Influenced by the shrinking of external demands and the strategic adjustment of economic structure, China's fixed asset investment growth rate dropped in 2011. The size of investment market raised steadily, but investors became less active; the real estate market and securities markets cooled down, and the private equity, trust, bank financial management and art markets were growing hot; investment return rate was lowered, and the short-term fixed-income products were sought after. Looking forwards to 2012, as it is difficult for the macroeconomic environment to improve substantively, the fixed asset investment growth is expected to continue declining steadily. The expension of the investment market would remain slow, and investors are likely to become even less active; the real estate market will be difficult to rebound, the private equity market will cool down, trust products will still be the focus of investors' attention, financial products launched by banks will still be an important choice for investors, and the stock market will pick up to some extent. <<
