Talking Tech, Investments and the Global Economy: An Eye on the Markets

For business leaders with an eye on the global economy, the challenge of accessing goods from China amid COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai is having a material impact on the supply chain.

Even with so many uncertainties, though, some see potential investment opportunities. Recently, Regions Chief Investment Officer Alan McKnight was asked by CNBC Europe for his take on Chinese technology firms. It was part of a broader discussion about economic conditions and the overall investment landscape.

“Based on the current valuations, many of the Chinese tech platforms are cheap right now versus their historical valuations,” McKnight responded. He cautioned, however, “On any given day, rules and regulations may change and investors in China need a high degree of confidence they can wait it out. It isn’t for the faint of heart.”
