Mr. Zhang, Hsiao-Chiang expressed during the conference of 'The Round Table of China and Foreign CEOs', that during the 30 yrs of outwardly addressed revolutionary and reformed policies, it has been tabulated that foreign investmnts stood at 1.06 Billion US$, exploitable funds was 3,400 Billion US$. Mr. Zhang encouraged foreign investors to change focus and aim directly at Central West China and to increase their amount of capital funds. Also. foreign companies are encouraged to start/set up their own Research and Development research and monitoring programmes so as to create an even freer and more open environ. The methods such as investment capital for buy shares imputs, or a combination of both activities are most welcome and seriously considered by Inland realm's enterprises (while under re-organization) for mergers and acquisitions purposes.

On the front of China's investments into foreign realms, Mr. Zhang introduced that in 7 years China has increasd 7.4 folds funds which reached a total of 2,500 Billion US$; On funds which are non-financial (cos and instruments) oriented in 2009, the sums were (premier within China) 480 Billion US$, occupying 5% of global total. China plans to follow not only by lawful means, but with a view to make healthy and strong all foreign investmnts by giving guiding/aiding and planning systems to start all necessary structural and related organisations to help with this and to assist/expand enterptises to the point of "walking tall".

'China Industries and Trusts' vice Chairman Mr. Li, Yi-Tsung also stressed that China will continue to make better her investments environ. The measures taken for this improvement will be to reduce restrictions on:
Foreign concerns registered in China --more freedom to create self determination
Entry into markets
National Governments' explorations and purchasing into
Knowledge (and) on producing rights -- will enjoy equal status/rights as with Nat'l Chines enterprises.

Time to buy more WCC for long term because foreign cos can now make a move on it and help China develop the Western Frontier!"

Hope so. Another blue day tomorrow and the chart will be looking good. Will be interesting to see in IMS puts the blocker on this or if it gains more momentum

[krutt] 03/11/2010 13:17

Hopefully we have started a decent upturn in the share price. Long may it continue!

[audigger] 28/10/2010 08:58

I wonder what the IMS may bring? Is this part of the CRH schedule of updates or is it unexpected news? Perhaps an acquisition?

Shares in CRH fell 34c to E12.40. Latest data for the value of transportation construction put-in-place in the US in August shows highway construction declined by almost 14pc year-on-year (yoy), leaving the year-to-date spend down 10pc, according to Davy Research. This is despite the availability of almost USD20bn in funds from President Obama's stimulus package. The value of bridge construction rose by 33pc to USD2.9bn in the month with only a small amount of bridge funds being obligated. In the year-to-date, bridge construction is up 2.8pc. Combined, highway and bridge construction was down 2.4pc annually in August.
