"In our view, the CIIF is an ideal platform for us due to its size, its influence, its tradition and success in the past. That's why we've received a lot of very excited responses from our German companies. We're very happy so far with that decision. And we are very optimistic regarding the recovery (from pandemic), regarding the path that we are currently on. The International Monetary Fund is predicting that the global economy will be driven, its growth will be driven by the Chinese economy in the next five years."
