On August 17 2021, Chinese President Xi Jinping highlighted the concept "Common Prosperity" which aims at narrowing the widening wealth gap and means an increased focus on the emerging Chinese middle class.

One of the concept's consequences is the refocusing of corporate China's priorities to the domestic market which becomes more essential in this moment of its economic trajectory. The Common Prosperity goal may speed China's economic rebalancing towards consumption driven growth to reduce reliance on exports and investment. And what are the repercussions for the Swiss economy?

Let's join the Round Table with professionals to examine issues related to Swiss finance, logistic and luxury sectors.
