China Introduces New Rules on Outbound Investment
17 January 2018
China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is introducing new rules aimed at streamlining outbound investments and
increasing oversight of investments that may have sensitivity to China.
The Administrative Measures for Outbound Investment of Enterprises (Order No. 11) comes into force on 1 March 2018 and replaces previous legislation (Order No. 9), following a public consultation.
The NDRC – China's economic planning body – says that the new rules will encourage innovative outbound investments, promote cooperation in global production capacity and reduce administrative burdens for Chinese outbound investors.
