European Union Chamber of Commerce in China
Non-Banking Financial Institutions Working Group
Lunch Roundtable for Leasing and Auto Finance Members in Shanghai
Date: 15th October, 12.00
Venue: The Kitchen Table (W Hotel Shanghai)
Dear Members
On behalf of our Non-Banking Financial Institutions WG Vice Chair, Mr. Olivier Rambert, the European Chamber is delighted to invite members engaged in auto finance and leasing to join us for a casual lunch roundtable in Shanghai on 15th October. First half of 2020 has been nothing but unusual, with the our leasing and auto finance industry experiencing parallels of hardship and hopes together. Obviously, we need work more closely than ever, and the we are actively lobbying for the interests of all our members.
During these past nine months, the Chairs of the working group overcame difficulties and led the WG to see things happen: the drafting of the Consumer Finance & Non-Banking Financial Institutions Position Paper was realised, a meeting with Shanghai Municipal Financial Bureau was held, a lobby letter advocating for factoring was sent and several comments on leasing regulation have been submitted to CBIRC. On top of that our counterparts at the EU Delegation has become increasingly aware of our industry and the issues we face thanks to our continued activities. To see through our end goal of establishing a level playing field and build a platform for strong EU-China cooperation, more advocacies will need to be carried out in the second half of the year, and we are especially looking forward to realise WG members’ expectation. Our WG Coordinator Charlotte will also be in Shanghai on this date and look forward to finally meeting you all face to face.
Date: Thursday 15th October
Time: 12.00
Venue: The Kitchen Table (W Hotel Shanghai)
