Dongjiang free trade zone expands leasing portfolio
Dongjiang Free Trade Port Zone of Tianjin, the world"s second-largest airplane leasing market following Ireland, completed its first automobile exports via financial leasing late May.
"The move is part of the zone"s efforts to enrich its business portfolio in the leasing sector, which has seen a number of pioneering projects in China," the free trade zone said in a news release.
Up to 80 percent of the country"s airplanes, vessels and offshore engineering facilities" leasing businesses were inked in Dongjiang.
The first batch of 35 tractors manufactured by Sinotruk Qingdao Heavy Industries Co Ltd was exported to Mongolia via financial leasing by Jiahe International Financial Leasing (Tianjin) Co Ltd, which is a freight forwarding company headquartered in Dongjiang.
In the online automobile export license registration system under the Ministry of Commerce, there was no option for "international leasing" when the company began to register the business this January.
"There was no way for the operator to "click" on the computer," when the company tried to register the business in a bid to get the nod from the ministry, said a business applicant who did not want to be named.
"After coordination among multiple levels of authorities, the new option was added in the system, and the ministry issued the permit to the company," he said.
The coordinated efforts among authorities were based on the State Council"s instruction to boost the development of Tianjin Free Trade Zone area, which includes the proposal to accelerate Dongjiang"s cross-border financial leasing sector, building it into a model innovation zone for business in the country, he said.
Statistics show that from to date, the zone has innovated 40 methods of leasing and has taken the lead in the country in financial leasing.
According to Shen Lei, director of the administrative committee of the zone, Dongjiang has seen leasing business prosper since . The aircraft and heavy industry leasing sector in the zone is expected to see total assets top 1 trillion yuan ($144.9 billion) in .
As of March, the zone had seen 3,249 leasing companies registered there with a combined registered capital of up to 544.7 billion yuan. It had leased 1,463 airplanes, 110 engines, 158 vessels and 15 oil drilling platforms.
Liu Enzhuan, executive director of the research institute of the Tianjin Free Trade Pilot Zone, said Dongjiang, located in the zone, has accumulated a number of innovation experiences that could be learned by other free trade zones.
"Dongjiang"s innovative leasing businesses could significantly slash the costs for domestic companies and help break foreign monopoly," Liu said.

天津东疆保税港区继爱尔兰之后，成为全球第二大飞机租赁聚集地。不仅如此，今年5月底，东疆完成了全国首批以融资租赁形式出口汽车的业务。
东疆保税港区致力于推进融资租赁业的创新发展，完成了多项全国首创的创新业务。中国80％的飞机、国际船舶和海工平台的跨境租赁业务都在东疆进行。
此次嘉和国际融资租赁（天津）有限公司通过融资租赁方式出口蒙古的第一批35辆牵引车，由中国重汽青岛重工有限公司生产。
由于是创新业务，今年一月份企业在注册业务时，商务部汽车出口许可证申请系统中贸易方式一栏还没有“国际租赁”选项。
业务申请人说：“公司在注册业务获批许可的时候，操作者没办法在电脑上点击下一步。在经过多个部门进行协调后，系统中增加了这个新选项，并且向我们发了许可证。”
国务院《中国（天津）自由贸易试验区总体方案》明确要求加快建设国家租赁创新示范区，率先推进租赁业政策制度创新，形成与国际接轨的租赁业发展环境。统计数据显示，从至今，东疆已经创新了40种租赁方式，并在全国融资租赁业处于领先地位。
东疆管委会党组书记、主任沈蕾介绍，自以来，东疆的租赁业实现了从零到有，从起步到蓬勃发展。截至今年3月份，东疆已注册3249家租赁公司，注册资本总额达5447亿元。东疆完成了1463架飞机、110台发动机、158艘船舶和15个石油钻井平台的租赁业务。
天津自由贸易试验区研究所专家表示，“东疆已经积累了许多可以让其它自由贸易区学习借鉴的创新经验。东疆的创新租赁业务可以大幅削减国内公司的成本，并有助于打破外国垄断的局面。”
