Investec Wealth & Investment: Chinese Party Congress Weekly Digest

Welcome to this week's edition of Weekly Digest; a topical in-house review of world stock markets and the global economy.

Even amidst the busiest period for company reporting in Europe and America, the most important event scheduled for this week is the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. This forum meets only once every five years to appoint China’s leadership.

"If previous form is followed, at the closing ceremony on Wednesday the congress will conclude with a highly choreographed ceremony in which the most powerful men in China, the newly appointed Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), will file out on stage behind the General Secretary (Xi Jinping) to be presented to the world for the first time."
