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 on sales and lease back and factoring business advocacies.

Within the growing renewable energy market, production is increasingly moving offshore, both in a move to capture better and more abundant energy resources as well as for social and logistical reasons. Half of the world’s population lives within 60 km from the coastline, making it a natural match for energy supply and demand. Demand for new-build and converted FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessels and FLNG (Floating Liquid Natural Gas) facilities have increased due to the declining rate of new onshore oil discoveries to historic low levels and also from technology that enables efficient deepwater oil exploration in unprecedented ocean depths.
