The European Chamber is happy to invite you to join a breakfast seminar on 13 December, 2012, updating you on what foreign exchange impacts you need to consider on your investment in China.
On November 21, 2012, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) rolled out a Circular on Further Improving and Adjusting Direct Investment Foreign Exchange Administration, i.e. Huifa [2012] No. 59 (Circular No. 59) which is to take effect as of December 17, 2012, to further liberalize the once tight foreign exchange control over foreign direct investment. Our invited speakers will highlight the crucial points and possible impacts of the Circular No. 59.
Our speakers will also be happy to answer any specific questions you may have relating to your company’s business in China.
