Following a ‘risk-on’ rally early in the early part of last week global stocks dropped going into Friday on concerns that a series of key events later this month may stress the global economy and financial markets.At the center of these concerns is the uncertainty surrounding the potential for the UK to exit the European Union (Brexit). On June 23rd voters will decide whether Britain will leave or remain in the European Union. Concerns over a possible Brexit surged on Friday following the release of a poll from the Independent showing increasing support for a Brexit, with 55% vote to ‘leave’ against a 45% vote to ‘remain’.Further fueling uncertainty is the US Feds upcoming FOMC meeting set to take place on June 15th. While the Fed is not expected to hike rates in June (the implied probability of a June rate hike is currently just 2%) , investors are very concerned that a surprise hike could trigger volatility across global financial markets.Our proprietary indicators continue to indicate the global economy is strong enough to withstand a potential shock stemming from a surprise rate hike in the US or a Brexit.

Despite the promise of online retailing and its rapid growth, there are worrying signs that point to either a coming slowdown, data discrepancies, or unsustainable shifts in consumer behavior.  Though it is too soon to say for sure, what is happening, the warning signs are there.

China

Uni-President China's products include beverages and food. 

The Group recorded a revenue of RMB22,761.8 million in 2020, representing an increase of 3.4% as compared with that of the corresponding period last year, and profits after tax of RMB1,625.7 million, representing an increase of 19.0% as compared with that of last year. 

We recorded a double-digit growth in the food business as the increasing brand value of daily-consumed noodles “Soup Daren（湯達人）” was highly recognized by consumers and the brand philosophy of the high-end Chinese cuisine “Kai Xiao Zao （開小灶）” was continuously promoted to create and extend the consumption scenarios, thereby contributing to such multifold growth in revenue. 

The beverages business was gradually recovering despite the impacts caused by the epidemic. “Uni Assam Milk Tea（統一阿薩姆奶茶）” was favoured by consumers as
usual with a unwavering leading position in the milk tea market and positive growth in revenue. Sugar-free tea “Chai Li Won（茶裏王）” aligned with consumers’ lifestyle concept of “sugar-free” to improve its brand recognition. On its road to value marketing, the Group remained steadfast in developing brands that are loved and trusted by consumers.
