China’s enterprises outbound investment forum of CM2015 held in Tianjin
On October 20, China’s enterprises outbound investment forum of CHINA MINING 2015 was held in Tianjin. Representatives present at the conference focused on two issues. The first one was that with the continued downturn of the global mining industry, overseas mining investment is or not a period of strategic opportunity. And the second issue was that where the key points of overseas investment locates.
Representatives present at the conference believed that mining industry has entered into the era of loss, which is a hard time for the development of mining enterprises. From the perspective of invest, commodity prices are low and most of the mineral assets shrink. For example, western mining companies assets fell 60% in five years and China`s mining enterprise assets fell 80% and are experiencing difficulties. These may mark that the mining industry is hitting bottom, but it is not certain that it is the best period for enterprises to merger mine assets.
Some experts pointed out that during the recent 10 years, more and more Chinese mining enterprises invest in overseas, gaining experiences and learning lessons. Lessons from failure included bad timing, wrong target selection and inaccurate value judgment. According to representatives present at the conference, experiences gained from investing overseas included that enterprises should operate honestly with the concept of brand-oriented and keep a good public relations with partner countries, choose the correct development strategy and positioning, strengthen risk control, attach great importance to the performance of the corporate social responsibility and participate in local public welfare undertakings and so on.
