Comprehend changing settings

 3E 2008 Spring Energy Roundtable

                                --- Guizhou Building , April 23, 2008        

       While the number '8' and the gold rat have both symbolized a prosperous 2008 -- the glorious Olympic year for China , the opening episode of the year, however, seemed rather unaccorded. A violent snowstorm devastated a half of the country, pushing up CPI index to a record high. The world economic wane and falling dollars are weakening China 's export power. Running wild world oil prices are adding pressures on domestic market operations. Quickly spread inflation and excess liquidity are sending increasing threats to Chinese economy. Meanwhile, environment troubles are drawing growing concerns on the success of the Beijing Olympic Games.

      The combination of the occurrences is posing unprecedented tests to the newly shuffled super-ministerial government. It is in these fundamentally changing settings unfolded the 2008 prospect of Chinese economy and energy. 2008 is destined to be a challenging and unrest year for China .

• How significantly could the snowstorm affect energy demand-supply in China in a short-term and long run?
• What blessing will the Beijing Olympic Games bring to the Chinese energy sector?
• Will Chinese economy and energy sector weather well the global economic downturn, or be strained with impacts?
• Are high global energy prices turning the course of Chinese energy demand?
• What economic and energy policies will the new government conduct in the new context?
• Which direction will the domestic energy pricing be moving with rising inflation?
• Are governmental programs of energy saving, renewable energy and emission reduction materially functioning to contain energy consumption in China ?
• How will environment regulations and implementations evolve in coming stages under the newly established Ministry of Environment Protection?

       3E 2008 Spring Energy Roundtable will open a timely forum for clients to meet and discuss all the issues and concerns with 3E teams. With years of profound research and strategic advice practice, and the most recently developed expertise of China Regional Energy , Long-term Energy Forecasts , China Energy Scenario Planning and Economy-Energy-Environment Sustainability , 3E members will guide the roundtable participants in revisiting the energy fundamentals and accommodating potential changes and implications in business strategies.
