Read moreThe Reduction to the number of Items in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone ‘Negative List’ is Welcomed by European Industry but Further Measures to Reduce its Scope and Speedy Nationwide Implementation of the Piloted Reforms are Still Needed
Beijing, 1 July 2014 – The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China welcomes the government’s reduction of the scope of Negative List for the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (CSPFTZ) that was announced in the evening of 30th June. The announcement serves to reduce the number of items for which foreign investment is still restricted from 190 to 139. This represents a reduction of approximately 27% to the scope of the Negative List. Although the extent of the cuts is slightly lower than the European business community in China had been hoping for and some previous official press statements had forecasted, it is still a substantial decrease and an encouraging step in the right direction.

This is leading many firms to set more modest expectations and scale back their investment plans for the Chinese marketplace. However, implementation of meaningful reforms and, in particular, increased market access would likely spur a re-intensification of European investment in China, according to the Business Confidence Survey 2014 released today by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and Roland Berger Strategy Consultants.
