China Economic Scan Goes Live - Delivers Daily Economic Updates

April 8, 2009 - PRLog -- China Economic Scan marked it's official launch on Wednesday as a global provider of daily updates on the Chinese economy.

The daily China Economic Scan is a free service that delivers, via email, a summary of the top 5 headlines from around the world that focus on the Chinese economy. The updates focus on drawing out the key facts of each article, allowing people to quickly get up to date with what’s going on in the world’s 3rd largest economy.

Managing Director Callum Thomas said “the point of difference is that it’s not just a machine preparing it, there’s a person using judgment, someone asking ‘is this article really relevant?’ so not only do you ensure relevancy but you also have it tying into previous reports and you get extra research that really adds value”.

Thomas said “we have spent the last 2 weeks building the website and testing the daily update service, and so far have had a lot of interest and very positive feedback about it.”

On the Chinese economy Thomas said, “China is a natural place to focus on at this time; when the World Bank is forecasting negative growth in 2009 for most major economies and 6.5% for China, you have to pay attention”.

Acknowledging the challenging operating environment Thomas said, “sure it’s a hard time to start a business, but I feel this is an important service – in times of uncertainty the value of quality data and research is high, you still need to make decisions, so you need good information feeding into that decision making”.

People can sign up to the China Economic Scan for free by visiting the website at http://www.chinaeconomicscan.com

On the future of the business, Thomas noted; “the China Economic Scan is the main focus of the business for now, however preliminary work is going on in developing a pure financial market focused update, with richer data and analysis, aimed at investors and financial market professionals”.
