Municipal Government will be stepping up its efforts
to attract foreign investment, expand imports and exports,
and increase government purchases to meet the needs

capability to participate should strive to play a bigger
role in Beijing's economic development in order to secure
more purchase orders from the government.

the development of services and non-polluting new industries
such as telecommunications, environmental protection,
new building materials, high technologies, conventions
and exhibitions, tourism, media and advertising over
the next few years. Companies are strong in these sectors
should not miss this great opportunity.
4. Traditional industries. - Traditional industries, including
the production of commemorative souvenirs, memorabilia
and sporting goods, will also benefit from the Olympic
boom.
5. Human resources. - In order to make the 2008 Olympics
a success, Beijing will need to import foreign talent.

Games Bidding Committee is an Australian national. Also,
Beijing's environmental protection sector will seek
the assistance of advisers from overseas, while some
experts have already been appointed to senior positions
on the China Securities Regulatory Commission. This
paves the way for senior management personnel from foreign
countries to enter Beijing's job market in the years
ahead.International companies should be able to benefit
from Beijing's economic boom and do great business over
the next few years if they can seize this gold opportunity.
