The opportunities and challenges faced by China s logistics enterprises under the financial crisis

Although the development of financial logistics business can bring win-win effects to financial logistics providers, first-chain node enterprises and financial institutions, providers face a variety of risks. Effectively analyzing and controlling these risks is one of the keys to the success of financial logistics. The main risks of financial logistics providers can be summarized as follows:

1) Internal management risk: This is also one of the common risks in enterprises. These include outdated and loose organizational structure, imperfect management system and supervision mechanism, low quality of staff, and errors in management decision-making.

In China, the internal management risk of enterprises is often relatively large.

2) Operational risks: Logistics companies will face operational risks. However, logistics companies engaged in financial business, due to the need to provide diversified services in the customer's production and marketing chain, relatively expand the scope of operation, which also increases the risk.

From warehousing and transportation to dealings with banks and enterprises, as well as with customer suppliers and suppliers, operational risks are everywhere. China's logistics and transportation industry is still in the stage of extensive development, so operational risks cannot be ignored.

3) Technical risk: the risk caused by the lack of technical support from financial logistics providers. For example, the value evaluation system is not perfect or the evaluation technology is not high, and the backwardness of network information technology causes incomplete information and poor business.

4) Market risk: mainly for the ability to maintain the value of inventory quality. Including the fluctuation of the pledge market**, the change of liquidity caused by the financial exchange rate, etc.

5) Security risks: The financial logistics provider must be responsible for all kinds of losses incurred during the period when the pledge is in the warehouse, so the safety of the warehouse, the integrity of the employees, and the credibility of the bill of lading should be considered. It also includes issues such as whether the facilities for the preservation of pledges can effectively prevent damage and deterioration.

In general, China's political and economic environment poses little risk to financial logistics. However, changes in the international environment will have an effect through **, exchange rate and other aspects.

7) Legal risk: mainly the terms and conditions of the contract and the ownership of the pledge. Because the business involves multiple entities, the ownership of the pledge flows between the entities, and ownership disputes are likely to arise.

On the other hand, the provisions related to financial logistics in China's Guarantee Law and Contract Law are not perfect, and there are no other guiding documents to rely on, so the probability of legal problems in business contracts is not low.

8) Credit risk: including the legitimacy of the goods, the integrity of the customer, etc., and the credit risk is also closely related to the above-mentioned financial risks, operational risks, security risks and legal risks. In the specific implementation of financial logistics business, the corresponding risk management should be carried out in combination with the above-mentioned main risk issues.

The future development trend of international logistics, the impact of the financial crisis on the development of China's international logistics.

As a new rising industry, international logistics is attracting more and more attention and attention to it. Driven by economic globalization, the allocation of resources has expanded from a factory, a region, and a country to the whole world. Through modern means of transportation, information technology and network technology, international logistics has reduced logistics costs, improved logistics efficiency, and played an increasingly important role in the allocation of international and global resources.

Economic globalization is the most important trend in the development of the world today, and other trends cannot but be affected and constrained by this trend. The development of international logistics is inseparable from the background of world economic development: that is, the economic globalization that has swept the world.

Economic globalization has brought unprecedented opportunities for the development of international logistics.

International logistics is an important part of modern logistics, and it is a logistics operation mode for international goods across countries and regions. Under the conditions of economic globalization, the current development of international logistics is facing unprecedented opportunities.

1。The rapid expansion of international logistics has provided a broad space for the development of international logistics.

2。The re-division of labor in the international industry provides a wide range of services for the development of international logistics.

3。The change of the connotation of international logistics has put forward new service requirements for international logistics.

The new trends and characteristics of the current international logistics development.

Because the modern logistics industry has an important impact on the economic development of the country, the improvement of national life and the enhancement of competitiveness, therefore, all countries in the world attach great importance to the modernization and internationalization of the logistics industry, so that the development of international logistics presents a series of new trends and characteristics

Financial logistics is a financial business that provides financial integration, settlement, insurance and other services for the logistics industry, which is produced with the development of the logistics industry. There are three main bodies involved in logistics finance: logistics enterprises, customers and financial institutions, and logistics enterprises and financial institutions work together to provide financing for capital demand-side enterprises, and the development of logistics finance has a very urgent practical need for these three parties.

The close integration of logistics and finance can strongly support the circulation of social commodities and promote the smooth progress of the reform of the circulation system. Logistics finance is becoming an important financial business of domestic banks, and gradually showing its role.

Let's put it in layman's terms :

When the financial crisis comes, the economy is hit hard, and the production enterprises have no funds to continue producing, or there is no market for sales, or the sales market is reduced (because people's pockets are shrinking, they will moderate consumption), and naturally the output is reduced. With less production, do you need so many cars to transport goods? Since there is no need for a lot of cars to transport goods, the automobile logistics industry has no orders and naturally shrinks.

It can be said that the financial crisis is not only involved in the automotive logistics industry, but its harm has penetrated into all walks of life and threatened everyone's life. The Great Depression of 1929-1933 in the United States may be very instructive to you.
