王雷（Rani Jarkas）：“一带一路”倡议将在未来十年内对矿业产生巨大影响 赛德思投资董事长 王雷（Rani Jarkas）

The Belt and Road Initiative will have a major impact on the mining industry over the next 10 years
Citigroup Inc. reported the Belt and Road Initiative is backed by about US$900 billion
worth of investments and has the potential to generate about 120
million tons of crude steel demand. This number is more optimistic to 150
million tons according to BHP published report in 2017.
Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, also commented during an interview
by CNBC
that the Belt and Road Initiative now is at the initial stage and has
been starting to bring a huge demand boost for steel and iron ore.
This represents a great
opportunity for international businesses to supply, support and partner with
Chinese and other international mining companies as this massive development
takes shape. For example, Australian
mining businesses have experience, expertise and technology garnered from their
mining industry across a very large country will prove valuable mining projects
along the BRI.

CEDRUS INVESTMENTS’ CHAIRMAN MR. RANI JARKAS INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE 121 OIL & GAS INVESTMENT CONFERENCE IN HONG KONG ON THE BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE
The
Chairman of Cedrus Investments (“Cedrus”), Mr. Rani Jarkas, is invited to speak
at the 121 Oil & Gas Investment conference to be held on 2nd – 3rd May 2018
in Hong Kong. The event has been served as a platform for leading energy
companies and sophisticated investors worldwide to network and interact, thus
potentially creating more investment and development opportunities for all
participants alike.
Mr. RaniJarkas will be sharing with executives of participating oil & gas companies
as well as elite investors his thoughts on investment opportunities pertaining
to China’s Belt and Road initiative, aiming at exploiting new regional focuses
in addition to broader markets where oil & gas companies and investors
could collaborate to incentivize further growth in the oil & gas industry
overall.
Mr. RaniJarkas said, “The Belt and Road Initiative direct oil & gas companies and
investors to a new geographical area for investment and helps form a link among
countries in the region based on oil & gas development. Through the combination
of incoming capital and technology with local resources, vast investment
opportunities could be created to invigorate and further upgrade the oil &
gas industry in that area, and likely bring considerable financial benefits to
involved companies and investors, especially when many countries along the
ancient Silk Road routes are abundant with oil and gas reserves. What Cedrus
has been doing is to assist industry participants to identify the potentially
most-rewarding investment opportunities based on our local knowledge and
network accumulated through continued involvement in projects in Belt and Road
countries as well as our deep industry expertise.”

CEDRUS INVESTMENTS’ CHAIRMAN MR. RANI JARKAS IS INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE HONG KONG BIOTECH INVEST AND PARTNERING 2018
HONG KONG, 13th February, 2018 – The Chairman of Cedrus Investments (“Cedrus”), Mr. Rani Jarkas, is invited as the keynote speaker at the Asian Investment Series of the Hong Kong Biotech Invest & Partnering 2018 conference to be held on 13th March 2018 in Hong Kong. Cedrus has been participating and speaking at this annual event in Hong Kong organized by AusBiotech (Australia’s biotechnology organization) since its inception in 2013 to foster investments in the life sciences industry across borders. In recent years, the Asian Investment Series have expanded further to holding an annual conference in Shanghai which is one of the hubs of life sciences investments in Asia. These conferences have brought together hundreds of Australian life sciences companies together with Hong Kong and Chinese life sciences investors where opportunities of cross-border collaborations are explored, for instance, to tap into the world’s second-largest biopharma market – China.
Mr. Rani Jarkas will be sharing his extensive experience and profound insights, as well as Cedrus’ expertise in life sciences investment and explaining why overseas life sciences companies should be using Hong Kong as the gateway for establishing their presence in Mainland China through joint ventures, licensing partnerships, strategic alliances or other initiatives onshore.
Mr. Rani Jarkas said, “China is now committed to transforming the domestic life sciences industry into a global leader. For example, in recent years, we have seen growing interest from Chinese enterprises and investors to acquire life sciences technologies and products overseas to enhance China’s market position, and the increased desire of Australian life science companies to build a local presence in China. In this regard, Cedrus has competitive advantages. Through facilitating various deals, Cedrus has accumulated a lot of expertise and valuable experience in cross-border transactions and collaborations. We fully understand the potential sensitivity issues, apparent and hidden, involved in life sciences transactions across borders; hence, we can likely prevent companies from entering into unfavorable collaborations long term. In addition, we understand how to protect the companies’ assets such as intellectual properties, monetize their assets and maximize value, coupled with helping them to achieve their financial and business targets while minimizing business risks.”

Rani Jarkas: China’s outbound M&As surge in both volume and value
In the first half of 2016, the volume of cross-border mergers and
acquisitions led by Chinese buyers reached $149.2 billion, exceeding the
total volume in 2015. The amount accounted for 23 percent of the total volume of
global cross-border M&A, up from 6 percent in the same period last year,
according to Tian Guoli, chairman of Bank of
China on at the Bank of China - Bloomberg
Global M&A Summit.
Smooth financing channels in capital markets and fast-growing financial investors are the main reasons for the significant increase in 2016.
Mature markets such as Europe and North America continued to be the main destinations for Chinese buyers of sophisticated technology, advanced management experience and well-known brands. Asia was also popular among investors because of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Also, for the first time, privately-owned enterprises surpassed state-owned enterprises in transaction value, accounting for half of the total over the first three quarters of 2016.
Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, a boutique investment firm with years of experience in Greater China region, said “The expansion from trade finance to acquisition finance will provide a strategic opportunity for development of the Chinese financial sector. It has accelerated the transformation of China’s financial industry.”

