    Asia Pacific Banking and Financial Services Sector Monitor


    The combination of challenging market conditions as well as increased regulatory requirements and restrictions has raised concerns about the banking sector’s longer-term profitability and growth prospects in Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific regional economy continued to experience a slowdown in the midst of a volatile global environment. Global trade, while improving, remains historically weak and as a consequence, economic growth amongst many of the region’s export driven economies is decelerating. While signs of slowdown have also emerged in growth markets, overall economic activity has remained relatively robust.

    Cost Of “Made In China”


    The share of global manufacturing output from developing countries has risen from 20% in 2000 to over 33% in 2011. China now accounts for a fifth of all global manufacturing. However, China has witnessed soaring labour costs, taxes and land prices over the past few years, which are pushing companies to question China as a cost efficient location for manufacturing production. That said, China’s high costs are generally offset by the availability of a reliable supply chain, high-quality infrastructure, sophisticated market and overall ease of business, particularly when compared to the conditions of other Asian markets. The key for China is to move up the value chain of manufacturing. By doing so China will retain its competitive advantage within the Asian markets as well as sustaining its prominence as Asia’s manufacturing hub.
