CASMETC: Expanding Trade Frontiers With CASMETC

y12_q2_a6_img1

It is no secret that China has been long identified as a rising economic superpower by academics and experts. It has large current account surpluses, a small budget deficit and solid growth. As one of the best global equity market performers in the world, it continues to show the potential for further growth in the years ahead on the back of healthy fundamental performance.

Since the free trade area among China and ASEAN countries came into effect in 2010, economic cooperation between both sides has never been more dynamic and fruitful. China has become ASEAN’s largest trading partner and ASEAN remains China’s third largest trading partner with an average annual growth rate of more than 20 percent. Driven by soaring market demand, the value of trade between China and ASEAN countries is expected to exceed 500 billion USD by 2015.

With China serving as an engine of economic growth that helps spur the development of the entire region, it comes as no surprise that many companies are seeking to enter the Chinese market directly. In order to do this, investors will need in-depth business management knowledge, China market expertise and strong financial strength.

In facilitating business owners to enjoy smooth entry into the Chinese market, Low Yat Group introduces its latest overseas development in China, the China-Asean SME Trade Centre (CASMETC), that offers various incentives and privileges for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). CASMETC serves as a one-stop centre for SMEs seeking to invest and set up manufacturing concerns in China while helping to promote their products, commodities and services. With the help of CASMETC, SMEs can find their footing and explore the Chinese market confidently.

The first phase of CASMETC, spanning an area of 336,835 sq. ft. and valued at RM320 million, consists of 7 blocks with 213 units of retail, F&B, commercial and office space built on a gross floor area of 412,699 sq. ft. Besides boosting the economy and improving standards of living, the development of CASMETC aims to bring synergy as well as a vibrant, yet familiar South East Asia flavor to the thriving metropolis of Changshu and its surrounding areas.

Changshu City, The Vibrant Economic Hub

CASMETC is strategically located in the historically and culturally famous city renowned for its prosperity, Changshu, which location plays a significant role in the assured success of this innovative development. By means of prosperity, Changshu’s GDP reached 84 billion ringgit recently, ranking among the top 10 countries within China.

The city falls inder the Changshu Southeast Economic Zone (CSDZ) which benefits from attractive preferential policies from the Chinese Government and has become the pulsing heart of China’s largest metropolitan hub in Jiangsu province. More that 2,000 foreign enterprises have invested in Changshu including big names such as Toyota, Continental AG and Delphi Corporation and the city ranks among the Top 3 in Comprehensive Competitiveness among country-level cities for the past 20 years.

For SMEs looking to expand their business horizons in a booming economic scene of China, CASMETC essentially offers more business opportunities, encourage intra-regional exports and investment; and promotes tourism, education and cultural exchange. This forward-thinking project signals the myriad opportunities that await the ASEAN businessmen with interest in the Chinese market such as:
