Foreign businesses in China have long complained about a lack of reforms announced in the past, and that foreign invested firms continue to face restrictions even after some sectors have been opened up.
In April 2018, and after years of pledges, China laid out a timetable for opening its financial sector to more foreign investment by the end of this year, with some steps promised to take place as early as this month. The liberalisation plans include steps to make Chinese equity markets more accessible, China will also make it easier for foreign banks to open branches and for brokerages to secure licenses for such businesses as stock underwriting.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to invite Andrew Polk, Co-founder of Trivium China, to provide perspective on what these changes mean to foreign business in China and why these changes are proposed now.
