Opportunities in China 19 China is the fastest growing region for automotive sales. In 2003 4.5 million vehicles were sold. It is believed that the market has the potential to develop into the world s second largest market after the US by 2010. However, the development of the vehicle financing industry has lagged automotive sales in much of Asia. In the case of China (the 2 nd largest auto market after Japan within the region), automotive captive finance companies have only recently been allowed to commence operations. With current vehicle financing penetration of < 20% compared to 60-80% for the developed markets (e.g. 70% in Germany and 80% in the US), China offers great potential for auto financing business.
Challenges in China 20 Besides the general economic environment, credit quality and vehicle residual values are fundamental risk factors for vehicle financing business. In the absence of a reliable credit bureau (particularly for individual borrowers) and as a result of insufficient depth in the used car market, inadequate credit information and lack of predictable residual values are common problems that plague much of Asia. A well developed used car market and stable vehicle prices would allow for better estimates of vehicle residual value. Furthermore, an underdeveloped settlement / collection infrastructure and unclear and complex rules and regulations have to be overcome.
21 Strategic Outlook Strong focus on safeguarding as well as further developing the core business. Development towards a data-mining company. Extension of direct banking business in Europe taking advantage of VW Bank s European Passport. Extension and further development of insurance business. Multi-brand fleet management business. Geographic expansion. Funding : Targeting increased independence from Volkswagen Group Rating.
