Heavy withdrawal in China’s stock market

stock market ; Mass withdrawals from China’s stock markets and bonds have significantly reduced the influence of Chinese markets in global portfolios and accelerated isolation with the rest of the world. Foreign holdings in Chinese equities and debt fell by 1.37 trillion yuan ($188 billion), or 17 percent, from a peak in December 2021 to the end of last June, Bloomberg data showed. It has prepared the data using the latest data from the Central Bank. This does not include the $12 billion outflow seen in August.
Withdrawal of funds from global investors and slowdown in China’s economy are being seen simultaneously. A recent Bank of America survey said the property market crisis and prolonged Covid restrictions, plus ongoing friction with the West, have helped create an ‘avoid China’ theme among investors. Foreign fund participation in the Hong Kong stock market has fallen by more than a third since the end of 2020.
Zhikai Chen, head of Asia and global EM equities at BNP Paribas Asset Management, says foreign investors are selling the market due to exhaustion. Concerns are being seen regarding the property market and decline in consumer spending. Disappointment over these matters has led many foreign investors to reconsider their risk appetite. However, a significant change this time is that China’s weakness is not being seen as a threat to the rest of the world either. Especially regarding the emerging markets, there is no concern behind China. MSCI China Index is predicting a decline of 7 percent in 2023. This marks the third consecutive year of decline. Which is the longest decline in the last two decades. The broader MSCI Emerging Markets Index suggests growth of 3 percent this year.
