China and Copper 2009-2010

The $586 million ( 4 trillion Yuan) by the Chinese government has boosted the economy significantly.

In an article by the Associate Press yesterday,
China's economy expanded more than 7 percent in the first nine months of the year and will certainly surpass the 2009 growth target of 8 percent, a top economic official said Monday.


"Achieving a growth rate of 8 percent for the year is basically no problem," Xiong, a deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, told reporters........
Statistics for September showed improving trade, housing sales, manufacturing and car sales. The data suggest that resilience in retail sales and industrial production are helping offset the blow from falling exports to China's economy.........
Separately, Yu Bin, a senior researcher with the Cabinet-affiliated Development Research Center told a conference over the weekend that growth was forecast to exceed 9 percent in the second half of the year, the financial magazine Caijing reported Monday.
"The internal and external environment for China's economic growth will be better next year," Yu said.
These bullish forecast shed glossy light on industrials and basic materials. Copper, used in pipes, power cable and other infrastructure, has been in high demand. The apparent consumption in China is very high compared to inventory. The apparent consumption of China in August was reported to be 578300 tonnes compared to 86625 tonnes of exchange inventory in warehouses at Shanghai, Guangdong and Wuxi of Shanghai Futures Exchange. The price of copper is standing near its 2009 high [Click the diagram to enlarge]

Is 1 trillion equal to 1000 billions?

Yes. 1 trillion is equal to 1000 billion in the US.

I heard it's different in the UK or Europe (forgot the details)

Then should 4 trillion yuan equal to $586 billion?

Anyway, it is a nice article and thanks for sharing...

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin take up real income.
It gets down to select a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
