different industries have already been leaked over previous months, and as such, the official announcement does not prompt any change to our view. If anything, the government's economic strategy as laid out in the new plan justifies BMI's expectation that there will be an unwinding of fixed asset investments in the coming years, which in part, will be led by a moderation in spending on economic infrastructure. The government is clamping down on big lending as part of monetary tightening, which in turn creates problems for the construction sector, which relies heavily on debt from the state-owned banks.

Key themes for China's infrastructure sector this quarter include:

* China surprised the energy industry with the announcement that it is suspending approvals for new nuclear power plants until a full safety review of plans is completed in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident.
 * We have become increasingly concerned that the government's high-speed railway spending plans are unsustainable in light of massive debt liabilities of the Ministry of Railways and monetary tightening.
 * Consequently we have revised forecast ratios between transport and energy and now see energy and utilities rising to contribute the majority of value to China's infrastructure industry in the coming years.
 * In the housing sector, the government has pledged the construction of another 50mn low cost housing units. While this will drive construction, the plan remains opaque in terms of allocations to central and state governments and implementation.

China offers scale, measured in terms of total construction industry value, and high levels of growth, combined with high levels of capital investment as a percentage of GDP. The combination of these three factors plays strongly in China's favour in our Infrastructure Business Environment Ratings. However, the strength of its infrastructure market often masks the high barriers to entry, the opaque regulatory and legal framework and the uncompetitive environment, which have shaved points from the country's overall ratings and this quarter we have revised down the component scores in these categories. In BMI's Infrastructure Business Environment Ratings China receives a score of 65 out of 100, its strong infrastructure market propelling it to near the top of the regional table.
