 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The CHEUFDI (China-EU FDI) project aims at providing a comprehensive outlook of Chinese companies’ investment behaviour in the EU, together with an assessment of their positive and negative impacts on the European economy and growth strategies. The objectives are to map and analyse outward Chinese investments in the EU, highlighting their areas of concentration and countries/sectors of choice, and to evaluate their impact on the EU recovery. This analysis will be carried out at macro and micro-economic level by the three cooperating institutions, Coventry University Business School (CU), Grenada University of Economics (UGR) and Jiangxi University of Economics and Finance (JUFE). The project will also establish a standing working group for investigation on the Chinese presence in Europe, with the three partners as founding institutions. The group will build on the project's outcomes and will provide an opportunity for training and research in international business studies to graduate and post-graduate students.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Even though the EU is China's biggest trading partner, investment flows remain limited by comparison. An EU initiative is looking into ways to deepen and enhance the China-EU investment relationship.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Foreign direct investment (FDI) shows vast untapped potential, especially when considering the size of the two economies. Chinese investment in Europe is rising, but there is significant potential to further attract and expand investment, and to strengthen relations.

To achieve this, the EU-funded 'China-EU FDI' (CHEUFDI) project is exploring Chinese investment in the EU and seeing how this positively and negatively impacts economic growth, competitiveness and employment.

During the first reporting period, project partners mapped outward Chinese investment in the EU, focusing on Chinese FDI strategies and penetration in Europe. An analysis of industrial and investment policies at EU and national levels was also performed. A workshop was organised to discuss and further explore the findings.

Project partners are looking at the impact of Chinese FDI on EU recovery, including an assessment of the potential commercial and strategic security risks posed by China's increased presence in the EU.

Graduate and postgraduate field research and student mobility actions such as networking events and summer schools are ongoing.

In the next phase of the project, project members will investigate work procedures in Chinese-owned European companies. The study will provide valuable insight into organisational behaviour and adherence to corporate social responsibility policies.

A working group on FDI strategies and the Chinese presence in Europe will also be set up. It aims to build on the outcomes, and will consist of the project partners and key players from China and the EU.

By laying the groundwork for the building of a strategic relationship to attract more FDI, CHEUFDI is breaking down the barriers holding up Chinese investment in the EU.
