Seminar: Update on FDI, M&A and Financing Rules

Good news for foreign investors – Rules on FDI, M&A and financing have turned to the better

During the previous years and months, Chinese rules on foreign direct investment, M&A and financing have been relaxed and modernized. A few examples:

• more industries were opened up for foreign investors,
• examination and approval by the authorities for FDI and M&A projects were lifted for most business sectors,
• authorities started online procedures that aim at simplifying red tape,
• new financing concept replacing the good old 'foreign loan quota' is currently being introduced,
• capital decreases became practically feasible and offered ways to repatriate equity.

All this offers more business opportunities for foreign investors and their Chinese subsidiaries. In this seminar we will provide an overview of the most important changes and firsthand experience from their implementation in practice.
