Compared with traditional commercial bank customers, consumer finance customers and auto finance customers have a higher credit risk: they are more vulnerable, and more likely to default and obtain bad personal credit records. At the same time, these customers might be unfamiliar or do not proactively seek the security net that insurance provides. Meanwhile, insurance groups and holding companies strive to bring synergies to their markets by cross-selling between life insurance, health insurance and P&C companies, which requires them to obtain the qualification of cross-selling each other’s products in China. Many foreign-owned insurance companies do not have this cross-selling qualification, and those that do have obtained it in the past only for selected business lines. Meanwhile, draft regulation for commercial banks to cross-sell insurance has been released. In addition, consumer finance companies and auto finance companies seek to act as insurance agents in the same way that banks do. To successfully compete in the market, insurance companies, consumer finance companies and auto finance companies must be enabled to apply for this qualification.

尊敬的会员,

10月27日,上海市十五届人大常委会第二十六次会议表决通过了《上海市反不正当竞争条例》(以下简称“《条例》”)并将于明年1月1日施行。本次通过的《条例》将上位法修订后的相关规定以及实践中总结的诸多新业态及问题纳入其中,在《反不正当竞争法》的框架内做了很多细化,但其中仍有某些界定较为模糊,增加了企业面临监管的合规压力。

中国欧盟商会有幸请到上海市人大常委会法制工作委员会两位老师莅临商会为会员公司深度解读《上海反不正当竞争条例》的立法思路,并解答会员针对该《条例》的疑问与顾虑。现诚邀企业报名参加,本次讲座向中国欧盟商会会员免费开放。

请在报名时备注是否为线上还是线下参加,并将报名信息(单位、姓名、职务、邮箱、手机)发至sthe@europeanchamber.com.cn邮箱。

During August, the European Chamber, along with the US-China Business Council and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), participated in an anonymous survey based on an annual research project financed by the influential Chinese think tank CF40 (China Finance 40 Forum) and conducted by CASS (the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). This year the project was focused on shedding light on the difference in perceptions between China’s regulators and foreign financial institutions when it comes to the opening up, underlining that there is a big gap. On one hand, China’s officials think they make great efforts to push forward the financial opening. On the other hand, foreign financial institutions feel limited improvement and wish the opening could bring more impactful changes.

On this basis, CASS has now published the report at the second Shanghai Bund Summit and are delighted to share the results with members of the European Chamber’s Financial Services Working Groups. At this meeting, Mr. Qiyuan Xu, Senior fellow, Head of Economic Development Department and Deputy Director of RCIF (Research Center of International Finance) at CASS will present the report.
