上海自贸区将加快改革步伐 - 2015年12月30日

SHANGHAI will free up overseas investment for individuals and connect the city's and London's stock exchanges to accelerate financial reforms in the free trade zone, officials said yesterday.

The Shanghai headquarters of the People's Bank of China said it will allow individuals to invest overseas directly while also letting banks, brokerages and insurance companies innovate their operations through free trade accounts, and relaxing foreign exchange controls with a negative list.

Details of the widely anticipated Qualified Domestic Individual Investor program, which will allow persons to invest in capital, real estate and industrial sectors, are being drafted.
