China’s outbound direct investment has gone up rapidly year by year but its foreign direct investment growth dropped sharply from 7.9% (in 2015) to 3.9%. The Chinese government responded by rolling out a series of regulations further relaxing regulatory controls over FIEs (foreign-invested enterprises) and simplifying the administrative procedures around foreign investors starting up a business in China. FIE laws were amended and a simpler filing regime introduced.
This year, further actions were taken to boost foreign investment:
· The publication of the 2017 FDI Catalogue together with the long-awaited National Negative List (June 2017)
· A State Council Executive Meeting hosted by Premier Li Keqiang, urging more efforts to attract foreign investment (July 2017)
· Amendments to the MOFCOM Filing Measures (July 2017)
