China's State Council adopted the Regulations on Outbound Investment at its
April 17, 2026 executive meeting and promulgated them; they take effect July 1,
2026. The rules require banking financial institutions, within their business
scope and under market-based, rule-of-law, commercially sustainable and
risk-controllable principles, to provide financing and other financial services
for investors' outbound investment. The guidance encourages policy insurers to
offer overseas investment insurance and related services. The state will improve the
outbound investment management system, implement classified and graded
full-process supervision, strengthen risk prevention and control, and pursue
investment facilitation alongside effective risk mitigation.
