2020 has been a year of unprecedented disruption and volatility for businesses. As well as placing enormous health and economic costs on organisations, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified and accelerated latent geopolitical risks and trends. International companies in China now find themselves facing a more polarised geopolitical environment and a domestic agenda geared towards greater self-sustainability which pose significant challenges for their corporate strategies and operations both in China and globally.
The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to a webinar on December 9 where our distinguished speaker Chris Torrens, Partner at Control Risks, will share his observations on the profound geopolitical changes taking place in 2020-21 and the focus for organisations looking to future-proof their China - and global - businesses.

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.
