This session, led by Alfredo Montufar-Helu, Beijing Director, Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, focused on the Natural Resources sector and was designed to strengthen the ability of Canadian businesses to assess risks and opportunities with regards China\u2019s 14<sup>th<\/sup> Five Year Plan (FYP) to improve their competitiveness in the China market. After an overview of China\u2019s economic reality and the Canada-China economic relationship, Mr. Montufar-Helu provided a comprehensive Natural Resources sectoral analysis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The link to the video presentation is available upon request.

For example, forestry industry stakeholders should take note of both the overall the 14th FYP and two associated sub-plans \u2013 the <em>14th FYP on the Conservation and Development of Forestry and Grassland <\/em>and the <em>Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Key development priorities drawn from these policy directives include a push to improve forestry conservation and China\u2019s carbon sink capacity. China\u2019s consumption of various wood types, pulp, and wood-pulp rely heavily on imports \u2013 which Canada produces and exports en masse. China\u2019s commercial logging ban and Russia\u2019s 2021 decision to ban the export of raw lumber also provides a new opportunity for Canada to fill demand\/expand exports.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are also opportunities abound in China with regards to natural resources and energy, including plans to \u201cattract foreign companies and research institutions to build factories and establish R&amp;D centres.\u201d Further, there is a plan to promote\/invest in energy conservation and environment protection, which could provide opportunities for foreign firms via \u201ctax breaks, low-cost lending and government procurement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On balance, the China market remains enticing, but the operating landscape has become more challenging, says Mr. Montufar-Helu. Foreign firms, including those from Canada, should stay attuned to the development process, prepare for shifts in demand, and align their corporate strategy to China\u2019s development process to achieve success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Registration was $25+HST for CCBC members, $50+HST for non-members.
