As the Chinese economy continues to develop, the size of investments in fields such as information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, healthcare, environmental protection, new energy continues to grow. At the same time, as different industries' understanding of finance leasing deepened, based on the experiences of other advanced countries, the penetration rate of finance leasing (as an important financial tool) into various fields of China's real economy can increase significantly. It is therefore predicted that the finance leasing industry is an industry with significant room for development in the future. The Company is of the view that the industry that JIC Leasing is involved in and the fields relating to the provision of finance leasing services will have broad future market prospects.
The Company believes that investing into JIC Leasing will further optimise the investment portfolio of the Company, and will allow the scope of investments relating to financial services in the investment portfolio of the Company to become more comprehensive.
