Temasek Focuses on China’s Micro-Level Growth Trends, Head of China Says

A long-term investor in China assets, Temasek International Pte. Ltd. tends to look beyond GDP figures and find opportunities on the micro-level, Wu Yibing, the company’s president of China, said in an interview with Caixin last week.

The Singaporean state-owned company mainly invests in four areas in China — digitalization, sustainability, life sciences and new consumption — representing at least half of China’s GDP, according to Wu. Because Temasek’s investments tend to be from the bottom up, macroeconomic trends aren’t necessarily the most important factor to watch out for when seeking opportunities on a granular level.
