LONDON (Reuters) - China, widely seen as an exporter of disinflation for the past two decades, is likely to drive higher inflation in coming years, the chief investment officer of Neuberger Berman said on Monday.

"The common prosperity drive may be another driver of inflation," Eric Knutzen told the annual Reuters Investment Outlook Summit, referring to the Chinese authorities' efforts to create a more equitable society.
