Looking to the second half of 2021, it is expected that furniture exports in the PRC will continue to boom with the normalisation of pandemic prevention and control as well as the enhanced demand for home life driven by the policy of staying home during the pandemic. Furthermore, under the backdrop of accelerated vaccinations around the globe, the economy in Europe and America have been recovering gradually, which will generate robust overseas demand to support the exports of the PRC. Nevertheless, facing the possible tightening of the quantitative easing policy by the US Federal Reserve and the potential risk in respect of the possible cooling down of the property market, we will stay highly alert, constantly expand into markets outside the United States and continue to strengthen our ODM capability, so as to stay calm and composed during market fluctuations.
