China's pandemic-battered financial system is beginning to see customers open their wallets wider, in response to KraneShares' Brendan Ahern.
“We're seeing the incremental rebound from the Chinese language client,” the agency's chief funding officer instructed “ETF Edge” this week. “[But] it isn't like turning on a lightweight change.”
The Nationwide Bureau of Statistics of China stories retail gross sales have been rising since final November.
