Futhermore, possible consequences for car financers due to the competition, legal requirements, and risks in the market shall be scrutinised.

Therefore, the entire essay was divided into three major parts. The first described the two core groups of competitors, automobile financing companies and the big four Chinese state-owned banks and their aims. In the second part, market conditions were considered. Moreover, I explained the risks in that emerging market and stressed the importance of a sound risk management to minimise threats. The final SWOT analysis brought up strengths and weaknesses between competitors as well as opportunities and threats. Still, risks dominate the market but as I demonstrated foreign automotive financing companies do everything in their power to reach car financing heaven. (Less)
