About this webinar:

Are you looking to successfully start, expand or grow your UK business in Singapore?

Singapore is a wealthy city-state and is the leading financial, shipping and trade hub for the Asia Pacific region. For UK SMEs, Singapore is one of the easiest places in the world to start, run and do business (World Bank, 2019) as both economies have similar business & legal practices and share similar technical standards.

Chinese investment in UK: growth continues in H1 2021

Chinese investors continue to make a significant contribution to the UK economy in the first half of 2021. Simon Bevan and Ian Zhu look at the deals and trends you need to know about. The number of Chinese investments in the UK during H1 2021 reached pre-COVID-19 levels, showing a healthy rebound in deal activity with a 44% increase year-on-year. Deal value for the period has plummeted by 68% to £1441 million, but this is due to one exceptionally high-value deal in H1 2020: Chinese Resources Group’s £4.2 billion acquisition of UK recycling business Viridor — the biggest deal of the year.
