BPO is among the best type of investments in China in 2008
It seems as though everyone is investing in China. During the past few years, every type of investment in the country — including private equity and venture capital — has exploded. At first, investment tended to focus on the technology sector; today’s investments are in everything from real estate to infrastructure. In a keynote speech at this year’s China Economic Forum, Lari, managing director of the Sino-US Ventures, noted that online services, business process outsourcing and mobile value-added services will be the top three investment areas in 2008. While the bulk of the investments are still in the IT and IT-enabled services sector, health care is beginning to pick up and opportunities are often regional:Beijing and Nanjing for IT, Shanghai for media, Xi’an for manufacturing, and Dalian and Nanjing for business process and knowledge process outsourcing.
