    Although the global economy remains unstable, the domestic financial leasing industry has achieved breakthroughs in judicial and tax systems. According to statistics, by September 2013, there were 746 leasing companies nationwide, of which 23 were financial leasing companies, 123 were domestic-funded leasing companies, and the remaining 600 were foreign-funded financing companies. More than 85% of leasing companies are concentrated in Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing, Shenzhen and Xiamen.

 

    In 2008, Duxes pioneered the China Leasing Conference with historic international influence, and has so far conducted research in this field for seven years. For a long time, Duxes' leasing conferences have been unanimously praised by government officials, industry associations and leading domestic and international enterprises. Attending delegates have shared valuable experience on opportunities, challenges and solutions in the leasing industry at the conferences. Successive conferences have provided attending delegates with a favorable platform to exchange the latest information and establish cooperative relationships.

 

    It is against this background that the State Administration of Taxation will provide an authoritative introduction to the pilot situation and future trends of value-added tax reform, and relevant pilot enterprises have also been invited to share their pilot experience on site. The conference will analyze the current situation and development trends of China's financial leasing market in 2013 through data. In addition, through diversified forms such as panel discussions and keynote speeches, the conference will join guests in discussing hot issues such as how to maintain good asset liquidity in the current economic environment, how to optimize the development of the leasing industry through businesses such as factoring and sale-leaseback, how to manage financial leasing assets, and how to preserve and optimize the interests of the financial leasing industry.

 

    In addition, the 2014 Asia-Pacific Leasing Industry Awards Ceremony will also be held concurrently with this conference to commend groups and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the leasing industry. The event will gather many well-known industry experts and leaders.