Rani Jarkas: China’s reform bid shows positive economic signs
China has been
striving to cut red tape and make life easier for private
companies. This triggered a boom in the registration of private firms --
over 2.6 million were created in the first half, more than in the whole of 2013.
In 2016, China's economy is witnessing some other positive changes, notably better structure and different growth pace in its traditional and new sectors.
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported last week that profits of China's major industrial firms rose 6.2 percent year on year in H1, narrowing from a 6.4-percent rise registered in the first five months. China's GDP expanded 6.7 percent in Q2, the lowest growth rate since the global financial crisis in early 2009.
"The quality of China's economic activity is improving, and positive factors are increasing," according to NBS spokesperson Sheng Laiyun.
Zuo Xiaolei, an economist with China Galaxy Securities, said a slowing Chinese economy needs new growth engines, but eliminating overcapacity and nurturing new impetus need time.
Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, an investment pioneer with years of financial experience in Asia, said, “China has sought to raise the quality and efficiency of growth and substitute traditional drivers with new forces. These reforms will offer meaningful solutions to China's economic woes and bring the economy onto a more solid footing.”

Rani Jarkas: China eases foreign investment rules in free trade zones
The first free trade zone in Shanghai was
founded in September 2013, followed by the establishment of three new pilot
zones last year, namely Tianjin Municipality, Fujian Province and
Guangdong
Province.
The four pilot free trade zones are now spearheading structural reforms to make it easier to start businesses and grant foreign firms more access, temporarily allowing foreign investors to found wholly-owned enterprises in a number of fields, including iron and steel production and gas station operations, according to the State Council early this week.
More than 20 of the total 51 adjustments involve changes from administrative approval to managerial registration for foreign investment. Also, the wholly foreign owned enterprises are not just limited to service sector but expanding to other sectors, ranging from agriculture to transportation.
In particular, international investors in the Shanghai free trade zone can participate in spot trading of commodities ranging from iron ore and non-ferrous metals to cotton. Zone authorities are expected to allow Chinese households to invest in offshore capital markets in the near future.
Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, an investment pioneer with years of financial experience in Asia, said, “Loosened controls on capital and widened access have led to a surge in cross-border transactions in these zones. We expect to see a continuous boom as the reform further develops.”

Rani Jarkas: RMB becomes widely accepted in cross-border transactions
Last year, the IMF decided to add yuan into its Special
Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket, making it one of the five reserve
currencies fully endorsed by the 188-member organization.
Chinese currency is increasingly being accepted in cross-border transactions, as the currency gains increased global recognition. IMF data showed that $94 billion of official assets were already held in renminbi at the end of 2014, accounting for 1.1 percent of global foreign exchange reserves.
According to report from the People's Bank of China, the volume of cross-border renminbi receipts and payment in 2015 reached 12.1 trillion yuan ($1.83 trillion), accounting for 28.7% of the total volume of cross-border receipts and payments.
China has aggressively promoted global use of the renminbi, as the world's largest trading nation looks to lower transaction costs in international trade, which currently is mostly settled in US dollars.
PBOC declared that by the end of 2015, yuan had become the third most-used currency in cross-border trade and financing. It took fifth place among all currencies for use in international payments and foreign exchange trading. And the currency looks set to take up a greater share of global reserve currency assets.
Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, an investment pioneer with years of financial experience in Asia, said, “I believe that yuan will become a major currency and one of the most important in cross-border current account trading, and overseas investors will enjoy wider access to yuan-denominated investment and financing products.”

Rani Jarkas: Chinese buyers target insurance companies for overseas acquisition
Chinese companies have been on an outbound acquisition spree
for the last few years, covering real estate, hotels, movie studios, healthcare, soccer clubs,
chemicals and high-end technology.
Now, Chinese buyers looking for overseas acquisitions are
now adding a new item to their list of potential takeover targets, insurance companies. The Wall Street
Journal reported early this week that three leading bidders for
Singapore-based Asia Capital
Reinsurance Group Pte Ltd all obtained capital support from China.
China announced a
record $92 billion of overseas mergers and
acquisitions deals from January to March this year, accounting for 30
percent of the world's total. Within these M&A
cases, there are seven overseas insurance deals, with total value of US$1.86
billion. Prior to 2014, the insurance sector went several years without years.
According to Thomson
Reuters data, Chinese outbound M&A
activity has more than doubled in two years, hitting a record $120 billion in
total deal value so far in 2016.
In particular, private companies
will continue to be an increasingly important force in overseas mergers and
acquisitions as they are more nimble in their decision making compared with
SOEs.
Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, an investment
pioneer with years of experience around the globe, said, “There has been a huge
amount of overseas investment by Chinese companies over the past 15 years and
we expect to see more in a wider range of industries for the forthcoming
years.”

今年一月到三月间，中国海外并购交易总价值达到920亿美元，占到全球总额的30%。今年以来中国买家已经宣布了七项收购海外保险公司的交易，其总价值达到了18.6亿美元。在2014年以前，保险行业中则有好几年都没有出现过这种交易。

Rani Jarkas: China encourages private investments
As a vital force to China’s economy, private fixed-asset
investment accounts for more than 60 percent of the country's total investment.
However, the first half of 2016 witnessed a record low growth momentum of
investment by private enterprises, with growth sliding to 2.8 percent from
11.4% last year.
Premier Li Keqiang addressed to senior officials of some provinces and State Council departments last week, indicating that private and semi-public businesses should be encouraged to invest in the key projects to be launched during China's 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020), such as education, medical care, elderly care and other service sectors, as well as to infrastructure.
Li also reassured the interests and legitimate rights of investors should be protected. In particular, innovation in Public-Private-Partnership financing mode should be promoted.
A continued slump in private investment growth could spoil the country's efforts to maintain economic growth within the targeted range — 6.5 to 7 percent for the year — and to optimize the economic structure in coming years.

consumption and creating jobs.”
