Moody's: Chinese Investors Continue Shift to Offshore Assets as Property Slump and Low Rates Drive Move

Moody's Ratings said in a report published this week that Chinese households are shifting assets away from property and bank deposits towards higher-return investments at home and abroad, despite tighter regulation. The report said years of slump in the Chinese property market, combined with low interest rates, have driven demand for alternative investments, with investors seeking products that offer "higher returns than deposits with relatively low risk".
