1. Macro and Industry Analysis
1.1 Financing Environment
Combined with the background given in the case, we believe that before Prada intentionally spread its financing strategy which is fit with its financial status, the international macroeconomic environment investigation is necessary. Prada, a long history Italian enterprise, has the most direct and convenient financing channels through the European finance market. In addition, the active American market and strong Asia Pacific market also shall be taken into account.
Based on the above background, we looked up a large number of the 2010 international financial market data from the People's Bank of China Journal and Chinese Social Science Financial Statistics Database, and intercepted four quarters of the international financial market operation data and analysis in 2010.
