Chinese Consumers: Confidence in the Crisis?
Jul 23, 2009 By eChinacities.com

Guest Speaker:
Chris Morley, Managing Director, The Nielsen Company China


This event will be of interest to the general membership and to senior managers involved in fast moving consumer goods, retail, and advertising looking to gain a greater understanding of Chinese consumers, especially during the economic downturn. With many economies around the world still reeling from the effects of the financial crisis, China's consumer markets seem to be faring better than most. But are Chinese customers really confident in the state of the economy? And how will their views impact on their spending and ultimately on your business?
Join Nielsen's Chris Morley as he introduces the global market research company's recent consumer confidence survey and provides a gauge of how Chinese consumers feel on hot topic issues such as job security, personal finance and the strength of China's economy. Chris will introduce Chinese consumers' top concerns and how these are affecting their spending while comparing the data to other economies around the world. He will also take a closer look at the impact on consumers' confidence in different tier cities in China and the related retail sales trends.
