2023 China Business Climate Survey Report, AmCham China, Mar 2, 2023.

The 25th annual China Business Climate Survey (BCS) Report revealed that while AmCham China members still see China as a priority market, their willingness to increase investment and strategic priority is declining.

After three full years dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, members expressed concern about their companies’ financial performance and expectations regarding China’s openness and business climate, contributing to a slightly more pessimistic outlook compared to previous years. Estimated performance results for 2022 showed a decline in the portion of member companies that saw increased revenue, profitability, and Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) margins compared to a specific previous year, largely due to COVID-19.

This is the 25th consecutive year that AmCham China has surveyed its members on China’s business climate, with the results providing insightful insight into the longer-term trajectory of China’s corporate environment. The BCS results represent around half of the Chamber’s member companies and highlight the impact of COVID-19, regulatory developments, and US-China tensions on member companies.

《中国商务环境调查报告》第25卷显示,尽管中国美国商会会员仍将中国视为优先市场,但其增加投资、提升战略优先级别的意愿正在下降。

在经历了COVID-19疫情主导的三年后,会员对于公司的财务表现以及对中国市场开放程度和商业环境的期望表示担忧,相较于以往年份略显悲观。对2022年公司表现的预测结果显示,营收、利润以及息税前利润(EBIT)较上一年度有所增涨的会员公司数量有所下降,这主要是由于COVID-19所致。

这是中国美国商会连续第25年对中国的商业环境进行调查,调查结果为我们提供了关于中国企业环境长期轨迹的深刻见解。商务环境调查结果代表了该商会约一半的会员公司,并凸显了COVID-19、监管发展和中美紧张关系对会员公司的影响。
