The Association of Specialized Credit Institutions (ASFAC) met in Lisbon with a delegation from the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), which represents approximately 18,000 members in the Chinese automobile sector, to discuss cooperation opportunities in automobile financing, with special focus on new energy vehicles. ASFAC highlighted the relevance of southern Europe as a reference in automobile credit and presented the Portuguese market, whose sector represents more than 75% of credit granted to individuals for financing. However, ASFAC criticized the absence of concrete information on the transposition to Portugal of the new European consumer credit contracts regime, whose deadline ended in November 2025, warning that this uncertainty harms the preparation of institutions and the evaluation of new partnerships. The meeting had the support of the Embassy of China in Portugal and the law firm Broseta.
