Billionaire investor George Soros said China's economy is heading for a hard landing and will contribute to global deflation.

"A hard landing is practically unavoidable," Mr Soros said in a television interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "I'm not expecting it, I'm observing it."

Soros said while China has resources to manage the situation, the slowdown there has spillover effects on the rest of the world. The investor said he has placed bets on further falls for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which is down about 8.5 percent for the year, and advised that it's still too early to buy equities, echoing comments from other top investors this week who said they don't see a bottom yet for markets.

Soros said he that at the end of last year he also bought US government bonds, shorted raw-material producing countries and bet that Asian currencies would fall against the dollar.

"The key issue is deflation," Soros said, citing the impact of falling oil prices and competitive devaluations, in addition to the slowdown in China. "It's a condition that we're not used to."
