HONG KONG, Jan 3, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - China's construction industry will grow 10 per cent in 2012, according to Richard Lavin, Group President of the heavy industry giant from the United States.

Speaking ahead of the 16-17 January Asian Financial Forum 2012, Mr Lavin also said he expects the Chinese mainland's currency to strengthen against the US dollar, adding that growth of the renminbi-denominated "dim sum" bond market in Hong Kong "can only increase."
